Mission Briefing: We have reason to believe a string of supernatural deaths, possibly murders, taking place around Saint Renata University in Barcelona indicate the presence of a HARBINGER and DOOR OF POWER. Three bodies have turned up, each time making conventional forensic examination impossible as they disintegrated into flower petals soon after discovery.

The University is currently holding an arts festival so an effort should be made to cause minimal disruption or attention. Discover what is going on with these deaths, protect the RETURNERS, locate the HARBINGER and stop them from opening a DOOR OF POWE

Hollowpoint drops you right in the action for mission-directed non-stop pursuit of terrible goals, designed for one-shots and convention play. No one in this game is innocent. You're an Agent. No one ever messes with you, because you are that far above the common herd of men that sleepwalk through their lives. You get things done, and that usually means blood. Or pain. Or, when you are feeling generous, death. Inspired by every ultraviolent action movie you've ever seen, Hollowpoint is about being that good at something that bad. Make no mistake: you will be a very, very bad person. Hollowpoint is by C. W. Marshall & Brad J. Murray and is available here https://vsca.itch.io/hollowpoint Background image of thumbnail Thom Milkovic https://unsplash.com/@thommilkovic

A roleplaying game about independence, control, freedom and compliance. This GMless roleplaying game is designed to explore themes around independence, surveillance, freedom and compliance. It is geared towards dystopian science fiction, social allegory, and psychological drama. Games occur within a society that tries to both undermine our sense of self and prevent free collaboration with others. The focus of our story is a person who is in some way trapped, monitored, and expected to conform to a society they are at odds with. Influenced by fiction in the vein of The Prisoner, Stalker, and Utopia, and real struggles against mass surveillance, the Hostile Environment, and the alienating effects of capitalism.

Alun R facilitates the 1st of 2 sessions of Against the Neon Conspiracy. This is the first playtest of a variation of his game 'Against the Dark Conspiracy' (https://gallusgames.itch.io/ or https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/373984/Against-the-Dark-Conspiracy) set in a sinister cyberpunk future where a conspiracy of competing zaibatsu seek to subdue the people and maintain their hegemony over the Sprawl. In this session we introduces the PCs and build the Sprawl where they make their lives. We meet Tower, the former union man taken apart, rebuilt and enhanced to be the team's Face; Spider, a vat-grown-death-angel-assassin, who does their best work naked; Hive, the team's GhostChaser seeking revenge for everything the Corps have done to them, the people, and the technology they loved. Finally, there's Kumo, genetically enhanced to be a potent 5-foot-nothing bulldozer with ballet moves and very sharp claws fighting to save others from the fate that befell her community. Ms Smith contracts with them to obtain some offline data from a secure location below Nexus-Pharma University where a competitor, NeuroScore, seems to have authority. There's different ways in, the usual CorpSec, and a dire warning ... then a mysterious figure and wasps, so many wasps ...

We pick up with Spider in the ducts ... with cyber-wasps ... and Hive Ghosting the system to work out which way they should go ... past the mysterious cowled figure facing off with Tower and Kumo. The sound of a minigun powering up under their robe prompts Spider to put a high calibre round into what they (mistakenly) assume is its brain, while Tower leaps out of the line of fire and carries Hive to safety. Then Kumo dances in close to slice and dice the minigun ... if only there wasn't a second one! There's human-insect hybrids, and an old school data core ... then a guardian disposed of; the dangers of data extraction revealed; and an explosion before ... a Zoom-Zoom way out ... and a moral dilemma solved by a different zaibatsu ...
