The Talent Agency

Part one of Mission Inaction, focusing on Nano Ranger, based on a song chosen by his player. The 'Sentai of Little Shibuya' reality TV show is looking for some new talent and Tokusatsu hero-in-training Nano Ranger is perfect for the role... if he can keep his nerves in check. On this episode is Paolo as Nano Ranger, Ashley as Xandria and Ray as Raz Mataz

Part two of Mission Critic's Choice (Future Bass Remix) - an adaptation of the mission from the Shadowrun Anarchy: Chicago Chaos sourcebook. Raz Mataz and Xandria dive further into the not-so-abandoned Genesis Studios in Chicago. Blending in with the gang that have taken up residence will take some serious anime knowledge. Oh, and keeping one's outfit clean is of utmost importance.

Emerging from the depths, it's a new episode of The Talent Agency! To highlight Chicago Chaos, a splatbook for Shadowrun Anarchy, we run one of the new missions from that book! Raz Mataz and Xandria take a trip to the US to recover the property deeds for a burned-out film studio. Raz makes peace with the morals of his contacts. Xandria has a terse word with her jester.

The final part of Mission 3030, run in Hard Wired Island. With their information and resources gathered, Soyeoung, Maru and Junior infiltrate the underground auction run by the Terabyte Boiz; encountering corporate infidelity, grey ops technology and mediocre catering. A bumper-length episode of two hours, this session is Totally Orbsome.

Part Two of Mission 3030 run in Hard Wired Island! Maru, Soyeong and Junior investigate into the rowdy (and faintly useless) hacker gang the Terabyte Boiz and their hunt for the mysterious entity known as Architect Dreams. In their preparations they find a long-legged robot in a nightclub, get called out for performative wokeness and bluff about knowing where the cool kids hang out.

Welcome to The Talent Agency B-Sides, where we drift from Shadowrun into other systems! This time - Hard Wired Island. Life is hard on The Beanstalk - the space elevator stretching from the middle of the US to the Moon. Soyeong, Maru and Junior live one day at a time on the Marsha Stretch, a small LGBTQ+ community on the 7th Station Ring. But the threat of gentrification and replacement by robotics company Im-X and the rowdy techno-gang the Terabyte Boiz are going to make fighting the power just that little bit harder.
