Since Cyberpunk is the rage today, we explore a very loosely defined cyberpunk setting, in the interest of seeing whether the group would like to expand on it. In a mysterious event, the world's legacy of superheroes have all vanished, leaving the Earth as mundane and normal as it has ever been. However, superhuman things still occur in the future. Earth's first interplanetary war occurred, with a psychic alien race that are slang referred to as the Grey. Earth's countries were fragmented by the assault, but the A.I. development by numerous high-level companies supplied robotic forces to help supplement and eventually turn the tide of the Grey war. Then those sapient robots had their own rebellion that was barely put down.  Now three races live in a city, full of megacorps, specist tensions, and an ever-weakening city government. Into this city on the brink, new faces arrive.  ((Much love to Base Raiders, XCOM, and Overwatch for certain historical elements)) Characters: 16 - A robot melee expert from Japan that's obsessed with proper advertisement schemes Saint Luke - A small time doctor whose past as a military corporate elite urges him to do more Agent Martinez - Last agent of SHIELD, who cannot explain why he didn't disappear like all the rest. (Bionics/Secret Operative) Hound - A superhuman investigator with an uncanny read on people Arn Swartz (Watchman) - Super soldier. Former corporate type of the Redguard, had a crisis of conscience.

A group of commuters in a New York subway find themselves stranded after crazed robots start attacking the subway station. Fleeing into the tunnels, the commuters stumble across the base of a masked crime boss. What secrets lurk within it? What are the robots after? This scenario was run using new playtest rules for running origin story adventures, when unlikely heroes answer the call to action and gain superpowers to fight evil (or villains gain superpowers for fun and profit, whatever floats your boat.)  Playtest rules are available on the Base Raiders website. Buy Base Raiders for PDF or print. Email proof of purchase of a print copy to get the PDF.

Synopsis: At Gencon 2012, we were fortunate enough to play and record the playtest of a World War 1 scenario written by Mr. Glancy and Frank Frey. In the Blegian city of Leuven, a man is murdered in an impossible manner - taken out of a locked room and thrown from a great height, his body dashed across the street a great distance away. The German occupation force wishes the murder solved quickly and without incident. To that end, they've assembled an unlikely task force of Belgians, Americans, and Germans. Given the backdrop of war, atrocity, and the occult, can this group of investigators find the real murderer before it's too late?
