Custom Viruses for Your Netruns

3lektra’s deck ran out of her final Sword program, and the Kraken was still bearing down on her. The rest of the team fought beside her meat body, but weren’t of any help. She launched a desperate gambit and ran the Zap command. And to her relief, the Kraken de-rezzed, granting her access to the final level of the architecture.

Cyberpunk, the game, genre, attitude, the meta, and…everything.

I’ve recently been asked to join the Cyberpunk Uncensored team as a blog author to help provide more posts, as well as create a higher diversity of content. The idea is to be an immense resource for GMs, players, and fans of the genre.

I’ve been a cyberpunk fan since….
