2 Choose your number, from 2 to 5. A high number means

you're more CYBER (tech, science, logic, precision). A
low number means you're more PUNK (intuition, improvi-
sation, street smarts, recklessness).

to roll over your number.
0 If none of your dice succeed, it goes wrong. The GM
says how things get worse.
1 If one die succeeds, you barely manage it. The GM
inflicts a complication, harm, or cost.
Introduce the team by asking each player 2 questions about
their character. This can be a short flashback to a “job
interview” scene between the player and Dar.C.
Some good questions: Why did you decide to become a
Runner? What in your former life prepared you for your current
role? What do you think of [Character X]?
Play to find out how the Runners complete the mission.

YOU HAVE:
An augmentation of your choice (robot arm, bionic eyes,
Net-brain interface, etc)
A ranged weapon of your choice (submachine gun, wrist
rockets, sniper rifle, sonic blaster, etc)
A melee weapon of your choice (katana, stun baton,
titanium knuckles, etc)
A Net-enabled personal communication device
A sick cyberpunk outfit
YOUR GOAL: Complete the mission and stay alive.

If two dice succeed, you do it well.
Good job!
3 If three dice succeed, you get a critical success! The GM
tells you some extra benefit you get.
! If you roll your exact number, you are a true CYBERPUNK.
You get a special insight into what’s going on. Ask the
GM a question and they’ll answer you honestly. You can
change your action if you want to, then roll again.
GM: Frame the answer by explaining how the character
knows the new information. Is it something they deduced,
intuited, remembered, observed... ?
Begin the game with the team arriving at a starting location,
or by having a contact approach them with a new job.
Before a threat does something, show signs that it’s about to
happen, then ask what the characters do.“The technopunk
racks his arm-cannon and takes aim at you. What do you do?”
Call for a roll when the situation is uncertain. Don’t pre-plan
outcomes – let the chips fall where they may. Use failures to
push the action forward. The situation always changes after a
roll, for good or ill.
If you don't know something, ask the players! “Who’s your
contact? What’s the name of the nightclub? Where's the corp
scientist’s apartment?”
