    Foreword
    Let

    “Night City… If you were to liken any place to a modern day Babylon, it would be the good old city of dreams. Rampant corruption, Crime statistics that ascend into the stratosphere, and a poverty rate that makes bombed out shitholes in the midwest look like pre-collapse New York city in comparison. But there’s one thing that keeps people from all over the globe showing up in droves to the urban sprawl. The promise of Night City, where your dreams can be reality.

    Most bright eyed and hopeful dreamers don’t know that behind the mystique and glamor lies a maw of teeth sharper than any monomolecular edge or mantis blade. From the gangs of petty criminals, corrupt police, and unscrupulous corporate magnates, Night City chews them up and spits them out, turning otherwise good people into junkies, joytoys, and everything in between. But sometimes those of humble means rise to heights unimagined, the lowliest of intern’s in a corporation, gangoons meant as little more than meat shields for senior gang members, and even the every-man who has had enough of the rat race, and decided to take the path of the edgerunner. Lotta gonks have left their mark on the city, the (in)famous Johnny Silverhand, Morgan Blackhand, Adam Smasher, David Martinez, and the city's newest edition to its wall of legends, a merc who simply went by V.

    But remember choom, for every success story, there are 10 others who failed, the price of that failure often being a life. And for most of those aforementioned names? They didn’t even make it in the end. Sometimes when the chips are down, it isn’t about saving the world… It's about saving yourself, metaphorically and literally. So go ahead and ask, what price are you willing to pay to be a legend?”
    Life in 2078
    It

    2078, hell of a year to be alive, Night City still reeling from the death of Saburo Arasaka and the assault of Arasaka HQ by the merc V, the first year of the Peralez administration seeing the poverty and homelessness rates decrease for the first time in years as well as the general lessening of the stranglehold that major corporations held over the city and its denizens. All seems well in the City Of Dreams, but it could be anything but.

    With lessened corporate oversight and placation/strong-arming, many of the city’s criminal gangs have ramped up their more illicit operations as well as bolstering membership numbers with the disenfranchised with hopes of carving out a living outside the corporate ladder. Militech as well as the NUSA have begun to attempt to force their way into a position of power with the now weakened Arasaka still consolidating after the 2077 assault of Arasaka HQ, while Jago Szabo and the elusive Mr. Hands plot from within Pacifica’s quarantined district of Dogtown patiently. The status quo that had dominated Night City for decades has been toppled, and the stage is set for a new main player to take the center, but right now? None of that concerns a gonk like you.

    Who are you exactly? A rocker looking for their first big break or just the next pair of legs to get in between? A drifter turned street samurai, selling your blade and gun to the highest bidder? One of the few honest badges trying to scrape through the muck to bring down Night Cities worst? A Netrunner diving headfirst into the blackwall for the first time?

    Or perhaps you’re just a hapless Cyberpunk, caught up in the moment and tagging along for the ride.

    The disappearance of Night City’s top dog V, has started an edgerunner renaissance, every gonk with C tier implants and shoddy iron wants to be the next living legend. Coincidentally not long after V vanished, those versed in the inner workings of the Net noticed an alarming uptick in activity around the blackwall, enough to have Netwatch shitting their pants and pulling major resources into investigating as well as moving multiple assets into Night City. Whether you were caught up in the fanfare of the surge of edgerunners in the city or had been pushed into it through other means such as necessity or desperation doesn’t matter, you’re here and you’re expected to perform, so don’t fuck it up, second chances are practically unheard of in the underworld and word of botched jobs as well as shady biz travels fast, In order to succeed you’ll need to be equal parts cunning, brutal, and most importantly, lucky.

    But you already knew that huh? Get a grip, Samurai. You have a city to burn.

    “Hey Choom! I know you’re probably wondering how I found your email address, but that’s the beauty of having netrunners on the payroll right? Anywho, I heard from some chooms in low places that you’re in between a regular crew and fixer, luckily it seems we can both help each other out, I just so happen to need a group of talented edgerunners for a job that’s cropped up, real simple and easy eddies. If it sounds like something you’d be interested in, drop down to the Afterlife and ask for Eddie. We’ll be set for a respectable chunk of change (split fairly, of course) and if all goes well, this could be the beginning of a very profitable relationship.

    I look forward to hearing from you : )”
