Hi all- I’m getting closer to releasing Adrenaline, my modern / near future hack. I hope to have the artwork in by the end of the week.
Think Ocean’s 11, Mission Impossible, or Fast & Furious…with cyber augmentation. I have brief descriptions for about 30 real cities (with 4 factions, 4 people, 4 interesting items, and 9 locations) to play in and optional rules to add in the supernatural. I’m not sure if these will be in the core book, or as short expansions.
I also am working on a poker deck to help with prep and game play. Each card will be unique.
Cards 10-K and the Jokers will showcase 18 global factions, while the 36 numbered cards (A-9) will each have inspiration for for an NPC (alternate names, occupation, motivation, strengths & weaknesses, archetype, and appearance).
In addition, the cards will serve as a generation tool with jobs, objects, events, clues, locations, obstacles, chase complications, and a 1 word “oracle.”. I have attached the first two cards – the Jokers. It is completely open to the players as to what they might want them to be. The C / R circle can also be used as part of the recon (Find & Fix) phase of an operation to quickly determine the position for an intelligence gathering task.
I have a question about using multiple cities. Are you planning on having the group pick a city and stay there, or is travel between cities going to be expected?
The city guides only provide enough information to get started. A brief description, 4 districts, 4 local factions, 4 interesting objects (to steal?), 4 people, 9 locations.
Here are two more example cards.
Top left: Generic Location
Center (red): Obstacle - for mission generation
Center (black): Chase Obstacle
Center (lower): NPC characteristics (occupation, motivations, strength, weakness, archetype, appearance)
Lower right: Oracle (for a tarot like reading)
Left side: clue / lead
Right side: Job type.
