Cyberpunk with the official serial numbers filed off set using the Without Numbers family member Cities Without Number. This is a heist based game - you get a job from a fixer, figure out how to do the job, then execute it, hopefully (mostly) living to tell the tale. Or else fall nameless and forgotten in some warehouse or shipyard. Probably taking 4 - 6 players. No magic with the exception of Graced. Wired edge is banned; the upkeep cost just is hard to work into pbp. Selecting 100% based on players and quality of app, don't worry about there not being any hackers or too many etc. We can figure that out (or not, and just roll with it) when the time comes. Looking for a mix of new to old players in terms of MW as well as the Without Numbers family. We'll try to take the genre seriously; not a grimdark meatgrinder but not a whimsical romp neither. See background tab for some fluff as well.

You all begin at a corporate briefing for a job outside the city limits of New Providence in the Irradiated Zone. Near what used to be Boston. Something brought you here and money is no small part of that but perhaps there is something else. The need for glory, the lust for violence, maybe even the delusion that you can do some good in the world.... It is 8 am and the ex-merc at the laser projector unbeknownst to you has already killed a man. New Providence is like that sometimes.

Some Inspirations: "A Scanner Darkly", "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", "Blade Runner", "Blade Runner: 2049", Cyberpunk 2077, Fallout, Mad Max, Total Recall, Robocop, The Running Man (book and Arnold movie). This is basically a scifi/cyberpunk/dystopia I like list to be honest...
