Tears & Kisses In the Rain: A Cyberpunk Fable
Saturdays, June 6 & June 30
5pm-9 PT
For our 4th game, we’re going cyberpunk. There’re a decent amount of cyberpunk options out there, but Tears & Kisses has become my absolute favorite, and I’m hoping that you really enjoy it as much as I do! T&K hits notes for me that other cyberpunk games don’t but games like Monsterhearts do, and it’s a mash-up of IPs I love, like the movies Streets of Fire and Bladerunner, the Gibson novels Neuromancer or Johnny Mnemonic, the series Altered Carbon, and the anime Ghost in the Shell. (btdub, if you haven’t seen SoF, get on that pronto. Lurve at first watch for almost everyone I know - wait’ll you see Willem Dafoe in the kinda patent leather waders outfit and the [no spoiler] duel!)
So back to T&K... It’s is a PbtA game where you’re playing cyberpunks in a dystopian City controlled by the Man. It’s about struggling against the Man and his system of inequality while fighting for the things that matter and make you feel human like love and rock-n-roll. And you’re stuck, in your City, in your neighborhood, because the Man likes it like that, it’s the way things work.At least before you just can’t take it anymore and decide to try to leave the City, and that ain’t easy.
We’ll be making characters and burning our City on stream in game 1/part 1, but we’ll have chosen our playbooks prior to streaming, though only by color/description, not with mechanical info. The playbooks are:
The Rocker - a musician trying to make it big
The Street Samurai - a chrome warrior in service or running from whomever paid for for their upgrades
The Fixer - a deal maker and hustler trying to get ahead
The Prodigal Soldier - someone who just returned changed from the war to find either the City or they changed
The Detective- someone obsessively pursuing a mystery or truth no one else wants found
The Renegade Replicant - a robot on the run before their time runs out
The Revolutionary Firebrand - a charismatic activist trying to bring down the Man
The Street Warlord - head of a gang that controls the neighborhood
Tears & Kisses in the Rain: A Cyberpunk Fable
tbKS’d after Gina runs it apparently, so until then here are some inspirational images
