The Sixth World

Hoi, chummer! I’m Freshmeat™, your friendly, glitch-free* ‘Runner Orientation Virtual Assistant! Ready to take your first step into the big, beautiful deathtrap we call the Sixth World? Of course you are! ;-D

In the Sixth World it’s best to just assume everything…yes, even that vending machine over there…wants you dead and probably has a contingency plan.

But that’s okay! Because now you’ve got me!

See, running the shadows means doing the kinds of things that make folks nervous. Folks like cops, megacorps, civilians, dogs, drones, and at least three government agencies you’ve never heard of. And when people get scared? They shoot! PEW! PEW!

That’s why I’m here to help you learn the ropes, dodge the bullets, and maybe even live long enough to make rent!

So let’s pop open the file marked “totally safe“ (figuratively. you should NEVER open that file), and learn how the world got so delightfully broken, who’s sitting on top of the pile of our glorious dystopian hellscape, and how you can survive it all with minimal loss of limb!
