Oh, I should have said (sorry, didn't see this until now), that the PUNKMAKER defaults to classless.

If you want to use one of the in-game classes, click the USE CLASS button (top-right).

Great. Three players will be sufficient unless we have any more takers?

Looks like Zola's stolen taxi is your gang's means of transportation!

To prevent burn-out this time, I'm going to:

a) keep the pace pretty slow (probably said that last time...)

b) critically, not play a narrative campaign, just have a series of 'jobs', one after another. Campaigns are always my undoing, I've realised.

Sounds good. I'm going to embrace the intended temporary nature of characters with an appropriately cyberpunk kamikaze approach.

Probably for the best that you've got a robot dog and not a real one or Zola would probably try and perform some taxidermy on it.

Maybe he already has; covered it in a real dog hide, laser-cannon sticking out of its mouth.

With his newfound companions (including a robot crawler with a real dog skin over the top which smells very bad because Zola uses cheap chemicals that doesn't totally eliminate the smell of the dead animal) in the back of his taxi, Zola drives frantically around numerous city blocks in circles hoping to score some tabs of his favourite street drug, Brazilian Dex. His driving is highly erratic as he swerves round corners seemingly at random, his eyes firmly focused on the cities many back-alleys rather than the road ahead. His companions loud protests at being flung around the back of the cab are drowned out by the obnoxiously loud Nu-Oceanwave radio station that blasts at full volume.

As he drives, Zola briefly reflects on his past gang and ponders the reason as to why they all so unceremoniously abandoned him. He decides that it must have been because they simply weren't cool enough and felt intimdated by the commanding aura he clearly projects. Zola only hopes that his new gang, currently displaced in a tangled pile of limbs together on the back seat (the taxi has no seatbelts), have got it what takes to hang with the Z-Man.

Probably doesn’t help that my superlube has leaked all over the seats.

Sen has a green mohawk and skeletal tattoos over his entire body. He is alarmingly hypermobile and smells strongly of cigarettes and Deep Heat. He never smokes fewer than three cigarettes at once.

Raising a silent prayer of thanks for her innate ability to crawl into small spaces, Doze crams herself into the relative safety of the cab's glovebox. The process is aided by the presence of the otherwise unwelcome superlube.

"Why did I get mixed up with organics?" she wonders, determining to seek out the companionship of more reliable mechanical friends instead at the earliest opportunity.
