This Thursday, the world's only cyberpunk fantasy show inspired (in part) by Harlots airs its THIRD episode. Come visit us at Show Us Your Crits while we play the Shadowrun campaign Neurally Ambiguous: Geppetto Must Die Thursday at 5pm PST / 8pm EST.
A blasted Chicago is finally healing from the nuclear bomb dropped on it by Ares Macrotechnology and the United Canadian and American States military in a failed attempt to exterminate a metaphysical infestation of insect spirits from beyond reality.
The people of the city, including human music journalist Marko Lee, have been scraping their lives together among the rubble and the horror for two decades now. Recently, Marko met the ork sex worker called "La Diablita" on the streets, who inspired him to write an article about the bunraku. These sex workers are addicted to a digital drug that replaces their memories with whoever they're paid to be.
However, Marko made the mistake of telling La Diablita this. Within the cybernetically enhanced hearing of the ganger named Drainpipe. Now a fellow bunraku, the fallen elf popera star Pera Veneziano, has been charged by the Southside Devil's Playground to "recruit" Marko so that he doesn't reveal their existence to the megacorporations trying to clean up the city. After some resistance on the part of La Diablita, the two managed to arrange an outcall party at Marko's place. A little bit of Novacoke delivered by Metal Dave, a ganger who wears rival colors, pushed along a rather disastrous night. We pick up as a distant, awkward Pera watches Metal Dave attempt to comfort a Diablita who'd been visited by the Virgin of Guadalupe in the wallpaper and Marko hastily dresses in the bathroom. He plans to grab his gun and get out before anyone notices.
Will he succeed? Will La Diablita sabotage Pera's efforts? Come watch and find out at https://plexstorm.com/stream/showusyourcrits# . And if we impress you with the episode, you can help us out with even a dollar a month (that's what, like, two coffees a year?) at https://www.patreon.com/grindhaus_media . If you still have some money left in your budget after that, please consider helping me out, individually, too. I'm the GM and developer of the campaign, as well as an RPG blogger and writer.
