It was the worst of times... Itwasa Cyberpunk® kinda time. For twenty years, America has been the land of the fast-gunning, interface-jacked, stee-legged, cyberarmed techno-hero, Good and evil have become mutable concepts, replaced by the realities of expedience, and the soulless will of the megacorporations who have saved Technological Man at the cost of his soul Now the shape of the Dark Future has finally become clear. A new Power rules America: a power bom of the Corporate meritocracy and its lapdog government agencies. It is a Power dedicated to retaining an iton grip on the nation it has created, no matter what it costs; no matter What is destroyed in the process. I is the Incorpo rated States of America—the ISA. Since 2022, there's been a war going on, a war between ISA agents, hired hit squads, goverment troops, Nomad warparties, Netrunner assault groups and black ops teams. The Edgerunners of 2020 have given way to the Guertllas of 2027 ‘once hunters of the Edge, they have become the hunted ‘The Eurocorps have been driven out of the United States by their rebellious U.S. offices. The Gover: ment has returned, forging an unholy alliance with megacorp ties. And David Whindam (once of Biotechnia) is now President of the United States. The ISA's goal is an unarmed, controlled, consum- er America. An America where the megacorps use ‘their economic might to control every market, their ‘government-sponsored “agents to suppress any sign of rebellion, and their hired mediacorp lackeys to control every facet of the truth To the ISA, there can be only One Nation, under Corporate Control, with liberty and justice forthe Chosen Few. But all is not proceeding as planned. A terrifying ‘new plague is sweeping America, Nicknamed the Carbon Death, this nanotech-based mutagenic kills with a frightening selectivity. If you're over twenty ‘and infected, you de. If you're under twenty, you lve Or you—Change. Over ten thousand juvegangers have already been affected: their bodies altered by a process that defies all known science. They have been given new and amazing powers; powers that go beyond any cybertech. They have Evolved. They have become the Cybergeneration. They are a generation ofthe Street; a generation which has raised itself in a world of danger, violence and deception; that has watched its parents sell their souls fora few chunks of cyber- wear and a box of Kibble. And the ISA is rounding them up, hunting them down. Because theyre different. And because the ISA can’t control them. Thistime, the battle won't be for a few extra rounds of ammo and a safe hiding place after the black-op Thistime, the stakes are going to be for realSiyeu wer aw a oe Serenata? Ome ist dos?

Just for a minute. If you're an old Cyberpunk® player, get ready fora shock. You're ‘not gonna find lists of weapons and tables in this book. At least, ‘not yet. We think you've spent too much time calculating the velocity of @ 10mm slug through layered Kevlar We want you to foosen up and roleplay To make sure you do that, we've purposely designed this book to be interactive; to be like @ movie script in which you will be the actors. One of you will read all the written parts that follow; you ccan start with the paragraph below this one. The rest of you will get to react as you think you would in the situation. After a while, you're going to make some decisions that will lead you on a Journey. You'll decide who you really are, and what you'e really like Before you know it you'l be roleplaying forreal. Just lite that. So tum down the lights, and start reading this aloud. In the next six lines, you're going to be dumped into another world, a world some thirty years in the future. You'll be standing ina filthy alley ina cold, neon-lit city of glass and steel. In front of you is the squat, metal form of a Virtuality Terminal—the amazing new technology that projects virtual reality images into everyday life, via the V-trode stuck to your temple. It's the only V-Term stil working for miles around But working or not, its not stopping the acidic rain thats drizling down your back, or the trembling in your legs. You've just run here after being chased out ofa local club by thirty heavily armed goons of the Corporate Security Police—CorpSec, who want to,ound you up for “examination” before shipping you off to oneof the so- called "containment centers” they keep out.in the desert. Ten minutes ago, you were just another punk kid partying down at the local ‘o-club where youwere spotted. Now, as faras you know you're the only “juve"—juvenile— to get past the dragnet. Everyone else is either captured—or dead. Because CorpSec thinks you're infected. With a deadly virus t call the Carbon Death, ‘And you think they're right. ad, your hands are starting to sweat. You think you can see a faint silvery sheen on your palms; the first warning signs of the fection. You think you probably have about ten hours before it really hits, The party's over and your life just got a lot more serious jack. You remember the number you heard from your dying friend, back in the squalid hovel you used to call home, before CorpSec torched it.

Tied of watching the restof the wor li, choot, sca, nd bribe its way down the lng side to Hel, these people have discovered that honoris needed for a cohesive society, and thatthe Machine wont supply then they wl have to oso themselves. Drawing from a varity of sauces, including the code of bushi, a ato ld John Ware movies, and superhero come literate, the Code establish es certain basic rules of conduct between the ‘gangers themsehes and even with the outside word, since honor cannot hve two standard. These ues have often alld the Evlved with yvagangersin their struggle to fight the “Machine and have become one foundation foc the OjberRevlutin.

Nonatheless, fa Yogang seriously or ‘repeated violates oe of these principles, thir rlations With other groups will deteriorate rapidly, andi thay cntinve, they may find themselves hunted by a colton of gangs determined clean their own house. The Code has the following basic principles: 1. Your word is your bond, in whatever form itis ‘given. you make a promise or swear 2 truth, you have to backit up. na hostile word, most ofthe time the yogengs ‘can only count on each ater to get things dane. And if ou can't trust the word ofa fellow ‘gangor, then he isnt worth drek, period. Even outside the yogang, this rule applies, since once you start making promises that you won't keep, itlessens you no matter who you dott. could be CorpSec, or the police, or ust yournanny, Parents usually fll into this category as well. f another ganger has jacked you around, you go to your leader and your yogang eals with. Yogangs take care of their own. If you tum ‘ver for them, the Machine will betray you next Tis clause has saved many Changed who are also yogengers from boing traded for bounties. 3. Money isn't worth blood. Money is the tol ofthe Machine, and if you buy into it, the Machine has its hooks in you. There are more important things than mney, and ‘human ie is one of them. Your word is another, the Earth itself ay be one, too... {to some juves, fun is wort blood, ‘especialy other people's, the Gogangers and Megaviolents being notorious examples ofthis). The few Yagangs that have sold themselves tothe crps have automatically Voided this ethic and are shunned by others because of it Not that they care. 4. You never take from another ‘ganger without ‘giving something back. Reciprocity is a necessary part ‘ot honor. Now, this doesn't mean that you have to give back something of equa value (That would be materialistic fight), but you do ave ta acknowledge the transaction. AS YOU might expect, nt all groups adhere religiously to this particular guideline, but minor infractions are usually forgiven. Some juves also interpret tis for ngative values as well, meaning tha if you are injured by another, you ‘must pay itback. This eye-fr-an-eye ethos has lead to 38 many problems as it may have solved BEFORE YOU PICK YOUR CHARACTER Here's one thing you'll need to consider—how ‘old your characteris (between 7 and 19): You get to pick your age in Chbergeneration, becouse its more fun that way. However, we expect you to play Your age as well. That means playing characters that do things that could reasonably be expected fr that age (0 8 year olds successfully seducing 16 year olds!) There is only one restriction based on age If you're below years old, you cannot ctv any vehicle You're below 12, you can drive, but ata-2to any Goto skill checks. Beyond that, you'r pretty wide open; we let you be stronger than you probably would be at 10 or 11, and we also give you a lt moe freedom as well (we don't force you to relate to your paronts in a particular way).
