Unnatural Twenty

A flash riot occurred today at the monthly cosplay gathering at the Copenmalm Main Square. As the prizes were being awarded disgruntled non-winzers, dressed as KravOS personnel, stormed the stage and attempted to mock arrest three prizewinners, who were dressed as McWales Cyberrugby players. The ensuing scuffle caused the collapse of the stage and eight injuries, as well as untold damage to various costumes. The situation escalated when actual KravOS personnel who were providing security to Coschamp Nielsson were drawn into the riot. A KravOS spokesbot was characteristically blunt when it stated later that their personnel had done their job and no more. The Northern regional final of Starcraft 4 took place at the EcasinO Golden Pyramid late last night. Despite problems with the elevators the capacity crowd cheered local favorite EzergzeR to victory in a tight match against her long time rival Und1ne. Blizzard announced that next year’s regional finals will be held in the same venue, ...

​EcasinO reported record profits for the month, citing the Cyberrugby WL final match and the Andersson-Perez-Taggart MMA fight as major draws to the Golden Pyramid. A spokesbot revealed that the annual conference of McNations will be held at EcasinO next month, as well as the Northern regional final of Starcraft 4. While major events contribute heavily to footfall, the spokesbot repeated last month's claim that daily rake far outstrips the money made from such events. The bot also revealed that the casino was switching its elevator services from Otis-ESA to S-Kalyay, citing failure to meet response time agreements as the reason. A spokesbot for Otis-ESA spewed the following: The meeting of response targets is paramount to our business, we wish EcasinO well and are confident that we will work with them again in the future. ​ Lavanchy-Grovaloi Media GmbH announced they had acquired a nine hundred and ninety nine year lease on the KFSA tower, vacant for seven years.

(This is the first new report for the game of the Sprawl that I'm running) Nokea announced today that they were shutting down their internal security wing and contracting all their duties to KravOS. The changeover was effective immediately from the announcement on Noweb. A spokesbot for Nokea said that the partnership would allow Nokea to concentrate on their core businesses of research and design, while taking advantage of the expertise and efficiency of KravOS. When asked by @fenr1s what prompted the changeover, the spokebot spewed the following: All outstanding debts will now be collected by KravOS. KravOS is a security firm that formed during the Lever-Heinz War, with personnel from former military and state-sec organisations. They have partnerships with Armani Beretta, LG, and the Vatican Bank. The partnership with Nokea is expected to bolster their communications and cybertech, while providing the latest smart weapons to their personnel. The partnership was denounced a...

I’m beginning to think that two players is the ideal number! I made a forum post on roll20.net a while back about playing D&D Fifth Edition with the Modern Magic rules addon. After some delays we went ahead with the first session last night. One player had dropped out before the first session came around, so there were three of us. I went over some ideas I had come up with, and everyone seemed happy with them. We decided to not name the city we were in, but we decided on dollars for the unit of currency. Another thing I had suggested was that most people in the world are unaware of anything supernatural. The player characters had somehow come into contact with the unexplained. One had been an underground bare knuckle fighter, who ended up fighting an orc. The other was a computer scientist who found messages within random blocks of code. They both had reasons to be at the same nightclub one fateful evening. We had no grid which is how I usually run games, and that seemed to wo...
