Cyberpunk 2020 - The Chrome Berets (B Grade) (Genbrug)

The Chrome Berets - Cyberpunk 2020

They call it Low Intensity Conflict. The classic example was Vietnam. Lead is flying in some exquisite corner of hell, and the Big Suits want to make sure their side comes out on top. however, they certainly aren't going to put the National Image on the line. They aren't going to bring out the Big Bombs. No, they fob the war off on grunts like you, people with the chrome to do the job and the good taste not to technically exist.

This campaign book is an exciting new approach to CYBERPUNK 2020 adventures by Atlas Games. The format encompasses a tough, no-holds-barred scenario that will challenge any player group's roleplaying and tactical skills; plus a wealth of valuable new game material that may be applied to any Cyberpunk campaign.

The PCs are hired to be mercenary commanders in a full-blown Third World conflict. At stake are the interests of entrenched oligarchs, military strongmen, revolutionary zealots, and big corporations. The cyberpunks get the opportunity to shape war and history in the 21st century.

The Chrome Berets features:

• Complete background on the Malagay Islands, a young pacific republic writhing under the twin hells of oppression and revolution. Isn't a tropical vacation just the thing for cyberpunks who've had too much of the big city?
• Dozens of non-player characters -- dubious allies, formidable foes, self-interested politicians, and unscrupulous middlemen -- who will interact with the player characters.
• An outline of plots, events, and NPC interests that gives the Referee all the information she needs, while judiciously avoiding a prescription of linear adventure. The characters' very goals, to say nothing of the story's resolution, are completely flexible. 
• KILL OR BE KILLED: a mass-combat system for the Cyberpunk game. It's suitable for large-scale operations that the Friday Night Firefight system in the rulebook can't very well cover.
• New military hardware that your cyberpunks may put into action on the island -- maybe even bring home afterward. This source material could be used for any Cyberpunk campaign, anywhere in the world.
