Game #8 planning weekend

Game #8 planning weekend

Most of Team Nova got together and planned things out somewhat for the game this weekend. We're still 48 weeks from the event and we actually started planning back in June over a year in advance but one thing we as a group have actually been good at is "little and often" planning to deliver the previous games.

This is our first full weekend event and our tendency to create more content than the players can realistically tackle, with redundant jobs/threads, means there's going to be a lot of stuff in the pot. This small wall of post-its is the first run at a high level "things that need to get done", to which more will be added.

Weekend event 2026

Following game #7 at Dropzone 2025, we're proud to announce that Cyberpunk: A Life on the Edge will be returning for a full weekend October 2-4 2026.

This will be our first full weekend and we're looking forward to using this new format to tell a more self-contained story.

Game #7 - WarCrimes must die!

WarCrimes must die!

Still with nowhere to work from safely, with the help of some infiltration by Spike, the Operators took over a Maelstrom RipperDoc as a base to work from.

They needed cash too, so Orphan and Medusa finally pulled off the Bank Job they’ve been planning for some time, with a little help from one-person celebrity distraction squad, GoGo.

With Eddies in their pocket and refreshed thanks to the gear stolen from Maelstrom they plotted their revenge.

A motley crew of allies were recruited for the fight with Maelstrom. Blackbeard’s Boys, who already had beef with them were eager to act as a distraction. Then The Faceless agreed to do the same, for a price, which most of the Operators have yet to ask about.

Most unlikely of all, The Inquisition told The Operators how to disrupt Maelstrom's comms when the time was right so WarCrimes couldn't call for aid. A targeted strike on the Social Platform Free.me was carried out, again with the help of one of its stars, the ever so distracting GoGo.

WarCrimes' ace card, his SpeedWare, ended up being his downfall. A raid on a Militech compound allowed them to use its tracking ID and the Operators waited until he was back within their reach to strike.

Now the Cybar is reclaimed and Adam back in charge but needs to be rebuilt, better than ever!

Even with all this going on, our more Corporate players had dealings with Carlos DeVega and found he was responsible for the awful fate of Emma Pendleton: she is now a mental slave in one of DeVega's drones-for-hire. Though they have never met her, some of the Operators have sworn bloody revenge for this.
