Based on hundreds of hours of professional workshops, Improv for Gamers provides fun and easy exercises designed to take your tabletop or live-action gaming group to the next level.

Christian & crew continue our Inner System Blues cyberpunk game in the 2400 system. In Inner System Blues part III, the NULL crew of KIT, BECCA, ThinkBot, and Victor finally get aboard the giant burning out-of-control car carrier ship they’re tasked with burgling. As usual, their entry plan works perfectly, and then things start going elliptical. A tragic subplot of romantically entangled robots is revealed. What qualifies as the coolest car is extensively debated. And someone gets shot.

Can the gang break out of the trap at Arasaki Geo Tech industrial park? Christian & company continue our Inner System Blues cyberpunk game series in the 2400 system. Having raised the alarm on the industrial park break-in last time, Victor, BECCA, and Thinkbot need to think fast and find a way out of cages, armed guards, and flying drones. Will a run of natural-1’s seal their fate? Plus: existential cyber-dilemmas (to backup or not to backup), and folks who are possibly a bit too into robots.
