Summary

In the revolutionary dystopian RPG originally published in 1988 by Mike Pondsmith and R Talsorian Games, CYBERPUNK (various, from TTRPG to anime to FPShooter) explores the edges of humanity, capitalism, and personal frailty amongst a neon backdrop of acid rain, body-altering cyberware, and techno-wizardry. No characters personify the monstrous alienation of this world more deliciously than MAELSTROM, a gang of cyber-maniacs that take de-humanization and self mutilation not as eventual goal, but stepping-stone for entry into their bloody, maniacal cabal. Whether it's selling morbid "better-than-life" hallucination chips or dealing in zero-nutrition insect "food stuffs" through their ALL FOODS front, MAELSTROM is a bleeding chrome tooth in the manicured aesthetic of NIGHT CITY'S cosmopolitan facade.
