Playing it safe isn’t working anymore;
you’re not going to get out of this clean.
You have illicit tech and the talent to use
it. Time to go shake the city and see what
falls out. You’ll get hurt, sure, but what
kind of pain will you deal out?
Technoir
is a roleplaying game. You play
protagonists like cyber-tweaked couriers,
hard-nosed investigators, and drugged-
out hackers making opportunities for
themselves in a despairing world. Using a
rules-light system with enough intricacies
to spark new fires of hardboiled crime
novels and cyberpunk science fiction,
Technoir
lets you coax, hack, fight, prowl,
and shoot your way through a dark future.
It features Transmissions—city guides
brimming with plot nodes to inspire your
high-tech adventures—that the GM uses to
create tangled and compelling plot webs
that expand and evolve as the players’
characters engage it.
