Season One: Dark Clouds Gathering

It is early in the year 2056. Magic and technology exist side by side in the Fort Worth/Dallas sprawl. Megacorporations and nations rule with equal power in a gritty cyberpunk future. Years ago, Texas (along with nine other southern states) left the United Canadian and American States to forge their own destiny. The players are many in this confederacy: governments, corporations, secret societies, and organizations. In this, the largest metroplex in North America, these players use people as pawns. When something unsavory or illegal has to be done, these players call upon shadowrunners.

Disclaimer: Beware SPOILERS for various Shadowrun modules and sourcebooks.

  Our Heroes are hired to investigate the murders of five Tandy Corp executives during the worst riots Dallas has seen in years. During their investigation, they stumble across a plot to take over the Sprawl's law enforcement contract.

  Yeah, but that and the riots were tied into those BTL chips, remember?

  It's better than some of the other crap VoxCSA puts out.
