The Ronin’s Guide to the Sprawl, volume 1: Street Cred

Gun Metal Games is pleased to announce the release  of Street Cred, the first in a new line of supplements for the Ronin’s Guide to the Sprawl series!

For characters rep (or Street Cred) is  the most important resource they have. As their influence rises, characters meet more people, get better gigs, and access higher-quality gear. Doors which were previously closed open up for them, leading to greater challenges and bigger paydays. But the streets are unforgiving, omae. Characters can lose Influence just as quickly as  they gained it.

 Suddenly all the toys, the Influencers, the most exclusive Night Clubs; They’re gone like a fast‑fading dream. But tomorrow’s another day. The next job might get them back on track, back in the good graces of those who shunned them. It’s a constant tug of war as they try to do their jobs without sacrificing their code.

 Many fail, but if the characters can succeed without losing their soul, they’ll become legends.

 There are many elements that make up the cyberpunk genre, and no single sourcebook can cover them all.  For this reason, we introduce a series of smaller game supplements collectively known as The Ronin’s Guide to the Sprawl. This series takes a look at various aspects of both Interface Zero, and  the cyberpunk genre as a whole.

The first supplement in this series deals with Street Cred. It is designed to help you make the most of your character’s reputation by introducing new ways they can use it during the course of the game.

 In this book you’ll find:

 A revamped reputation system fueled by a simple point-based system that focuses on Role-Play rather than dice rolls.

• Influence Paths that help you fine tune your character’s personal philosophy, their motivations, their code of conduct, and the kinds of people they are likely to work with.
• A template system you can use to develop memorable contacts with their own motivations and codes of conduct.
• Finaly a simple tier based system you can use to track your character’s rise (or fall) in the unforgiving eyes of the streets.
