Technoir RPG - The Singapore Sling One-Shot

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?

In Technoir 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 hard-boiled crime novels and cyberpunk science fiction, Technoir lets you coax, hack, fight, prowl, and shoot your way through a dark future.

The Singapore Sling

TECHNOLOGY
The world’s busiest port for over a century, Singapore’s heavily automated docks handle millions of containers of global cargo daily. The area’s port facilities, convenient equatorial location, pliable government, and abundant refugee workers make it the perfect place for The Zenith Group to build The Sling—a 50km-long railgun capable of launching cargo into orbit.

ENVIRONMENT
Located at the equatorial tip of the Malay peninsula, Singapore has largely escaped the global warming-fueled tropical storms ravaging the region. Climate change has only worsened the region’s brutal heat, however: the wealthy use sealed underground transit and air-conditioned vehicles to move between their arcologies, avoiding the crowded and steaming streets. Near-constant rain makes for lush and fertile parks, greenhouses, and rooftop gardens; everything but food is imported.

SOCIETY
Singapore is a profoundly stratified city. The corporate executives and wealthy citizens of The Upper Crust ape neo-Victorian fashions and indulge their darker vices behind the tinted windows of their towering arcologies. Ordinary citizens of the city fiercely compete for money and status: failure to pay yearly taxes means permanent eviction. Patrolled walls separate the city from the docks: entering without a Citplant or temporary visa is a capital crime.
