INTRODUCTION TEXT:

Welcome back to Night City Secrets.

The podcast of five gaming friends playing the tabletop RPG Cyberpunk 2020.\\xa0\\xa0

This is part three, the final part, of gaming session 6, which means we are on Episode 11.

So we\\u2019ve started to turn the tables.\\xa0 Got some gear, some new equipment, walking into an interview to play our story through the media, maybe we\\u2019re getting some mojo back.

If things appear to be going well, then you\\u2019re probably not watching your six.

Let\\u2019s see if we\\u2019re on the right track, or if we\\u2019re just continuing to dig our own graves.

Also -- send us a note at nightcitysecrets at GMAIL dot COM, leave us a review, we\\u2019d love to hear from you.\\xa0 We\\u2019d love to hear your criticisms, advice, and your insults.\\xa0 We can handle it!

CLOSING NOTES:

We made it!\\xa0 Everyone is alive.\\xa0 The REF certainly has us all walking on eggshells at this point.

I have never felt so strung along\\u2026

Just when we were expecting a storm, we got the eye.\\xa0 I\\u2019m not sure if we\\u2019re growing as role-players, or if we\\u2019re just growing more paranoid.\\xa0 Pretty sure we\\u2019re just playthings at this point.

Tune in next time to see how he gets us out of this shell and we start trying to go on the offensive against Petrochem and Eric Genter.

Fricking Genter\\u2026
