Sign-up now! Game master: Kevin Dalli CONTEXT OF THE GAME: The cold air of the perpetual northern winter slices through the neon lights of the city districts in the Nordic sprawl. In a future defined by its country sized cities, towering skyscrapers and expansive ruins. The Sprawl is a cyberpunk tabletop RPG where the icy landscapes, littered with remnants of the old world, contrast with glowing cities controlled by omnipotent mega- corporations like Live Corp. You are amongst a team of specialists operating on the fringes of society. This session will be set in the frozen ruins of what was once Umeå. The haunting remnants of Umeå holds secrets for you to discover that could shift the balance of power and are bound to be a stepping stone to achieving your characters goals. MAKE UP YOUR ADVENTURE TOGETHER! You and your team get to choose your place in this high-tech world. Who are you? What is your mission? What makes up the details of this world and how do you fit into it? Perhaps you work for Live Corp, navigating corporate espionage. Maybe you are an academic striving to find answers amidst the chaos. Or perhaps you are rogue outlaws exploiting the cybernetic landscape for your own gains. From bustling overcrowded city districts to desolate wasteland districts, together with the other players, you will decide the adventure and get the chance to immerse yourself in a future where cybernetic enhancements and digital consciousness uploads are common, exploring the ethical implications of advancements in HCI. SIGN UP! Sign-up for one of these two sessions and help shape the future of this neon and chrome-drenched world of tomorrow.https://doodle.com/sign-up-sheet/participate/e9e6effb-b037- 4ae6-8e43-774f6e255745/select Session one Monday October 14th: 19:00-22:00 / Prep session: Sunday October 13th : 13:00-13:30 Session two Tuesday October 15th: 19:00-22:00 / Prep session: Sunday October 13th, 14:00 – 14:30 ------------------- UNCONFERENCE Join our online Unconference session on Monday 19-22!
