Running Silent - A Cyberpunk-Fantasy Toolkit

Running Silent is a 16-page collection of oracles, references, random tables and a hex-based minigame intended to help procedurally generate people, places, missions and developments while playing your favorite cyberpunk-fantasy TTRPG.

Big thanks to the members of the Fun City Discord for helping me come up with some ideas for jobs and roles for the Contacts tables. Goblin’s Henchman is the designer of the Hex Flower system used to create the hex flower (redubbed hex "matrix") in this toolkit.

1.1 Update:

Revised to remove some of the copyrighted verbiage from titles, so as not to impinge quite as hard on the IP. Job Generation section expanded with a new Features and Details d100 table. Hex matrix revised after playtesting to replace the central Deus Ex space with a Tension space.

1.2 Update:

Added new Verbs d100 table to Oracles section. Removed the table of difficulty thresholds since it only applied to Shadowrun 6e and the intention of this book is to be system-agnostic. Replaced the cover with artwork by Paduret Dan Cristian in order to replace the original cover that was made with problematic LLM technology. #NoAI
