Persistent people
Four attributes, eight skills, Natural or Decant birth, finite gear capacity, chrome that costs health to install or remove, and training that survives the run.

The city remembers
Run the job.
Carry the debt.
A machine-run Nevada estate keeps everyone alive at the cheapest acceptable floor. Your crew works above it—in scrip, leverage, equipment, secrets, and names people still trust.

The player contract
The rules settle what happened. Players decide what it meant.
Every action is legal or refused. Every advantage names who pays. Every closed run writes Heat, open Writs, discoveries, reputation, and loss back into the district.
Trust, guilt, mercy, revenge? Na. The machine does not get those.
What is actually in the game
A complete local campaign loop.
Deterministic jobs
One d10 check, visible difficulty, three readable outcomes, six operation stages, and no hidden game-master rescue when a move is illegal.
Shared consequences
Nine connected zones, five world cycles, Heat sweeps, claims, Writs, rumors, and changes that can reach crews who never shared a table.
Leaderless coordination
Ready-state pacing pauses the city for declaration and table talk. Voice is where the crew bargains, warns, lies, and decides.
Brineside / persistent district
Every run ends.
The district does not.

Discord layer not live.
The campaign loop, persistence, operations, economy, chrome, healing, and training are implemented locally. Discord contracts are tested offline; app hosting, OAuth, signed sessions, and live server mapping remain deployment work.
