The year is 2034.

Technological progress only picked up its frantic pace established at the end
of the 20th century. Several nations are now competing for access to the
rich natural deposits in Arctic, among others the newly constituted Polish
Commonwealth. Some say there is something dark lurking below the ice...
You came to Prague, regional center in the Commonwealth, to start another
chapter in your life. But... who are you, anyways?
Distribute 17 or 13+2d4 (average 18) points among stats and perks. Invest

The goal of the game is to survive as long as you can.

The game is paced in turns, every turn covering roughly one week of game
time. Each turn:
- restore 1 Sta to each character
- pick a mission card
- randomly select (roll 1d8) an event card
After successfully completing at least six missions, pick the Arctic resource rush
mission card.

Character

You can create your own character, or select from the default ones in the
Characters page. Each character starts with solid Sanity, which will inevitably
deteriorate throughout the game. Stats cannot exceed the starting values.
Characters will die if any of their respective stats drop to zero.
Character with lower than passable stamina will recieve a penalty to all checks
and roll results. This penalty is -1 if you have weak Sta, and -2 if your Sta is
poor.

Equipment

Every character may choose one weapon for free. Characters may own two
weapons, the second one costs one point to purchase. When calculating
Equipment bonus (EqB), use the armament which gives you the best result.
Note that if your Sta drops below weapon effective use threshold, you are no
longer able to use that weapon.

Party

At the start of the game, recruit two additional characters to form a party. Every
time a character dies sanity of everyone else in the party drops by 1.

Events & missions

Main difference between event card and mission card is you can choose the
missions, but have to randomly select the events. Sometimes there will be suggestions and unanswered questions on the cards. These serve to enrich the
story.

Rules & Timeline

cont. from the previous page
Every mission consists of several situations. There are three types of situations:
Skirmish, Infiltration and Cyberspace. For every situation there is a special
dice assigned to it.

In order to complete a mission, you have to successfully resolve all the mission
situations. If your party fails at even one situation (score -6 or lower), the whole
mission ends with failure. Every situation does have a difficulty rating assigned
to it. For example
Infiltration 13
means the party has to resolve an Infiltration situation with a difficulty rating
of 13. The Resolution table will tell how well did your party perform - and how
much Sta did your characters lost.
Lets say your party consists of Markta,
Resolution scores
Rbert and Vra (taken from the Characters
Stamina loss
page) and they are facing the above InfiltraSkirmish

tion 13 situation. Every character rolls the In- -10 1d6, 1d4+2 1d4, 1d4-2
filtration dice.
-9 1d6, 1d4+1 1d4, 1
Markta rolls 4, which is Int+EqB. Her Intelli- -8 1d4, 1d4+1 1d4
gence is excellent and her Equipment bonus -7 1d4, 1d4
1d4
is -1. That makes a total of 4.
2-1, 1
-6 1d4, 2-1
Rbert rolls 6, which is Sta+Per. Both his -5 1d4-1, 2-1 1, 1
Stamina and Perception are solid. That -4 1d4-1, 2-1 1

makes a total of 8.
-3 2-1, 1
Vra rolls 5, which is (Per+Int)/2. Her Per- -2 1
ception is excellent and her Intelligence is -1 1
0 0
solid. (5+4)/2=4,5.

Total for all characters is 4+8+4,5=16,5

rounded 17.
Look at the Resolution score table tells us they surpassed the difficulty by 4 points
(17-13). Nobody is injured.
If, for example, the Resolution score were -10, not only would the party fail the
whole mission, two randomly selected characters would lose 1d4 and 1d4-2 Sta,
respectively.
After completing the situation, carry over the resolution score and subtract it
from/add it to the next situation difficulty score.
After completing Infiltration 13 with score 4, our party faces Skirmish 16. Party
will lower the difficulty of this situation by 4, so the difficulty is now only 10.
Mission will be rewarded depending on the resolution score of the last situation.
Details are on every mission resolution card.
Note: Cyberspace situations are allowed to be resolved only by one character.

Final score

Write down the final resolution scores of every completed mission. They will be
used to calculate the final game score. Guidelines are at the bottom of page 9.

She is professional and dedicated,
but has trouble following orders she
doesnt like. Perhaps thats the main
reason she likes to order others instead. Despite her great field results
locals dont readily accept her as

CE-101 Morpheus

2 points
The original neurochip manufactured
by Metacortex has been jailbroken a
few days after its release. There are
numerous patches and mods available online with varying price, usefulness and functionality ranging
from simple HUD modifications to
the infamous overclock option. Unlike in the US, the ownership of neurochip with non-proprietary software
is legal in the Commonwealth.
+1 EqB in Cyberspace

Celaskon

1 point
Celaskon which you can get in pharmacies is quite different from the
homemade remedy runners use.
The first is just vitamin C, the other
several vitamins mixed with aspirin,
methamphetamine and a pinch of
morphine. This concoction is used
as a stimulant and, most importantly,
painkiller.
A few hours after use, treat all your
Sta wounds as if they were reduced
by 2. No longer works if Sta drops
to poor. Frequent use can cause lowering of effectiveness and addiction.

Kevlar vest

2 points
In order to wear user has to have at
least weak Sta.
This sturdy vest provides body
protection against weak-energy
shrapnels and bullets. It is quite
bulky and restricting though.
While wearing, reduce all Resolution
score stamina loss by one point. Also
reduce all Skirmish and Infiltration
dice roll results with Per component
by one point.

FB 92 Biedronka
Biedronka is the newest Fabryka
Broni pistol, used both by the army
and the police forces. It is reliable
and packs quite a punch, making it
a good backup weapon in case user
is unable to use heavier armaments.

CZ 644

TST ChemRail

Requires at least solid Sta for effective use.

The modular trend established in the 10s continues to hold. esk zbrojovka,
the prime arms manufacturer for the Commonwealth, recently developed the
644, which is a multipurpose rifle able to fullfill several roles after quick reconfiguration. Pictured is assault configuration using 5.56 NATO rounds with both
optical and smartlink targeting system.
+1 EqB in Skirmish and Infiltration

Requires at least solid Sta for effective use.

In 1986, the US Army infantry school had published a report asserting that the
rifle, as a weapon, had already reached its peak. This held true until 2033, the
year Chemrail has been introduced. This weapon uses two stages (first chemical
propellant, then electro magnetic rail) to produce high-velocity shots capable
of ripping through the walls.
+2 EqB in Skirmish

SAKO TRG-23 AMA

Ultima AuG-DEF

Designed to be fired from the prone position. Situational use.

Finnish concern SAKO in collaboration with Czech ammo producer Sellier &
Bellot recently developed the TRG-23 anti-materiel rifle. Rifle is standardly used
with simple scopes to counter possible active defense systems.
-2 EqB in Skirmish and Infiltration

Requires at least formidable Sta and installed neurochip for effective use.
This 40mm cannon is designed primarily for robotic assault chassis usage or
vehicle pintle mount. Underslung and exo-frame protected multi-spectrum

resolution scores, bonus +2 applicable if someone in party has Corporate
etiquette. If the score is 5 or higher, you discovered a few people sniffing
around. If the score is 7 or higher, these people werent even allowed inside
the building.
Turn two:
Your cyberspace specialist says there is something wrong about the network,
but she was unable to trace it so far. Later in the week the building comes
under attack by a considerable force of hired goons.
Skirmish (24 - turn one resolutions)
or
Skirmish (21 - turn one resolutions)
if the sniffers werent allowed inside the building.
It takes some time for the polis reinforcements to arrive. If you werent able to
discover the sniffers, your network crashes and contacting Zud will be much
harder. Take another
Skirmish (24 + penalty - turn one resolutions)
Penalty is +2 if you discovered the sniffers in the building or +6 if you had no
idea they were messing around. From this point on, you have the option to
take either
Skirmish 15, Skirmish 14
or
Skirmish 16, Skirmish 14, Skirmish 17
if your network crashed
or
Infiltration 13
if you want to bail out of the building.
The attackers wont accept surrender. You have to take the Infiltration check
anytime you want to retreat, otherwise you have to continue taking the Skirmish checks (even if the resolution score on these checks will be lower then
-5). If you fail at the Infiltration check you have to take at least one Skirmish
check before being able to retry.
Mission outcome:
After completing the Infiltration check with at least -5 resolution score, your
party was able to escape, but the attackers gained control of the building.
After completing the Skirmish rolls with at least -5 resolution score, the polis
reinforcements arrive and the attackers are repelled.
In either case, your cyberspace specialist loses one San and is unwilling to
work any more in the building. You terminate the contract.
The attackers were using some kind of experimental pistol, its effects resembling the ChemRail. The polis will try to reverse-engineer it. You grab one
piece and are on your way.

The monastery is guarded by hooded men who are very selective in letting
people in. You set yourselves up in a nearby caf trying to observe the
monastery without raising suspicion. Make a
Infiltration 15 + penalty (no carryover, no Sta loss)
check, penalty +4 if you came armed. If the resolution score is -1 or lower, your
cover has been blown and a direct attack seems like the only option now. You
can try to recruit help from among the community
Commanders Int + Per + 1d3 + bonus
(the score has to be at least 13 to be successful, carry over anything exceeding
13, bonus +1 if someone is Socialite or Academic) and then assault the
monastery;
Skirmish 22
Note that if you succeeded in the recruitment roll you are unable to use the
secondary weapons as you lended them.
If you didnt raise any suspicion you infiltrate the monastery;
Infiltration 18, Skirmish 16
Inside there indeed are captives, several of them already dead. After killing the
cultists you torch the whole property.
As you are standing in front of the monastery, watching the fire eating
away the putrid place, a strange sentiment fills you. Two randomly selected
characters may restore 1 San each.

GV 858
Available after succesfully
repelling the attackers.
No Sta requirements
+1 EqB in Skirmish
+2 EqB in Infiltration

Getting even
Vlasta flips a bunch of papers on the table. She is visibly upset. I knew it
wasnt an accident. Now I have a proof and a name. Im going to make her
suffer. Are you in?
The person in question is Kitti Tihnyi, the executive manager of Sarif East.
Vlasta has been working relentlessly, the ghost of her sister whispering to her,
hungering for revenge.
The plan is to borrow a car
Cyberspace 10
grab Kitti as she is leaving the office
Skirmish 18
then drive her to the outskirts of the city.
Infiltration 18
Vlasta will then manage the rest.
Mission outcome:
Vlasta torched the hijacked car. Only she knows whether Tihnyi was still inside. The ride back is silent. Nothing needs to be said.

Vlasta torched the hijacked car. Only she knows whether Tihnyi was still inside. The ride back is silent. Nothing needs to be said. Vlasta is looking through
the side window, smiling.

Arctic resource rush

You arrive in the principal seaport Gdask.

After a little bit of convincing, you are allowed to board a cargo ship, your
weapons securely locked in the captains cabin. Destination: Belushya Guba,
located in Novaya Zemlya. Technically under Moscows control, de facto a
corporate-ruled international hub.
The atmosphere on the ship is becoming claustrophobic fast. People are
growing cold and distant. On the seventh day one of the crewmembers
assaults the captain. He is placed under watch and the second-in-command
takes up the captains duties.

Final score:

Add up the resolution scores of all the missions you went through. Add one
point for every remaining San points of your partymembers. Finally, add one
point for each achievement listed below:

lorem

A Bit Closer to Heaven: Recognized the Max Payne references.

Plains of Xoroth: Recognized the vanilla WoW quote.
No contempt for the False Gods: Accepted the Blessing of the Old One and
didnt pick up The blood of fallen angels mission card.

Inventio Fortunata

You pass the time studying the ancient manuscript, carefully flipping through
the nearly-crumbling pages. The book describes the travels of Franciscan friar
from Oxford who made several trips in the North Atlantic region conducting
business on the behalf of the King of England.
Most of the contents are illegible. There is an illustration of what seems to be
a strange entity accompanied by single word, malum. This word can be found
on several pages of the book.
You dont feel well. You put the book back on the shelf and head outside.
