Machine: Impossible
You're In Love With This City.
Despite the crime. Despite the inequality. Despite the corruption. You still love this place. There’s something special here that the powers that be haven’t been able to snuff out yet. And they never will. Because each time they try - you stop them. You and your crew have the brains, the brawn, and - most of all - the heart it takes to keep throwing wrenches into the plans of the rich and powerful trying their best to own everything.
This is Machine: Impossible - the tabletop role-playing game about cyberpunk superspies putting everything on the line to save the city they love from the corrupt, greedy, and cruel organizations hell-bent on ruining it. In this book you’ll find rules for how to build a city that feels like its own character, with compelling villainous organizations to thwart. We’ll go over how to build your characters and customize their cyborg enhancements. Lastly, we’ll explain how going on missions works and offer plenty of guidance for people who are trying to run a game of Machine: Impossible for their friends.
