Narrative Hooks and the Third Campaign

February 2026·pp. 45–47

THE SHORT VERSION

The sequel campaign replaces the captured Goliath leader and sends the gangs hunting abandoned Ghast stores, while beloved old characters can return as hired guns. For the next season Dan plans a contracts board and a game-master role. Everyday scenery details, dispensers, terminals and a dubious doctor become opportunities for interactive objectives and unexpected encounters.

Tales from the Underhive

Dan recounts two campaigns fought by a twelve-player group in the industrial district of Near Steel. What begins as a chance to resume face-to-face gaming develops into a struggle over stimms, Ghast and fortified trade gates. Accidental deaths, notorious champions, player-made scenery and a deliberately story-driven finale show how the shared narrative becomes more memorable than a simple league table.

The Cybercanids — House Goliath

Dan’s gang becomes a collection of memorable survivors and casualties rather than an optimised roster. Street Peanut gains an unfortunate reputation for falling over, a repeatedly injured ganger barely moves at all, and even low-ranking fighters acquire stories that carry significance into later campaigns.

The Outrunners — Hive Enforcers

Paul’s retro science-fiction Enforcers use opposed fluorescent lighting effects to suggest a neon-lit underhive. Their campaign history is less immaculate than their law-enforcement image: one sniper loses an eye immediately, while a flash grenade rebounds into its own squad. The gang eventually brings Dan’s notorious leader to justice.
