I'm opening up recruitment for a new game on the site. Interface Zero 3.0 is a cyberpunk setting for Savage Worlds. It has no fantasy races or magic like some other cyberpunk settings, but it does offer a variety of sci-fi races (androids, human-animal hybrids, genetically enhanced humans and more) and the potential to be psionically gifted.
In IZ 3.0, the Earth has suffered catastrophes both natural and man made, but humanity survived and grew stronger. The Megacorps rose up and seized power, and in some ways they're more powerful than governments. Neither is interested in the comfort or privacy of its respective citizenry. Many escape to space only to find out that freedom can be just as scarce as oxygen out in the void.
Only Texas and the city of Chicago remain from the splintered nations formed from the previous United States. The Reformed United States and its president specifically are eager to make the RUS "whole" by bringing Chicago and Texas into the RUS. Your characters form a team of freelancers operating in the free city of Chicago.
I'm looking to recruit 4-6 players for this game. We have a lot of new folks on the site, so I would like to give them preference for openings. I do want to include some site veterans, however. There will be two slots reserved for veterans and four slots for anyone, but preference for the four slots will be given to new players. If we somehow fill the game up with two veterans and four new guys, I will bite the bullet and open up to two more "overflow" slots strictly for new players. Post here or PM me if you're interested in joining up!
Openings (6/6 + 1(2?)/2 Filled)
- Veteran: Pursuit - Whiskers, Cybered Rodentia Hybrid Hacker
- Veteran: High Command - Black Swan, Bioroid Fixer and generalist

A few notes on Character Creation: characters begin play as Novice characters with one advance. The skills gained from an Origin are added to the character's Core Skills (for a total of 7 instead of the standard 5). Skill specialization is in play, so don't forget about that when you pick your skills. When spending Hindrance points on starting funds, you gain 10,000 not 20,000 extra starting funds. Characters will also begin play with one minor contact as detailed in the Setting Rules post.
