Six Pack - Netrunner and Techie shops

 


Been a while since I've cracked open a new six pack. So today I'm giving you one out of the Cyberpunk vein of things. So here are six tailored for a couple of specific class/role types.  


Six shops of interest for Techies and Netrunners


1 –The Glitch Shop. Sellers of overstock and returned high tech items. Malfunctioning cyberdecks, tech scanners with bad ports, last years IR goggles that were massively over produced. All sorts of stuff like that. A parts persons dream location.

2 – The Scrapyard Circuit. Resellers of trashed out, repossessed or out of date cyberware. There is no warranty or guarantee for anything here. Buyer beware. But damn you can find that new arm to fix your busted up one if you dig enough.

3 – Bucket of Bytes. Nothing but wall to wall cabinets full of drawers filled with chips. Sometimes the owner knows what he has, sometimes not. But just digging through all the files you may find some gold buried under all the probably junk and malware.

4 – Obsolete and Obscure Tech Exchange (usually just abbreviated OOTE). This is a chain that buys and sells outdated and obscure technology. Much of it has actually gone through a decent virus scan. But when it comes to finding old screens, out of production interface cables and anything else that’s hard to find, this is the place to look.

5 – The New Edge. This is basically a glorified mall store. But they do stock all the latest tools and technology on the commercial market. Even has a decent clearance bin when things sit on the shelves to long. If it’s brand new chances are they have it. Techies shop here often.

6 – Synaptic Drift. The latest in netrunning programs and gear. They also offer a repair service that is 24/7 but at a pretty steep cost. You will not be let down by what they stock, there are no beginner decks in this place.
