I've been wanting to play CY_Borg for a while, following on from our run through Mork Borg last year. This is very much grimdark cyberpunk rather than dark fantasy, and all the genre staples are present and correct - cyberdecks, body mods, drugs, mirror shades and oodles of ultra violence.
Our band of misfit punks, hackers, goons and mechanics took a contract to repo a set of cyberlegs from a top Deathsports star. We blagged our way into the high rise arcology where he lived and endured 80 floors of elevator music on the way up. We used a nano swarm to scope out the situation, finding out there was some sort of party in progress. We had to check our heavy weapons at the door, so I helpfully left my set of vintage grenades, rigged for remote detonation.
Inside, things rapidly went from weird to gruesome as we engineered a fight, blew stuff up and did a bit of amateur surgery to recover our objective.
Cy_Borg is an excellent system - not quite as immediately deadly as Mork Borg, and with a fair bit of agency for player characters with various cool abilities (and massive debts or obligations to shady characters).
Will definitely play more of this!
