The Original Dustbowl Cyberpunk Series
We’re on hiatus to spread some support for those devastated by Hurricane Helene. This week we’re featuring three organizations providing aid to the victims of Hurricane Helene. We’re strongest when we work together! Operation Airdrop https://www.operation-airdrop.com/hurricane-helene Airlifting crucial supplies and equipment to areas cut off from the outside world. CERF+ (Craft Emergency Relief Fund) https://cerfplus.org/… Continue reading Hiatus – Helping Hands
Secret passphrases! A compound full of nervous, armed civilians! Just another stormy night in Outer Trinity! The Cult of Redemption is not recognized as an actual religion by Inner Trinity, but its presence is tolerated for its usefulness. The religious sect acts as a clearinghouse of sorts for salvaged items from Pre-Withering ruins. Preaching redemption… Continue reading Ep. 4 Act 3 Page 12: Redemption Gate
Hey kid, wanna join a cult? The Cult of Redemption (or as they prefer to be called, the Blessed Community of Redeemers) recruits from those struggling in and around Trinity. Given the marginal existence of most Outer Trinity residents, there’s a steady stream of potential inductees looking for a warm meal and some stability.

Get caught up on… Continue reading Ep. 4 Act 3 Page 14: Benny
What we do next, for all that we care for, is more crucial than ever. Take care, friends. (Yes, the page was intentionally left blank. We were not in a good place when we posted this, the day after the 2024 US Elections. Apologies for the confusion, and also the rapidly encroaching fascism.)
Ritch and Julian get a warm welcome from Benny and the rest of the meeting attendees. The question of how they escaped leads to some slightly awkward introductions! We’re back. We’re angry, sad, and committed to doing what we can, but we’re back. Stories about people doing their best in dangerous worlds seem awfully relevant… Continue reading Ep. 4 Act 3 Page 15: Unification
Don’t you just hate it when the strange people you just met *also* have pressing problems, and now they’re also somehow your pressing problems? Given the low reliability and patchwork nature of Outer Trinity’s power grid, many larger buildings in the outer city have dedicated battery banks to tide them over during outages. Sometimes they’re… Continue reading Ep. 4 Act 3 Page 16: Par For The Course

The power’s out, Julian is panicking, and Markesha has an idea on how to fix the situation. Orson might not be 100% on board, but that’s not going to slow her down. Due to fears of another outbreak of the Withering virus, Trinity has banned the cultivation of vegetation of any kind in its sphere… Continue reading Ep. 4 Act 3 Page 17: Alternative Power
