I recently purchased a copy of Apex Singularity from Lulu, and I couldn't be more pleased. This densely-written heist perfectly captures the essence of cyberpunk and pushes the boundaries of CY_BORG with an innovative system in which the infiltrating PCs request outside help from hackers. It's also filled with thematically-appropriate double-dealing and potential intra-party backstabbing. Perhaps best of all, I have no idea where my players will take this thing. Hexagnome provided me with a digital copy since I bought physical, and the digital includes some innovative player aids that should make running it easier. If a player gets screwed over by a mate, remember: "It's just business, baby..."
Thanks for your kind words! I've playtested this 3 times, and every time the party's dynamics and endings were wildly different! Even when the party sticked together, they had choices to consider that inspired great gameplay :)
