D10: Night City Rumours – City Centre
10 Hooks and Rumours for Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0.’s Night City
This list has ten hooks and rumours that can be heard in or about the City Centre district of Night City. Whether or not they are true is up to the GameMaster. They can be used as background colour or as potential adventure hooks.
- Fantasy Unlimited in the city centre is a business that helps their clients’ fantasies come true, through their network of contacts. Some claim that Fantasy Unlimited will make any dream come true, no matter what it is, but it’s rumoured that those who’ve believed that and have tried to ask for something like that have either wound up getting an unexpected visit from the NCPD or have simply disappeared.
- Grandmill in the City Centre is the place for people with too much money to burn to shop, where they can find things to suit even the most jaded tastes. And rumour has it, that anything means just that; anything. It’s said that those in the know can buy things that are definitely illegal and often horrendous in nature.
- La Croix in the City Centre is considered to be the most trendy restaurant in Night City. At least by the trendy magazines. The food and service are, however, excellent, though this doesn’t tend to draw in non-trendy clientele. Rumour has it that the owner, Jaqueline duBenalle, has extensive contacts with journalists working for the trendy magazines to ensure her restaurant always remains on the list of trendy places to eat.
- Mbole Ebunike, the mayor of Night City, has grown tired of being a toady for the corporations. In turn, the corporations have grown tired of the man they groomed for office behaving as if he had a will of his own. Ebunike is usually unavailable these days, even when in his office, and it’s rumoured that he now has a second office elsewhere after his security had to deal with visitors who were not so much irate as paid assassins.
- Night City City Hall is in the City Centre is a bustling place filled with all sorts of lobbyists, corps, execs, government employees and special interest groups. This abundance of people with power, or who are close to those who have power, means that there is a lot of, to the right people, valuable information floating around. Despite City Hall’s security, there are rumours that information still manages to be acquired from it, and some wonder if it’s that same security acquiring it.
- Night City Museum in the City Centre has a collection with a lot of valuable items in it. The more valuable the item, the more likely it is to be found in the underground areas which have tighter security. There are rumours, though, that sometimes-valuable items end up being placed in the upper areas, and then stolen, suggesting perhaps that someone who works for the museum is deliberately placing valuable items where they, or a partner, can steal them.
- The Del Cornanado Bay Journal, based in the City Centre, is the home of an old-fashioned newspaper and a source of unbiased news. It’s rumoured that the paper has been looking into increasing security recently, as some are objecting to the unbiased approach and are suggesting it would be in everyone’s best interests, and particularly those who work at the paper, to add an element of bias.
- The NCART City Center Station has a lot of juviegangers that avoid doing anything technically illegal when they are dealing with clients, and the fact that these clients are usually wealthy means that the Transit Police rarely crack down on them. It’s rumoured that some of the Transit Police are actively involved with the juviegangers, taking a cut of everything they make in exchange for a guarantee they will never get into trouble.
- There have been attacks on a number of vehicles belonging to the Revere Courier Service recently, and these have always taken place in the City Centre, despite the district and the company’s precautions. Some think these attacks aren’t designed so much to rob the company as to make people start to think their service is not as safe as it could be.
- Totentanz is a club in the top three floors of Burleson Tower in the City Centre, and it’s one where a lot of boostergang members go, and some don’t come back out again due to the patrons getting rowdy. The NCPD lets the club stay open because, for one thing, it cuts down on the numbers of punks on the streets. Rumour has it that the NCPD secretly encourages the violence that happens at Totentanz, ensuring the gangs keep on killing each other.

Samen’s Way

Winter Gate

- A visitor is wandering the district lost and confused and asking for help, disoriented by the area’s effects.
- The route ahead seems to shift, blur and change, as if it is constantly moving and altering its destination.

East District
