It's just living up to their part of the deal: if I'm going to get the dystopia part, I damn well better also get the cyberpunk part.

I prefer the chummer variety of future cyberpunk-y dystopia.

It has dragons!

Sure, but at least they're cool oligarchs?

Like, I'd go have a beer with Lofwyr, even though you totally know you'd end up being eaten.

But like, Elon Musk? Fuck that, I'd rather stay home.

No no, the worst thing would be having a beer with Lofwyr and everything seems totally normal after.

S-K is my favorite Corp to build stories around because it's so incredibly easy to make lore-aware players incredibly paranoid.

Indeed.

And, unfortunately for you, Lofwyr isn't a dragon that would do that just to screw with you and enjoy laughing at you spending the rest of your life looking over your shoulder.
