re.SERIALIZED, or how to add a campaign mode to an RPG designed to be a one-shot game

 In a previous post I wrote about CBR+PNK and some of my ideas for hacks and addons for it. At that time I talked a little bit about a "campaign mode". I also wrote about they totally unnecessary need for a longform mode for a game that is specifically designed to accommodate one-shots. The whole gist of CBR+PNK is, after all, that you are on YOUR LAST RUN.

Having said that, I feel like the game is a very solid framework for Cyberpunk Edgerunners doing missions ala Shadowrun style, and a serialized format works well with that sub-genre.
