Charlotte Rampling on the set of "Rotten to the core", 1965.

Rotten to the Core (1990) is the last 2300AD supplement. It is primarily a sourcebook detailing Libreville, the city in Gabon, Africa (in 2300, part of the French empire) where the space elevator, amusingly referred to as the “Beanstalk” is anchored. Naturally, this sort of aperture to the stars is going to encourage a lot of power, money and corruption, making it an excellent venue for cyberpunk. I will say, despite a lot of reasonably realistic things going on in this book, it is weirdly white for a city in Africa, even allowing for the colonial imperialism of the French empire and the probable riptide-like currents of gentrification that would beset a place like Libreville.

Anyway, if you take your expectations for a cyberpunk city, dial all the tech to “plausible” and make sure to check every box established by the sub-genre (including having Tim Bradstreet do some art for you), then you’ll pretty much have Libreville. It is kind of weird having something so early in cyberpunk’s lifespan also be so by the numbers, but there you have it. And that isn’t a bad thing! It is just…an obvious thing. Rotten to the Core is not subtle.

The included adventure may as well be a short story by Billiam Hibson. There’s corporate secrets, dark doings, stolen tech, betrayal, violence, all wrapped in that chrome package. There’s a guy named Steel Cowboy. It’s not high art, but it probably makes a good adventure, honestly — the best RPG adventures tend to be somewhat derivative, right? Where players sort of see the big beats coming. That’s this. And since the cyberpunk aspect in 2300AD is so generic, you can pull it out and run it for anything.

Nice Aulisio cover, it’s got atmosphere.

The Grimborn brothers

(my edit)

Hds and ideas around their first year Like shorter hair for both but also Suguru wearing classic uniform until it got ruined by *someone* then he picked his final one. To me Suguru s behavior was always how we knew him (compared to satoru who changed a lot while there.). Always constant, easy to rely on, caring, not as judgmental as Satoru (who didn t mind openly tell the whole room abt his opinion... this didn't changed much ...) Satoru being less cocky but still a brat, kinda in a more nerd way (?). Not used to be around people his age, everyone was so boring or just not interesting. Also that boy grew up so fast his shoulders didn't get the memo, but he caught up at some point, prob 2nd year. Practicing martial art helped. There is also a whole part abt city boy vs country boy, camping, sleeping bags, regrets, lot of cursed in a well known forest, a very amused Suguru...

did a follow up piece to this drawing :) these are me and @navysealt4ts ocs max and brie btw :)

They say I'm trouble, they say I'm bad

They say I'm evil and that makes me glad

A dirty no-good down to the bone

Your worst nightmare, can't take me home

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Who's the baddest of them all

Welcome to my wicked world, wicked world

Rotten to the Core

Rotten necklace from the Descendants Collection, and Hurt/Comfort lipgloss by Harri “I am thee captain, you are not my first mate” Hook

Products from @harriyanna ‘s store! I must give this a 10/10.

Lipgloss is vegan, has a beautiful shade, and as someone who is uncomfortable with certain lipgloss textures, I can confirm that it’s very comfortable to wear, even on sensitive lips! And the Rotten necklace is gorgeous!

Product came as expected, no items were damaged, with brief delivery wait time. Would definitely purchase from her store again! <3

Rotten to the Core - Don't Let Me Wait Too Long (1973)

I am not the first person to comment that this George Harrison cover sounds a whole lot like Big Star.  Given the date, it’s entirely accidental. It also begs the question as to why George didn’t release his version as a single - it’s a great song.
