There's so much going on here! I really like that it takes a step back from the typical street-level, single-person approach of most cyberpunk games by letting you run things as the Spider. It reminds me quite a bit (in approach, rather than specific mechanics) of the in-between heist moments in Blades in the Dark, when you have to make those higher-level decisions about your crew. Very clear design and writing, too. Love all the random tables!
Blades in the Dark is definitely a big inspiration, down to the nickname for fixers — one of my favorite RPG characters ever was a Spider, and I always loved the feeling of pulling strings, making deals, and organizing things from behind the scenes. Thanks for the kind words!
