Live & Direct: Multimedia in the Cyberpunk Age
Live & Direct: Multimedia in the Cyberpunk Age is a 1996 RPG supplement by R. Talsorian Games for Cyberpunk. It focuses on the Media as a playable role, showing how mass media shapes a dystopian world. It covers media history, networks like Network 54 and DMS, and tech such as screamsheet and braindance. It adds new Media-based characters—war correspondents and moral crusaders—with rules for reporting, publishing, and influence. For game masters, it provides background on global media giants and tips for using Media as allies or foes. Arcane magazine reviewer Alex Bund gave it 7/10, calling it an excellent sourcebook with a fresh angle, though the artwork isn’t great.
