  Once upon a time the forests were prosperous under the protection of a great hero, who 
  defended the Elflands from evil. But no elf lives forever, no matter how great. Eventually, all 
  become one with the soil. With the hero gone, the forces of darkness and their monster armies 
  retook the land, spreading miasma as they went, forcing the elves back behind the walls of 
  their settlements. Though the plague of miasma robbed the elves of their magic, it did not rob 
  them of their courage or bravery. Now, a new generation of heroes is rising up, organizing 
  themselves into Elflines to fight back the monster hordes and return the Elflands to its Golden 
  Age, each elf hoping in their hearts to become that legendary hero’s successor.

  tarting Your Elf Life
  S t a r t i n g Y o u r E l f L i f e S t a r t i n g Y o u r E l f L i f e :
  Creating your Elflines Online character is as easy are 1-2-3, and is a lot like creating 
  a Cyberpunk RED Character without a Role.
  First, you create a Complete Package character with 50 STAT Points, and 60 Skill 
  Points. Elflines Online characters have no LUCK. No STAT may be higher than 8 at 
  character creation, or lower than 3.
  Second, your Elflines Online characters chooses their Skills from an altered Skill 
  list, and the maximum level a starting character can have in a Skill at character creation 
  is 6. Elflines Online Characters are not required to spend their Skill Points on any Basic 
  Skills like Cyberpunk RED characters are. Your Elflines Online character is an elf, 
  and automatically has Language (Elven) at level 4.  
  What is  
  ElflinEs OnlinE?
  Elflines Online is a 
  Massively Multiplayer 
  Online Game created 
  by Segotari as a launch 
  title for their RUSH 
  REVOLUTION Interactive 
  Braindance headset. 
  Players face off against 
  the forces of darkness and 
  enemy players on Citinet 
  servers, competing for the 
  best items and server first 
  boss kills. In the wake of the 
  game’s release, the Elflines 
  franchise has expanded 
  to include the Network 
  55 Show The Elflines 
  Online! Chronicles, 
  various plushies, and 
  even limited edition 
  “Sacred Herbs” Kibble 
  by Continental Brands 
  complete with collectible 
  packaging. The MMO has 
  caused a new generation 
  of Night City to reimagine 
  themselves... but as elves.

  Third, choose an appropriate Elfname for your character and pick 200gp of equipment 
  from the Elflines Online Armory table to start with. You keep any gp you don’t spend.

  MiasMa
  One of the defining game 
  mechanics of Elflines 
  Online is Miasma. Except 
  for in Major Cities, and 
  temporary Camps created 
  by players using the 
  Wilderness Survival Skill, 
  Miasma is everywhere. 
  Miasma has two effects. 
  First, it suspends acceler-
  ated elven healing after 
  stabilization, and prevents 
  Treatments. Secondly, it 
  allows PvP in the area, 
  and if killed by another 
  player not in your Elfline in 
  an area of Miasma, they 
  receive 1000gp from your 
  2000gp death tax or your 
  payment to remove Revive 
  Sickness. See Combat/
  Healing Alterations.

  C
  ombat/Healing Alterations
  c o m b a t h e a l i n g a l t e r a t i o n s
  Combat and Healing are altered to make Elflines 
  Online feel more like an MMO. All Elflines Online 
  characters can choose to dodge ranged attacks 
  using their Evasion Skill, just like dodging bullets in 
  Cyberpunk RED. Any repairs made in ELO take 
  only a minute, and cost half what they would in 
  Cyberpunk RED in gp. When out of combat, and 
  not in an area of Miasma, a character that has been 
  stabilized heals back to full HP within a minute. Except 
  in areas of Miasma, a critical injury that is Quick Fixed 
  is immediately considered Treated. Treatments cannot 
  be attempted within an area of Miasma.
  Death is also treated differently. Upon reaching 
  0 HP, a character dies and is teleported to the last 
  place they made camp, and they sacrifice 2000gp as 
  a death tax. If they do not have 2000gp when they 
  die, they instead get Revive Sickness, which reduces 
  their MOVE to 1 until they can sacrifice 2000gp to 
  remove it. If you can’t afford it, you could always buy 
  2000gp for 20eb. See Paying to Win. If you land 
  a killing blow on another player not in your Elfline in 
  an area of Miasma, you receive 1000gp from any gp 
  they sacrifice as a result of the kill to remove Revive 
  Sickness, even if they do so weeks later.
  C
  haracter Progression
  c h a r a c t e r p r o g r e s s i o n
  ELO has a very low max level to encourage players 
  to play multiple characters and pay for multiple sub-
  scriptions. Characters start at Rank 0, and the max 
  character Rank is 10. Each time a character “Ranks 
  up”, typically after completing a quest or clearing a 
  dungeon, they choose an improvement depending on 
  their Rank. No option can raise a STAT or Skill to 11 
  or higher:
  ranks 1 to 3
  Increase a STAT by one. This option must be taken 
  for the first three Ranks, and cannot be selected after.
  ranks 4 to 10
  Choose one:
  • Increase a (x2) Cost Skill by 2 (Evasion/Dance, 
  Melee Weapon, Archery, First Aid/Paramedic/
  Surgery).
  • Increase two different non (x2) Cost Skills by two.
  tItles for powerful elven heroes
  When a character reaches Rank 3, they are given a 
  title based on which STAT they chose to increase the 
  most:

  Sage
  REF
  Bowmaster

  Paying to Play
  p a y i n g t o p l a y p l a y i n g t o p l a y
  A subscription to Elflines Online costs 20eb a 
  month for a single character, and is included in all 
  lifestyles starting at Generic Prepak. At Good Prepak 
  and higher, you can have as many Elflines Online 
  characters as you need to sate your obsession, and 
  almost always pay to remove Revive Sickness without 
  really thinking about the expense. To play, you’ll also 
  need a Segotari RUSH REVOLUTION® Interactive 
  Braindance headset (500eb, Expensive), and a copy 
  of Elflines Online (50eb, Costly).
  P
  aying to Win
  p a y i n g t o w i n p a y i n g t o w i n
  You can buy Elflines Online gp at a rate of 1eb 
  to 100gp at any time while playing. Since all of the 
  items you can acquire in ELO can be traded to other 
  players, there also exists a market for powerful ELO 
  loot on The Street. These items are bought and sold 
  just like any other valuable commodity in RED, so 
  call your Fixer. ELO accounts are also sold just like in 
  game items are, with a Rank 10 character being worth 
  500eb (Expensive).
  I
  nteracting with other Players
  i n t e r a c t i n g w i t h o t h e r p l a y e r s
  Whenever interacting directly with other players 
  outside of an ELO game mechanic, you use your 
  Cyberpunk RED character’s Skill bases instead of 
  your ELO character’s Skill bases whenever it makes 
  sense. Persuading another player NPC would use your 
  Cyberpunk RED character’s Skill base. Persuading a 
  ELO NPC for a quest would use your ELO character’s 
  Skill base.

  Playing Elflines Online can be a way for your players 
  to blow off steam after a big job. You could use it as 
  a way to introduce new characters, or present it as a 
  session zero to explain how your edgerunners know each 
  other. Players might be tasked with killing or infiltrating a 
  competing Elfline, or stealing valuable items from a rich 
  player by holding them at gunpoint in real life. Creating 
  encounters for Elflines Online is easy: Just steal from 
  Cyberpunk RED. Take any statblock for a Cyberpunk 
  mook, replace its highest ranged weapon Skill with Melee 
  Weapons or Archery, add a corresponding weapon if 
  necessary and theme it based on a piece of cyberware 
  or special gear.  Just like magic, your Boosterganger is 
  a gremlin, and your Security Officer with wolvers is a 
  bearwolf. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll notice that 
  Elflines Online encounters are tuned to end quicker than 
  those in Cyberpunk RED, so don’t be afraid to run more 
  combat than you might run in Cyberpunk RED. Treat 
  the ELO characters just like you would Cyberpunk RED 
  characters for encounter difficulty. Once your players feel 
  safe, turn up the heat with a Green Dragon. (Pyro NPC 
  with a 2 ROF Flamethrower) Creating epic loot is just as 
  easy, but try not to give much of it. Excellent Quality ver-
  sions of weapons from the Elflines Online Armory are 
  a good example. Most monster packs drop gp, a monster 
  part worth 50gp, or items from the Elflines Online Armory. 
  Segotari is stingy with the droprates of powerful items, and 
  you have to kill bosses just to get a chance at them. The 
  final boss of a dungeon typically provides players gp 
  equal to the eb they might expect to receive for a Job in 
  Cyberpunk RED, based on the difficulty of the dungeon. 
  For added fun, have the “real world” intrude on them while 
  they are playing. As everyone knows, you can’t pause an 
  online game, Mom.
