Technoir is an upcoming cyberpunk roleplaying game designed by Jeremy Keller, author of the ENnie Award-winning Chronica Feudalis. What sets Technoir apart from most other cyberpunk games out there, is the fact that it uses a pretty elegant rules-light system.
Jeremy has started a Kickstarter project today and tries to raise $2500 in order to being able to publish Technoir as a full-color softcover book. The beta version of the rules is available for free at the official Technoir site, and after leafing through the beta PDF I decided to back this project. I really would like to see this fine game in print someday.
By the way, at this moment $845 have been pledged by 24 backers already. Perhaps with your help, we can get the Technoir project funded in just mere days!

Oh, this fits nicely right now. Your tweet about the 2030 Review made me long for a new Cyberpunkish RPG. This looks really intriguing! Thanks for sharing.
Looks interesting, I like the Transmissions idea, haven’t had a chance to figure it out yet but it looks promising.
Looks very cool, thanks for the heads up.
And it's already funded. Bravo!
