Ep 53: Dead Center // Death Trade

NeoScum is a future-fantasy comedy podcast featuring five Chicago improvisers antagonizing their way through the roleplaying classic, Shadowrun. It follows a group of misfits and outsiders: a chromehead decker, a teenage candy-junky klepto, a kid&#39;s show wizard with a petulant thirst for adventure, and the nastiest trucker this side of the robo-Mason-Dixon. Join the irascible NeoScum crew as they make their way across a strange but familiar America in 2077, doling out street justice to every deeb they encounter – whether they deserve it or not.

NeoScum is Blair Britt, Mike Migdall, Gannon Reedy, Eleni Sauvageau, and Casey Toney. Check out NeoScum on Twitter (@NeoScum), Reddit (r/NeoScum), and at NeoScum.com.

At long last, we return to the world of NeoScum and revisit its colorful cavalcade of characters. Friends, enemies, lovers, strangers... and maybe even the NeoScum themselves. // As the NeoScum Epilogue explores the entire extended NSU (NeoScum Universe™) — including one-off bits from several years ago, never-before-seen figures only ever alluded to, as well as characters and events from Patreon-exclusive NeoScum Gaiden episodes — it can be a lot to keep straight.
