Example of Play (Dark Prophets)

From AdamWiki

Creating the World

The group wants to play a gritty cyberpunk shoot-em-up. Bob wants to limit cybergear to small stuff -- no full limb replacements -- but the rest of the group seems to want unlimited gear. Bob calls a vote. He's the only vote against unlimited gear. Alice tosses one of her chips into the pot to cancel Bob's vote. Bob counters with a chip of his own. Alice tosses another, again cancelling Bob's vote. Bob decides it's not that important to him and lets it go. The game will have unlimited cybergear. The chips stay in the pot.

The group agrees on the rest of the details. It'll be set in a fictional version of New York City in the year 2066. The main characters will be enforcement cops, detectives, their spouses and family, and various criminals.
