The year is 2150. Climate change is finally being dealt with, but it hit the Earth hard. The seas were barely saved from collapse. Many fish are endangered or extinct. Fish are now a status symbol for the rich...

Wetrunner is a cyberpunk fishing TTRPG set in Pinnacle City, a Pacific island city in a post-climate-collapse, eternal-summer future where fish are rare and the wealthy hoard them. You play divers, the elite high-tech criminals who heist those fish.
