Aaron Berger yeah, agreed re Hacker. I feel like every playbook is a purely stylistic statement and the fiction needs to conform around those choices. Like, big activists groups aren’t necessarily even a thing absent our Pusher.

That’s how it played, although the Pusher did Declare a Contact as a hacker among her believers. But then I wasn’t sure what to do with that NPC! Start introducing Matrix-side threats? That seems more punitive than “hey, good thing you brought that hacker along to deal with those problems!”
