BLACK COUNTRY, NEW ROAD
Rachel has been driving your Type-66 for ten years. Nobody knows it's stolen.
In 2059, you gave Rachel Broussard the spare key to your Type-66—
—and for three years she never gave you a reason to ask for it back.
Heists, gigs, and the bad nights in between. You watched her six. She pulled glass out of your back at four in the morning and never put it on a bill.
She knew which questions you wouldn't answer. You learned when to stop asking hers.
Then somebody put her freedom and yours on the same table. She didn't need the whole question.

She knew which questions you wouldn't answer. You learned when to stop asking hers.
Then somebody put her freedom and yours on the same table. She didn't need the whole question.
Your last gig with her was a heist contract. Hit a Militech courier—two drivers running a job that needed a crew, which is exactly as stupid as it sounds. The payout was cut to the size of Rachel's debt.
NCPD had the exits before you made the ramp.
Rachel dropped the south service gate. You on one side. The Type-66 on the other.
She took the west tunnel. She took the cash to Serafin Ojeda. She took your car.
You took the prison sentence of ten years.

You took the prison sentence of ten years.
Now it's 2072. You walk out with €$35000 and a parole file, along with nothing registered in your name.
Rachel never even repainted the car. Same red, same bullet scars down the rear quarter—the ones the tunnel put there while you were still standing in it.
She's been racing it for ten years now and the crowd screams for it every week.
Night City forgot your name in a year. It never forgot the car, and the only version of that night anybody has heard is hers.

NIGHT CITY, 2072 — Night City's corpos built the Black Country Championship series from the remnants of the Unification War. It broadcasts death racing to the masses. The violence is glamorized, and whether you're the punchline or the star of the show is up to you to define.
BLACK COUNTRY, NEW ROAD — Is the second New Road season. It leads through four championship races. Enough money waits at the final to leave Night City for good.

AN ACTUAL RACING RPG — Races are computed by the engine and narrated by the LLM. Every race exchange rolls a d20 and adds your car's tier, its build, your driver rating, and whether the chassis suits the road, then subtracts hazard for damage and weather.
Beat the course DC and you take the sector; all dice rolls results are calculated by the engine and narrated by the LLM. Illegal jobs work the other way: those are judged on what you actually do by the LLM.
THE GARAGE — You start with no registered car. Purse buys the chassis, builds raise the roll, street cred raises your driver rating. Eighteen cars spans across five quality tiers, from a first beater to a Rayfield hypercar.
THE CAMPAIGN — Four championships, five ranks. A loss or a DNF still advances you; placement only decides what you get paid. You can finish this badly and still advance to the next championship race.
PLAYING IT — [MESSAGES] for today's races and jobs. [AUTOFIXER] to buy and build. [RIVALS] to challenge the five contenders outside daily and championship races. [DATAPOOL] for what the city is saying about you. The footer suggests commands that are possible in the scene. You can write commands within your RP prose, the engine will parse it.
Money, cred, garage and inbox all ride in the header, so you never track anything by hand.
The handbook below has the full command reference and game mechanics explanation, along with campaign state simulations.

—THE NEW ROAD RIVALS
“The car is mine, bébé. I paid for it with your life. What are you going to do about it?”
Rachel Broussard runs Cadeau Auto, which means she can put a price on anyone desperate enough to ask her for help. Every favor she offers goes onto a ledger you never get to see. And no, she is not giving the car back.
“Chat, look at this antique. Ten years in the pen and he thinks he can share my grid. If I gap you tonight, your keys go on stream. Deal?”
Charlotte Kessler broadcasts every race to CitiNet's DataPool so nobody can rewrite a result the city already watched. She wants to be the one who hands you your first loss live, and she wants your keys in the wager when it happens.
“Wrong pocket. Or the right one, if you wanted me to have it.”
Anastasia Doroshenko races a black Shion. Between races, she steals from the VIP paddock while the engines cover the security alarms. She gets close enough to lift your key shard, then waits to see whether you notice.
“Bono, my tyres are dead.”
Louis Hamelton took the 2071 New Road title by waiting for everybody else to fuck up. He nurses the rubber, closes the door, and lets Bono call the contact legal over the radio. He never taunts you. He just talks to his engineer while he takes the position.
“Rented car. Rented crew. When you put it in the wall, who drives out to get you?”
Leandro Pacheco runs a clan-built car with an Aldecaldos convoy watching from the shoulder and Tavo Rios calling the surface from the passenger seat. Promoters bill him as desert muscle. He takes their money and their road anyway.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE ROAD
Muamar “El Capitán” Reyes kept what was left of your garage alive for ten years; the €$35000 in your account is what survived rent and storage. Dakota Smith posts the Badlands races. Claire Russell serves the racers who make it back to the Afterlife. Rogue Amendiares owns the room they celebrate in.

—BOT BEHAVIOR & REROLLS
Every bot reply begins with a header that carries the engine state. Reroll if the bot omits or corrupts it.

—SAVE COMMANDS
Send exactly SAVE_RP or SUMMARIZE_RP to trigger the bot's chat summary. It's a better save summary than JanitorAI's auto summary for my bots.
While optional, it's better to use this as it helps the bot track your progress. For long-form RPs, make sure to keep your token window under 32K and save after every major plot beat.

—KNOWN ISSUES
CORRUPTED/HALLUCINATED IMAGES IN MESSAGES — Typo by the LLM; edit the message and fix the typo, or just delete it.
BOT DOESNT RESPECT THE HEADERS — HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to put this in your prefill settings: "The current is authoritative for this reply's response frame. Copy its SUPPLIED BOOKEND character-for-character, immediately apply its exact FOREGROUND STATE directive, then write scene prose, then copy its supplied footer."
The issue above usually happens often if you steer the LLM with OOC directives; it'll hyperfocus on your last message instead of respecting the main prompt. I really recommend using the prefill setting on a reasoning model with thinking enabled. Drawback: LLM might overthink.
MIGHT NOT WORK ON JANITOR'S MOBILE APP — IDK why, maybe JavaScript memory heap limits causing OOM. The lorebook tends to not trigger on the mobile app, works fine on mobile/desktop browsers.
