COUNTER/Weight is the second season of Friends at the Table. It is set in the distant future, and follows a group of freelance problem-solvers called the Chime, who were founded on the titular planet. It draws aesthetic cues from noir, mecha anime, and cyberpunk, and focuses on themes of capitalism, the exploitation of pop culture, and the construction of political symbols.
Games
COUNTER/Weight is mostly played in The Sprawl, though it began as a game of TechNoir. The faction game is played in a combination of Stars Without Number and Microscope. An interlude is played in Kingdom, with the finale being played in Mobile Frame Zero: Firebrands.
