CyberPunk 2020 - Discussion
« on: Tue 09 Mar 2010 17:28:35 »
I did write a whole post but the forum fowled up!

Okay, basically, interest check for a CyberPunk Game. In short, Ghost in the Shell, Akira kind of thing, dystopian future where corporations and the media run the world, and rampant violent gangs rule the streets. Booster gangs sope themselves up with the latest cybernetics as much to be cool as for their own protection. Life is living on the Edge, pushing yourself as far as you can without going Cyber Psycho.

Now, you're free to play as asny of the classes (I will list them when it starts) however I usually advise for your first game you play as a Solo, as they're combat oriented and always get an edge in initiative order. Always better if you can draw a gun first. Solo's are basically solders/mercenaries of any form. You could run with a local gang or be hired by a top corporation as a bodyguard.

It's also pretty easy to die in CyberPunk, but that's the nature of the game. A coujple bullets could floor you quite quickly, but if you shoot first and have subdermal armour, cybernetic arms with popup flamethrowers... well, you're alright ;)

Interest?

My enthusiasm for this cannot be contained by a simple text-based post on an Internet forum, or the whole universe would be obliterated in its path of joy.

In short, hell, the-fuck, YES!

Awesome guys, cheers :D you can get a huge range of cybernetics, from spikes that come out of your cybernetic foot to help you climb to hidden cybernetic arm guns, to full body conversions (think RoboCop) to the Mr Studd, which is a cybernetic wang implant that adds +1 to Seduction XD

3 so far. win. we can even start with 3 - anyone can join in at any time. the way cyberpunk works there aren't really levels. You just get improvement points that you spend to upgrade skills.

Will I be remaking my character's life path or keeping my Viking pillager? Only done the life path (which you know about) as need to know how you are doing stat points. Though I have some ideas about the direction I want to take.

It's entirely up to you. You can either start from scratch with the others or keep the one you have now.

For the purpose of those new to CyberPunk, the LifePath is your characters randomly generated history, which tells you things that happened in your past, good or bad. It can be something like making a friend (Which can help you in game) or an enemy (which can hinder or try to murder you horribly) things like coming across tons of money, or having a drug addiction. When we do the LifePath, you roll for every year from 16 onward. I'm allowing 2 rerolls, as sometimes you can get a really shit LifePath.

lmao, yes. Some of them are awesome though. The Life Path is a great system.

Skaði "The Viking" Guðrún has some of the starting of a background and a name with many accents. No stats yet though.

Right, if all who wish to take part could grab me on MSN I can run you through any rules you need to know and about making your characters. I'll also set up a bio template of what I want your bios to look like.
