Post by: Dr OcCuLt on May 22, 2017, 12:44:31 AM
hello

i'm musing on running a cyberpunk 2020 game. yes i know it 2017 and the dark future didn't happen, but it maybe fun to go back to the 90's to play in the future which is the now.  :borg:

if you want to play or have any thoughts on the matter feel free to post.

Dr. O... I love the green banner!

Yes, I would love to make a character for a CP2020 game. I believe that Kitman usually plays a medic, so I"ll play a "fixer" type then.

I'd be up for it!!

I'd like to play a Solo or Nomad - whichever works best in your game :D

Level wise looking at starting every one with 51 stats points and half cash for gear. So low end. as what class depends on what way you want to take it. solo maybe better but i can find away to get a nomad to work.

i'll probably be starting the game some time next week as there's still some stuff to sort out. but having an idea of class is good as i can think of ways to fold them into the plot.

Sounds fab! I'll go with Solo :D

the character gen does not have equipment or cash so can you give us a cash number and which books we can buy out of we have nearly every one.
Title: Re: Cyberpunk 2020 (in 2017)
Post by: Dr OcCuLt on May 23, 2017, 08:32:16 PM
i only have the core book at the moment (i'm kicking my self i've lost my copy of Solo Of Fortune) any gear from the core book is good, but if you want some thing from another books just run it past me first.

as for character
51 stat point
cash for gear is by class basis
e$1800 for Solo gear
e$1200 for Fixer gear
e$1300 for Medtechie gear
e$1000 for Nomad gear
everyone gets some free gear: one set of clothes, a respirator, cellphone and Night City Metro card

Can we add cyber ware and what cost is it besides Humanity loss (ie any surgical cost etc)

If you give us a game name i can set up the forum for you.

Post by: Dr OcCuLt on May 24, 2017, 08:47:55 PM
yes you can pull from source books, if it's not in a book have i would just want more details, just to make sure its not some munchkin style class or over powered gear, and i'll have GM discretion to NERF it if its to unbalanced.

cyberware is just the implant cost and humanity loss, don't worry about the surgery or anything

Game name to come - my idea was "the future that never was"  but the more i think about it the more depressing it sounds.does anyone have any suggestions

I hope that I didn't make myself too old in the future!. Yeah, that is a good question and while we are still building characters can we still adjust things if needed.

I.E. Expert skills: Economics

I was looking to take another expert skill but weren't sure if the DM is open to it. It's from the "Wildside book " Bureaucracy".

Does everyone in the game have most of the books (2013, 2020, fanzines, etc ) and does everyone use Dropbox or GDrives to share?
Title: Re: Cyberpunk 2020 (in 2017)
Post by: CrustyGeek on May 25, 2017, 10:22:23 PM
I think I have most of the books - I think I'm up to around 30 - 40 of them - Ebay has been a goldmine for CP books.

Espatier:-
im fine with you having two expert skills.

i'm fine for score books at the moment. as the setting night city (and making a lot of changes from the core book any way) it just source books have random gear stats, there fair use calm for PMing limited scans of pages but probably don't need to. and now CD project red has the rights probably best to push luck on the copyright.

as for a name the Neon Darkness, the Neon City, the Crome City all of which are bad (or good names for hipster prog rock albums)

very sorry i've had a hectic weekend so not had a chance to respond, thanks to CrustyGeek and kitkatman for PM'ing the character sheets. as for a name i think have to put it under some thing generic like cyberpunk: night city. one last question what do admin think about swearing in the game, as i started writing i realised i was swearing in dialogue and don't know if this breaks the forum guidelines, if someone tells me i'll edit it to less bad cussing.
