This is the best thing ever invented by a black man.
>>92732967I'd rather run it with Savage Worlds. Everything about this game is too convoluted.
>>92732967woah zased.what would cyberpunk look like if it were born today and it weren't aesthetic bait? e.g. edgy pulpy anticapitalist near-future counterculturewould it be good or just a bummer
Mike Pondsmith is awesome
>>92733004it would be lame because half of the fun in Cyberpunk 2020 is that you get to play in the aesthetic. It's like the Appleseed OVA or some shit but playable it's great.
>>92732982Why does everyone say this? It's not. There's like 2 semi abstract things in it, and once you get your mind around them they're both easy to explain to others. The whole system is easy. I'm a fucking retard and I wouldn't play it if it wasn't easy.
>>92732967I prefer peanut butter, the other thing ever invented by a black man.
>>92733687>Cyberpunk ttrpg and peanut butterquality over quantity i guess.
>>92732967Traffic lights and the golf tee. But still have love for Mike Pondsmith and Cpunk
>>92732967I concur, although i lean more on the one that was too real for glowniggers
>>92733004>and it weren't aesthetic baitStyle over substance was the literal motto of the setting.
>>92733687Super soakers were legit.
>>92734467Lmao. Anyone care to post page 5? I'd like to hear what happened.
>>92732982>His brain's information sponge has dried up
>>92736362I don't have the pdf and my physical copy is not in English so here's the summary of what happened:https://www.sjgames.com/SS/
>>92732967Discount Shadowrun?
>>92736568Shadowrun is discount Cyberpunk.
>>92732967tru tru.
>>92732967It's an appallingly shitty ripoff of William Gibson. So yeah, maybe.
>>92732967Better than stone tools? I guess you said best and not most important.
>>92733461People confuse it with Shadowrun sometimes.
>>92733461The game has 30 different ways to calculate shit like layered armor protection and doesn't even decide which one to go with.
>>92732967Too much clunk and bloat. But RED is shit as well because it's way too streamlined and the new setting is awful. I swear we'll never get a good enough cyberpunk game.
>>92734467Nobody plays GURPS, they just seethe about how nobody else wants to. Stop being that fag.
>>92738109Low effort bait-bumping won't work on me nigger, try to post something interesting about the genre or about cp2020 in specific instead of a meaningless console war and then we can talk.
>>92738142>Calls it bait>Responds angrilyLooks like it not only worked on you gurpsfag, it hit too close to home. There is nothing to engage with you, you don't play enough games to have any meaningful thoughts on the genre in its tabletop context.
>>92737205Cyberpunk 2013 and Shadowrun 1E both came out in 1989. I don't think either is a discount of the other. I do, however respect Mike's work more than FASA's inability to let their cyberpunk game be something other than a setting reskin on a D&D heartbreaker.
>>92739666>Yes it is bait!Glad you cleared that satan, now fuck off.
>>92738081I've been playing 2020 for nearly 20 years and I gotta say, my only complaint is the length of the skill list. A little too much redundancy there. Beyond that, it's a damn near perfect cyberpunk genre game.
>>92740617except netrunning.Unless you actually use it in which case teach me your secrets
>>92743028Oh shit. I forgot those exist. My group haven't touched 'em in years upon years. Okay, the skill list and the netrunning rules.
>>92743056Do you guys use maximum metal vehicle rules or core? Every time I reread Maximum Metal I'm both disgusted and intrigued but I've never been brave enough to do anything except port ACPAs over
>>92738066No?
>>92733687Video-game cartridges.
>>92733687Anon doesn't even know about my man Carver changing how we look at crop rotation because he thinks his own ignorance on the matter is some kind of dunk on a man who's legacy will outlast his by centuries. Also, Rhythm & Blues.a
>>92732967Nobody inform this homosexual about FASA's 1987 preview of Technomancer with d10s
>>92743667rhythm and blues was just scots-irish music.
>>92732967The next best thing, Super Soaker was also invented by a Black man
