Neyuttad Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I'm just testing the water here to see if there's any interests. My past attempts to start a game were unsuccesful so I'm a little wary. I was wondering how many people would want to start a GURP campaign in a cyberpunk setting (think William Gibson's Neuromancer, Count Zero, Night City) let me know :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orsino Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I'm interested. Are we talking Cthulhupunk, or something more generic? What sorts of characters would you be looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRigger Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I adore cyberpunk :) Cyberpunk 2020 was a great game setting and ShadownRun is a blast once you get rid of elves, magic, dragons etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixminis Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Friday Night Firefight (Cyberpunk 2020's combat system) rocked! I was very enamored with how quickly things died. Keeps the characters lookin' for creds so they can call the ambulances!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasus Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I played a rockin' cyberpunk MOO/MUD/whatever for many years till the newbies started getting stupid. I'd LOVE to get in on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstormhammer Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I can say with pride that I learned to play CPunk from Maximum Mike Pondsmith himself. If I didn't have so damn much to do, I would easily join you in the Reindeer Games. Best of luck to you, and if you need answers, I have them. --LSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neyuttad Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 Sorry if it took a while to answer, it's been busy lately with christmas and new year. As for the characters, I would prefer not to put too much restrictions on them. I can tell the story from different perspective depending on what kind of characters the players want. The only restriction is that they have to know each other before the adventure starts and/or are from the same power groups. Here they are... 1. Police/Security/Vigilante Forces/Mercenary Forces 2. Organized Crime organizations, mobsters, gansters, etc 3. One of the Mega-Corps agents What would you guys want to be? As for classes, we you can be anything you want including archetypes such as hackers, hitmen, assassins, bodyguards etc. I must admit, I'm not sure what Cthulupunk is. As for this world, it's during the year 2020 on Earth so it's not that far ahead. There's no magic whatsoever but there are some rare cases of psyonic (military experiments, mutations, etc) As for the most part, I'd like to keep it "real" albeit more technologically advanced.

Orsino Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I'd be interested mostly in the hacking, rather than the ultra-violent, and would probably avoid an organized crime game. How about a formal proposal? Edition? Point totals? GURPS Cthulhupunk, by the way, was essentially a GURPS Call of Cthulhu, but set in a near-future cyberpunk world.

Spartan6 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I'd be interested if you were using the actual Cyberpunk 2020 rules. It's still my favorite RPG of all time. Even it's predecessor, "Cyberpunk" was good and the Friday Night Firefight rules for that were even deadlier than in Cyberpunk 2020. I miss Pondsmith making that game and supplements a lot. I asked a question in a thread here a long time ago about why the cyberpunk genre died out not only in gaming but in fiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRigger Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 I guess I'd be down with it :) I'm down with the ultra-violence, personally :} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neyuttad Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 I'm more inclined to agree with SaintRigger - ultraviolence is part of the cyberpunk genre. It is a violent future after all. I'm not familiar with Friday Night Firefight nor Cyberpunk 2020 and as of now we don't have enough people. Let's wait a bit :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
