This is the recruitment thread from my Cyberpunk 2020 game.
I will post the campaign brief tomorrow.
Color me interested.
Also keen

Uuh, fo realz? If this is open, count me as another one interested. I doubt I still have the books around, but still... Cyberpunk 2020. sweet.
Any way of finding the Cyberpunk rules online by any chance?
Wow, 2020. I wonder what the world will be like so far in the future?
Sarcasm aside, dot
Actually we are surprisingly close to having a world like the world of CP2020.
If current tech trends continue, weight well cyberware on a similar level.Politically out world is becoming uncomfortably like that of CP2020
I suspect we will not see the awesome nineties hair however.

Speak for yourself.

My genetics conspired to make it possible for me to do that, but I could get a wig if that helps
I've never player CP2020, but in a gurps cyperpunk game at a convention we murdered some of our ubiquitous bioroid (android) brothers to use their bodies to cover a heist of a bioweapon. "Creative problem solving" the gm thought.
The real world doesn't seem to embrace the "punk" aesthetic nearly as much as one might hope. OTOH, there are are a darned lot of homeless and free-floating tinkerers/hackers these day...
I would so be into this, I haven't played cyberpunk in YEARS and it would be a blast if thus could get off the ground :-)

Datafortress 2020 had a large portion available, but I haven't been there in years.
I have almost all the source books and don't mind sharing information (but I will not be making pdfs or copying books for people).
Zombie, I have a few questions:
* Point Build: How many Character Points are we looking at?
* Skill Points: What (if any) Max Rank in skills at start of play?
* Straight Cyberpunk 2020 Lifepath, with all its attendant Skill/Stat magic, I'm assuming?
* Are there any Roles/Special Abilities you don't want to see in the game? (Corporates, for example, are often problematic, as are Netrunners)
* Anything from the Chrome Books available, and if so, what is and is not?
* Anything I missed, here?

RE UP you're crazy!
RE UP you're outta ya mind!
Okay, seriously, it's been a couple of weeks since I've seen Zombie around these boards.
Does anyone know him personally? Is a wellness check out of the question?
Folks, it's now been nearly a month since I've seen hide or hair of ZN.
Does anyone know him personally? Can we get someone local to check in?
A few days or weeks off the boards is one thing, a month without a peep or a "I will be gone for a while" post is another entirely.

No, I don't know ZN personally. I do agree a check in would make sense.
I'll go start a thread over in Off Topic, maybe that'll get some attention.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
And he has responded on these boards.
Can I now take this opportunity to register my interest in this game?
You'd bloody well better.
Zombie - when you get a chance, my questions over in the discussion thread are still, hopefully, valid. :)
No, wait, never mind. They're not in the recruitment thread. They're here:

Hey guys.
Sorry for the scare.
Brain weasel take most of the blame, but epic fail on my part too.
I have hours and hours ahead of me this weekend, so I should get things into shape for play.
Thank you for your patience.
Regards,
Ben

Welcome back! :-)
Oddly enough, my Cyberpunk game for today (Monday) has been cancelled as multiple players (not meeeee) are at Disneyland. So, you know, can't play if they're being Moused.
Looking forward to seeing the character rules, etc, for this one. :)
Still here! I broke my foot so my other engagements have been delayed.
Zombie, I have a few questions:
* Point Build: How many Character Points are we looking at?
60pt, with concepts appropriate for a street level game.
* Skill Points: What (if any) Max Rank in skills at start of play?
Max five sounds pretty reasonable. Again, the aim is for street level characters.
* Straight Cyberpunk 2020 Lifepath, with all its attendant Skill/Stat magic, I'm assuming?
Yeah, straight up CP2020 lifepath
* Are there any Roles/Special Abilities you don't want to see in the game? (Corporates, for example, are often problematic, as are Netrunners)
No netrunners. They are replaced by Scripters. Scripters are a varient Techie, who writes codes, and finds exploits rather than does system intrusion.
Basically, it is watch dogs hacking, rather than Neuromancer hacking.
* Anything from the Chrome Books available, and if so, what is and is not?
I am pretty open to any equipment being used. The mitigating factor here is money.
* Anything I missed, here?
No, don't think so.
Awesome.
I'm actually having a bit of a rough time coming up with a character concept (which is highly unusual for me), so later tonight once I'm home from my Champions game, I'm going to roll up a character. Literally.
Everything I pick, from the Role, the Lifepath, all of it until I get to characteristics, will be chosen at random.
This should be interesting.
Much as I want to submit for this I just spread too thin. Good luck to all who apply!
Closing in on the full degree of completion for a character submission.
Doing everything randomly has had interesting consequences. :)
The only child of Raymond and Carla Frye, Bridget was born into a supportive, thriving extended family - the Del Rio clan gave her and all the other children of their newfound urban-agrarian lifestyle the best they could. Bridget, or Shavv, as she liked to call herself (after a favorite song title of her youth), quickly learned that she could get more done by making friends and connections than she could on her own. A naturally curious and social person, Shavv also learned that snooping into business that wasn't her own could often get her a great deal of information - information that other people might find valuable.
Fast forwarding to her adulthood, Shavv struck out on her own at the age of sixteen, as did all the members of the Del Rio's. After turning eighteen, she attempted to return to her home, where she planned on utilizing her skills at getting people to do what she wants to better the now massive Del Rio compound. Apprehended by SoCal CorpSec on her way back to Seaside, Shavv was in the wrong place at the wrong time - and was jailed for nearly a year for a crime she did not commit.
Unsettled by this, she returned to the Del Rio compound - and was promptly forced to leave due to circumstances she no longer remembers. Four months of her memory have been eradicated from her mind, following a mysterious, and highly circumspect automobile collision.
The hits just kept coming, as while she was attempting to rebuild her life and recover her memory, the one man she had ever loved left both her heart and her apartment empty and cold. Shavv has no idea where he went, or why he left. She would very much like to find out, but doesn't think he'll ever come back - no one who just ghosts out like that ever does. She might kiss him if he came home. She might shoot him.
She hasn't figured that part out, yet.
Most recently, before being told about the untimely demise of Badk!tty, Shavv managed to move several petabytes of data off of a "ghostbox" pirate server and back to its rightful owners, netting her a reasonable amount of cash in the process. Being able to get the right information out of the right people is a great thing.
Still in progress. Made a solo from a low-grade streetgang who got his arm blown off and decided to go corporate instead. Rolling for my occupation money to find out if he can actually afford a cyberlimb:
/ 3 =
And if he's still employed:
Two questions:
1. Am I allowed to sell out to a megacorp or do any of the other things under the "Running out of Cash?" section?
2. Do I need to do the randomly generated life events? I wrote out a backstory and character concept before I realized that was a thing. If I've gotta nuke it, I can, but I'd prefer not to
Meet Jet.

That all changed when a new girl moved into the block. She was cute, she was clever, she was flirty. Before long, Minx had them both wrapped around her little finger, and Jet and Rewind felt some genuine friction for the first time in their romance. Come to find out they'd both cheated on each other with this girl and things got violent. Jet figured he could take his scrawny ex-boyfriend any day. Jet learned an important lesson: doesn't matter how big you are, getting your arm shot off hurts. Of course, Rewind learned an important lesson, too: if you're gonna throw everything you've built out the window for someone, make sure she's not being paid off by a megacorp to get your gang out of the way.
Stories don't end with the main character bleeding out on his kitchen floor, though. Even in a rough neighborhood that might ignore a domestic dispute going on between two dudes that were known gangbangers, once thirty-four shots go off in an enclosed area, somebody's calling the cops. One person in that shootout got to walk away before they got there. It wasn't Jet, and he took a fall. The apartment was clean, he could reasonably claim self-defense on all the shots fired from his own autopistol and the ragged stump made the judge go a little easier on him. Six months of hard time later and he was all healed up, with a stump, no money, and a dream. He wanted to go corporate.
hey guys, sorry for another brief absense (end of the academic year PWNed me, not to mention Brexit, prepping for interviewing for a place on a BA(hons), and just having discovered my cat has cancer)
Are you going to be accepting players until you have the amount of completed characters posted on here? How many players do you happen to plan on allowing in the game? I am interested in this game. It seems that it will be a bit slower since you are busy often ZN; I am okay with that. Which books do I need to own to play your game: just Cyberpunk 2020 2nd edition, V3, others?
The character's name would be Roger Brennhim. I just created this alias and avatar picture for the game.
Generated character sheet and generated lifepath - I will probably adjust a bit from this, but it gives me a start and a place for you to tell me where I may need to add or deduct from here, so I can finalize the character.

Oof. Sympathies and empathy, man. Do what you need to do, keep yourself cared for.
*Lots of Character Stuff*
I'll chime in for ZN in his quietude for now on this one, Roger.
Character details are In This Post. So you're a few points over, here and there, notably in Stats and Skill caps.
ZN is using CP2020 and all Chrome Books, I believe. As we're Street Level, I would expect no ACPA, no FBC cyborg bodies, etc, but then again, ZN himself says "the mitigating factor here is money," so who's to say?
Zombie, you still with us?
Do I have to roust the troops again to find you?
