They look good...but those gaps!

Cyberpunk 2020 had Protect & Serve which was a book dedicated to running campaigns with the PCs as law enforcement officers. There are a lot of different cyberpunk stories to tell and corporate employees, cops, street rats, hackers, gangers, hire killers, organized criminals, etc., etc. all fit...

Here you go...

I've been thinking about your post, any theories as to why cyberpunk games don't scratch any itch for you? When I was younger, most of the cyberpunk games I played in followed a pattern very similar to D&D. Do job/quest. Make money. Buy better equipment/skills. Repeat steps 1-3 as...

A wise man once told me, "Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball," and the older I get the more I understand what he meant.

Starting last week, I am periodically redirected to the website listed below when I am here at EnWorld. This does not happen when I'm browsing other websites, and I've checked to make sure my system was up-to-date and free of viruses and malware. It occurs to me that I should have gotten a...

One of the common tropes of cyberpunk is people making use of technology in new ways that were not thought of by the manufacturer. But we currently live in an era where corporations have deliberately tried to make it difficult for end users to have control over the products they purchased. For...

I haven't seen every Kubrick movie, but Eyes Wide Shut is my least favorite. When I saw it, I just thought to myself, "What the $#%% did I just watch?" I like 2001, but my wife is still angry I "made" her watch it with me back around 1999 as she found it to be one of the most boring in the...

Hit points are abstract representations of how much damage a character can suffer and just about any such a system is bound to be absurd when examined too closely or taken too literally. Of course in the narrative, getting hit doesn't really mean you have less luck than you did before. It...
