New year new me edition

>Cyberpunk 2020 vs. Cyberpunk RED?
Cyberpunk 2020 is the second edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that focuses on simulation gameplay and has a black trenchcoat aesthetic.

Cyberpunk RED is the fourth edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that is set after Cyberpunk 2020 following the Fourth Corporate War, focuses on more balanced gameplay and is more streamlined but has less content.

You can discuss Shadowrun here too because I also feel bad for those guys.

Yeah Medtech is even worse with Surgery being useless and Cyro/Pharmaceuticals capping out in usefulness pretty early.

They should be streamlined similar to Techs getting all their specializations for free and Surgery and Medical Tech becoming normal skills they get a Bonus for along with the other medical skills like Paramedic, First Aid and Cybertech

The diplomacy is the interesting part (to me). Livius writes some very entertaining speeches for the various Greek factions as the Romans and Macedonians vie for their support. Then there's the naval battles, naval siege, concerns for winter quarters and all that. The actual battles are very short, the maneuvering and planning is where it's most interesting. Suits itself to a campaign game more than single battles I'll admit.
Alexander and the successors have some good battles. A great one is the siege of Tyre where they built a dam to the (then) island fortress, still visible today.

What are these radical ‘fixes’ then? I’m genuinely curious. Worst-case scenario you give us all some pointless well-worn platitudes, at best you save some lives from waste.

I think referring to depression as ‘mental weakness’ is pretty reductionist too - Lincoln, Churchill, Newton, Grant all suffered from awful depression and achieved great things - and that’s before we even get into all the great contributions to the arts made by people exhibiting this ‘mental weakness’.

Mounted bandits that actually use their mobility and the shock of their mounts.

I had a Runequest campaign end abruptly when two Orlanthi stock-rustlers on ponies came down the road, and my players both decided to jump out in front of them; they both died instantly, as they were playing naked feral Telmori wolfmen, and had neglected to buff themselves or tranform into wolf shape.

Their hacked and trampled bodies were left by the roadside.

>>97349486
I think in general bandits are commonly thought of as brutes living outside of society and robbing/raping/murdering their way through a usually meager existence.
What if they're not counting on common armed robbery, but instead have more of a black market vibe going on? And when you meet them, they're not doing anything to harm you but trying to get through with whatever illicit goods they're transporting. Like some abducted young females and / or illegal reagents/magic stuff/weapons.
The party would be challenged to notice what is happening, and then be challenged to decide what course of action to take. Perhaps they keep their heads down and avoid conflict, or they demand a bribe. Or they attack then and there (make sure the bandits form a visibly possibly deadly encounter). They might also follow the bandits back and try to free the captives silently... Or become the ambushing party and see if they can kill some bandits in their sleep.

Another option is to have two groups be mid-combat, and both claim the others to be bandits. What group will they help out and "kingmake"? Or will they just let the combat run its course? Will they "third party" the whole lot and take all the loot? Or will they pacify the fight and try to get them to leave each other alone, thereby becoming part of the issue of whose goods are these anyway. You might sprinkle some evidence to the truth around the scene for players who wish to engage in that route or just keep it a coin toss.

Third option is the bandits are con artists of some type and will try to swindle the party. Snake oil, soothsaying or acting like victims and pickpocketing. Or they might send the party out to a nearby dungeon and hope to loot the corpses after the inevitable failure.

Fourth option is that bandits prefer soft targets, and adventuring parties are not such targets. So they try to get away. Up to the party to decide if they give chase or leave it.

I'm not sure it's worse or better in 2024. 2024 is a short rest healing in a box plus a healing buff for spell based healers. 2014 is just a once per rest heal that provides no passive benefits.
Multiple characters might want 2024 healer. 2014 healer was only takeable by maybe a Thief.

Anyone willing to look at a homebrew that I'm worried is busted for me? It's intended to be steeped in flavor, rather than abject efficacy. I must also confess that writing something dark, without coming off as an edgy tryhard donut steele retard is very difficult. Also, there is admittedly a massive amount of narrative context that's missing here; trust that it's relevant. The Mastery is a completely intentional choice and I am fully aware of its potential implications. And no, it does NOT require attunement. That hyper-flexibility is a large degree of the power budget of its status as a legendary item.

Why does necessity have to get in the way of coziness?

Take Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: the stakes are high and your mission is dire (you gotta collect 3 macguffin drops every year to power the macguffin crystal that keeps your village safe from the poisonous Plot Air, failure means your entire village gets wiped off the map) but the moment to moment story is still a comfy adventure of discovery, road trips, new experiences, and the importance of memories.

Coziness comes from tone and themes, not a lack of stakes or peril.

I'm not wanking off to the rape and incest, just admiring it thematically as an underrepresented yet universal aspect of tragic stories.

Ancient histories, pseudohistories, religious texts and folk stories were not bound by the constraints of a pg13 rating.

Shit, Ovid literally credits Orpheus with inventing pederasty.
Which grossed me out, because I only like to "artistically admire" rape and incest between fully developed tragic degenerates.

But well, like I said, Ovid is a satirist, so reading his characterizations as conventional is a questionable proposition.

Shit, Zeus alone is a one man bastard factory, not all willing.
Odin also rapes the Jotunn Rindr, using sorcery and begets the god Valli upon her.

TIn the most ancient Gaelic rite of kingship, the sacral king rapes the sacred mare, representing the Ouranic male mastering the Cthonic feminine, then the animal is killed and butchered, and the king climbs into the cauldron when the meat is cooked, and portions out the meat to his retainers, and the broth to his subjects.
This is basically an iteration on a Scythian horse sacrifice rite, which is also related to Vedic horse sacrifice; the Gaels themselves claimed to come from Scythia, the claim is called a pseudohistory by some, but this rite may represent a profoundly relict mode of worship, preserved across great spans of time and distance.

Sure, but that's the nature of supplements for any game. Zozer is hardly the worst offender. Hell there's a lot of TSR supplements that require you to own other supplements to be able to use them with the core books.
I stand by my original statement that TRAVELLER does a good job with doorkicker, high risk combat. I only pointed out Modern War because it provides the kind of thing that most people think of when we discuss this kind of combat.
