>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.

High Tide was the single best example as to why powerlevel shouldn't be the only motivator behind bans.

It’s the opposite. I don’t care that much about the lore but i likewise don’t want to play against some ballaching metafag which is the majority of people i’ve met in KT so far. To claim that you just want to “throw some dice” is absurd when metafags are the least casual players you can go against.

My last game had my opponent go over the entire meta leaderboard status of the top teams and how the newest dataslate could impact the upcoming this and that other fuckin tournament. Who gives a shit.

>>97216044
I’ve never met the latter in my life in any game. I would find a /yourdudes/ autist pretty annoying i’m sure but i’ve yet to even meet one to make this observation.

The most fun games are somewhere in the middle where it’s a good clean fun game where the rules are observed but both sides remember that we are trying to simulate dudes fighting eachother and not merely moving spreadsheets around
>>
>>97222716
>both sides remember that we are trying to simulate dudes fighting eachother and not merely moving spreadsheets around
Not instigating anything, but what would this look like to you? And how would it impact the game or enhance the enjoyment of the battle? I ask because used to live in a place where our local spot tried to implement a sort of narrative campaign but it ended up just being limply implemented and mostly limited to a whiteboard map that got colored in depending on what faction (Chaos, Xenos, Imperium) won the most games in any given week.
For me, KT has fun rules and good game design so just the act of playing is enjoyable; you could strip out the flavor of the teams and it still would be enjoyable on a mechanical level. Obviously the flavor is what adds the special spice to the game, getting to interact with the factions/setting you like and all that comes with that, but at its heart KT is still a warGAME to me.

Small mats that function as the base for terrain, they're made by gamemat iirc. Helps to define the boundaries of area terrain like ruins. Storage space is limited, so the terrain bases don't have any base plate attached to them.

Fuck off, none of the units that have heavy need a durability boost
>>
>>97222943
I've also played at least once a week since release, and in my experience the army that sits in a corner cowering and doing nothing but shooting generally wins.
For context, we use player placed terrain (rulebook rules + allotment, so 6 impassables that we also treat as heavy, 4 6x6 medium area terrains and 2 10x10 medium area terrains)
Most games end with both players at max primaries but the shooting castle scores Last Man Standing and First Strike which means they win.

That sounds so much difference from my experience. How is the castling player clearing objectives and keep units on them without moving out of their corner? How do they deal with multiple units in Rhinos rushing in and charging them turn 1 or 2?
Every time I've seen somebody try to do the sit in a corner and only shoot they struggle to get LOS to units in time, can't force enemy units off objectives and get their own scoring units on it in the same turn, and have one or two elite melee units that come flying into their ranks which start rolling up all the shooting units.

>CONCEPT:
Neutral-aligned academic necromancer who views death as merely an optimizable logistical problem. His pragmatic and 'ethical' approach to reanimation (ranging from vineyard-pruning skeletons to city-reconstructing zombies) has earned him both recognition and a camp of Kelemvorites protesting at the gates of his tower. Unwittingly, his obsession with transcending the limits of mortality is slowly leading him toward a transformation into an archlich, a result he would, at most, consider merely a 'methodological breakthrough' in his post-vital research. Pretty much a necro-engineer with very poor social skills and a creative grip to reality and social conventions.

Race: Standard Human
Class: Wizard (School of Necromancy)

Like all weapons in my game, the quality of the weapon, the user's technique rating associated with the weapon, and her strength rating, modified by the skill used, determines effectiveness.

Strength requirements, Ranged skill.
You don't put more strength into your draw, that's some video games bullshit. Once you hit the strength requirements to reliably draw the bow, all that's left is hitting more precise. And that's governed by hand-eye-coordination, perception and your skill with ranged weapons.

For every 2 points of Dex above 10, add 1 to your roll to hit. For every 3 points of Dex above 10, make an additional attack per attack action at a cumulative -2 penalty. For every 4 points of Dex above 10, increase the crit range of the weapon by 1.
For every 2 points of Str above 10, increase the damage of the weapon by 1. For every 3 points of Str above 10, you can reroll 1 damage die per attack. For every 4 points of Str above 10, your melee attacks may cleave to another target within range and your ranged attacks gain 50% of their base range in additional range.

>>
>>97221074
Think I've already given you enough recommendations for a few dozen hours of play but oh well. For solo make sure to stay away from Card-Driven games. And again chit pull is your friend, after Reds you could play more Ted Raicer games like The Dark Sands. Ambon Burning Sun might be another good one, with the invasion mechanic you're not controlling enormous unwieldy forces which you struggle to forget which counters have moved, it's self-contained beach heads.
Non-hex games I've recently enjoyed are Operation Bollebank and Habsburg Eclipse, which are dedicated solo only.

Nah, 3E as a whole, for all its flaws, is definitely Exalted and obviously written by people who care a whole lot about Exalted. The worst parts about 3E, setting aside the mechanical issues of the core, aren't ones where the writers seem like they'd want to write something else but ones where they half-ass things due to obviously being embarrassed of something from the past editions but simultaneously too fond of that something to really let go and change things. I mean things like Raksi being sort of a cannibal monster still but kind of not, or Lilith, or Lover, or, to a lesser extent, Ipithymia.

No, luckily enough older players felt the same and there's a couple classic 40k rulesets hanging around. Not to mention being able to go back and play whatever edition I want, it's just a shame I miss out on the huge player pool of mainstream 40k.
