Talsorian Games, set in a (then) future inspired by film noir and the dark science fiction films and books of the late 20th century. It focuses on simulationist gameplay and lethal near-future combat.Cyberpunk RED is the latest edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG, set after the devastating Fourth Corporate War. It focuses on more balanced, streamlined gameplay and is currently supported by R.

>>97971278>How're the gang wars going in your campaign?I'll start by mentioning mine>Party sold major arm shipment to RCL, putting their war with Iron Sights to a standstill>Given this event, Hornet didn't hire them to get the train back, meaning a gang of randos was hired instead, they failed their d10>RCL is growing, forcing Kimen-Gumi to join Iron Sights - Tygers don't really give a shit about this war, meaning that Cassel will get to form her own faction off of this>RCL is trying to find supporters - if they gain the tech party is after as well, they have a bargaining chip that enables help from nearly any corp (or a swift black ops extraction)>Maelstrom is looking to attack Iron Sights but doesn't want a strong RCL>Gold Dragons just want to chill on the sides, are also happy if Alice's is busted so that they'll have a bigger market share. Will become RCL's main rival if they win>Alice wants to be the new head of Iron Sights, transforming their gang into more rapey and cruel version of the Moxx - potentially will get help from Cassel for this. Bloodguts is still a cunning and powerful warrior, so crew might be needed for these events to take place. Whew.
Wild life still exists in the setting, right? I wonder if there are some hermits or small communities who live in the canadian wilderness living off the land by hunting and gathering their food and other necessities.
>>97972384Wildlife does exist, especially further away from cities. There are also new creatures, beings made in labs, released into the wilds as part of experiments, military campaigns, and to devour independent populace. But not all animals are cyberpets, animal handling is a cool niche skill. Riding too but I expect there to be cyberrides later.
>>97971278I love the art in the OP. This is how Pacifica looked before the Haitans showed up.
I think I'm finally ready to admit it, I don't like RED
>>97971369Putting NC2045 to work, I see.
What would be the closest class to what you'd consider a spy? A solo? Fixers aren't even playable, right?
>>97973622Prowler?
>>97971278This is some very silly art but I like the random four armed callidus assassin
>>97973622Fixers are playable... Yeah, I guess they'd make a half decent spy as they can blend in with a number of cultures, and can source gear anywhere.
>>97973622Why would fixers be unplayable?
>>97973667Didn't even notice that, hot
>>97971278Are there any official or homebrew rules for 2077's CrystalDome technology for either 2020 or RED?I'm trying to replicate the Netrunner buggy that Muamar lends you to hijack cargo vehicles for a future adventure for my players
>>97974452Maybe check Hardwired for 2013?That’s all about armoured vehicles connected to someone’s brain.
>>97973622Exec are often blackops. Solos can be too, but fixers should work well. If you want a James Bond type spy then moto isn't a bad multiclass power.
>>97973402Oh absolutely. Can't give me a treasure trove like that and watch it rot.
>your cyberoptic automatically scans qr code™ in a gang graffiti>installs malware that disables your cybernetics one by one over a few minutesWhat kind of "curses" are you guys putting in your city?
>>97974545One QR code is just a very link to a very old website from the Old Net, and all it plays is Never Gonna Give You Up
>>97973622fixer, solo, exec, netrunner or even media (as a detective type) depending on the feeling you're going for. skills are agonistic in cyberpunk so you can get weird with it. If you want to be exposing conspiracies then netrunner or media work, if you want to lean hard into wetwork then solo, if you want to focus on social engineering aka lying than a fixer could be acceptable, etc
What could realistically threaten corporate rule? I'm thinking of some kind of biochip that allows a group of people to coordinate themselves like a corpo and escapes corporate control.
>>97974810Terrorists with proper backing, large scale war, EEC internal affairs, Highrider Confederation, Nomads outlasting and outbreeding the corporate world, genetic experiments gone wrong...
>>97974810Corporate system will collapse in on itself, birthrates are plummeting and cloning will only create a new kind of hyper-dystopia. Edgerunners and Nomads are already the solution, if AIs don't make any major cataclysmic moves.
>>97974810Consider Vegas. Local mafias rule better than corporations. It's not threatening the corpo rule per say, it's subverting it.
>>97974810the datakrash
>>97974810>What could realistically threaten corporate rule?Teens with ATTITUDE and nanomachine superpowers or whatever the gimmick in V3 was.
>>97974810Testosterone injections and nationalist movements. Corpos can only rule sheeples.
I need a list of a lot of Cyberpunk STL makers.So far I've got AnvilIndustry for cops and punks and that's about it.I do like the EM4 combat zone minis though for old school sculpting aesthetics.
>>97974810The power of love
>>97974810Themselves, for a start. Blindly chasing profit for the next quarterly report isn't always great for long term stability or overall security (remember, until it's actually needed every security measures is simply a cost eating into your profit margin, a margin you're expected to always steadily improve), and everyone that matters in the corpos are only really in it for themselves and will happily make shit go to hell in a handbasket as long as it's the guy they compete for promotion with who gets the blame. Just like the corporations themselves will happily sabotage each other, fatally if they can.The marketing guys may paint a picture of an unassailable corpo castle, but the rot in the foundations goes deep.
Anyone happen to have a map for a massive industrial vehicle?One of my missions will involve a huge crane as the setpiece but the best I've been able to find are bw blueprints of real ones or that TF2 version of that one UT map (which has no interior version).
>>97975258Papsikel
Any supplements, fluff books etc. that detail what the shit's going on with the Moon? Seems like some prime untapped potential there.
>>97975376Not for red but there is a 2020/2013 source book for the Highriders and space stuff.
>>97974452Corgo's 2077 collection on Reddit has rules for it. To copy them here:>CRYSTALDOME> Moto Rank Required: 5>Replaces the vehicle’s windows with a 7 SP material which completely obscures the interior occupants from outside view. Cameras and sensors scan the outside environment and display it on a windscreen inside the vehicle. Incompatible with, and replaces, a 2nd upgrade of Bulletproof Glass. Requires at least one installation of Bulletproof Glass.
>>97974890It's pretty much guaranteed that the AI invasion beyond the Black Wall is gonna happen at the same time as the 5th corporate war.2077 set ground work for that and Phantom Liberty solidified it even more with the cynosure facility.
>>97973889I've never played a fixer before, and whenever I've seen or encountered fixers in other people's games, they've just been the mission distributors that quickly fuck off once their scene is done. I guess I have some reading to do.
