So how's the rent in these things?
>>988993481000-2000eb per month at the minimum(RED).By our standards V is living in a really good apartment with food and drink access right outside his room
>>98899348Probably depends on where you live, lower floors have lower rent and the higher you go the more expensive it gets. If you were some mundane rando you could probably get a mid tier apartment.
Have any of you folks ever done the Single Player mode for Cyberpunk? Thought of using it to run a quick campaign with the Edgerunners Mission Kit.
Yo guy who posted the dual welding supplement last thread:Put a changelog with the link
>>98899357Also Gloria was in fact raking in eddies pulling that apartment and paying for corporate education. Guess salvaging chrome does pay well.
>>98899455Speaking of corporate education Is it just me or is it rather dogshit?You can just get what they're chipping in your brains at home or with enough money. If I'm paying for a corporate education I better fucking be in the McMansion zone smelling the fake grass and trees and away from the pollution.
>>98899462Reminds me of a discussion a bit back on which life path would have had the best education. Think it landed on nomad, takes a village styled education, corpo is gonna be very targeted not general, and street kid is lucky to even have one.
>>98899476I'm thinking of corporate education just being an MBA that you start fronm the age of 8.Nightmare nightmare nightmare
>>98899462>You can just get what they're chipping in your brains at home or with enough money.It's all about networking. David was in the sane class as the son of the chairman of the local Arasaka branch. You gotta think about connections not the education.
>>98899455*scavving
>>98899357And inside, it comes with a vending machine.
Am I reading this right, Kendo gives you moves you can do with a melee weapon, but you can't use it to attack with a melee weapon, you still need the Melee skill for that, and you can use Kendo for unarmed attacks?
>reading Cyberpunk 2020 rulebook>FNFF is based on real world data and statistics!>except the MAC-10>fuck the MAC-10
>>98899603No scavving would be taking that shit from living people, Gloria was straight up just ripping shit from folks the meat wagons picked up, a victimless crime all things considered.
>>98899067Monsanto if it kept on trucking back in the 2010s.
>>98899067An excuse to have dinosaurs in the XXI century.
>>98899150Justice just keeps going. Hopefully forever. Check the soundtrack for OTXO.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kovIpGelv5EMusical Mfridays>>98899348Because it's about to get spooky in here I'll say the guy who rents you the apartment very pointedly says "It's the best place you'll ever live." and that rent wont "Be more than you can take with you." He keeps saying "They're to die for." and expects a reaction from you, whenever he points something out about the building.
>>98899967This.>>98899896I also splashed in a lot of GenTech (from the Dark Future books/game) into mine.
I'm looking for a narrative cyberpunk game, not necessarily rules lite but less focused on combat and more on roleplay. Which isn't to say it shouldn't be violent, but I don't want combat simulators like lancer and 5e, and I seem to understand that 2020 and Red fall under that umbrella
Are Maelstrom women good for you?
>>98900101Use 2020 or Red for the underlying framework(and lore if you're up on that), you don't really need much ruleswise for roleplay and it gives a lot of freedom and tools when it comes to living in the dystopia.
>>98900102Can you fix her?
>>98900101Maybe neon city overdrive? It's definitely on the more rules light side, but it treats everything the same, so combat isn't weighted any more than any other system.There is also The Sprawl, which uses powered by the apocalypse. Ymmv heavily on that one. There is a Forged in the Dark cyberpunk game, but it was really tied to nano machines and climate collapse stuff, not really my cup of tea. And, while still kind of more in the d&d camp, their is Cities Without Number.
>>98900246Looks like she's into fixing herself. Independent women, as they say.
>>98900102Depends, did they plate it over, or give it a kung fu grip?
>>98898132previously, a fella (I want to say >>98893554) said that sarif industries would be making a killing on aesthetics. I'd submit they'd be the Apple of cyberware. but that's a separate tism.
Would you chrome up if you got isekai'd to a cyberpunk setting? Or would you stay 'ganic?
>>98901504Adam's arms are skinnier then I would like but I would totally rock his setup.>>98901538Absolutely, even knowing the potential risks.
>>98901538Absolutely, with meta knowledge I could far more easily exploit cyberwear.
>>98901538i'd be poor and not able to buy any chrome
>>98901752Get a loan from a corp, that's 10k, and sign yourself up to work in a dollhouse, you won't even have to experience all the use of your holes and they'll pay for the chip in your brain, when the contract is up you're all set to get started.
>>98901538Realistically I'm too squeamish to let myself get cut apart like that.
>>98901538I'd at least get a few of my limbs replaced. Mostly a separate issue there though.
>>98901504They got that shit going even for their organs. I'd say it's an apt comparison I can see Sarif being very anti-modification.
>>98901504In general Human Revolution is how I kind of imagine the corpo world in Europe looking compared to the rough American Military feel of Militech and neo-Japanese feel of Arasaka. Not a common sight in NC, but it's a good place to draw ideas from if you want something different.
>>98899641Yes, that's how it works. Kendo gives you the ability to lower Aimed shot penalty with melee weapon, and deflect bullets, bombs with your MA skill.You can attack with your martial art of unarmed, so like all hybrid martial arts if you have a linear frame it's more efficient to just punch them then use your melee weapon.Kendo is best for characters who don't plan on going above BOD 10.
He just wanted to destroy everything his father had built.
>>98902925Honestly, there's ONE printed NPC with Autofire, which you can't block, and Cut The Bullet can also defend the whole group from explosives since you just need to be in the area of the blast to get a chance to stop it, that level of "nope" against ranged attacks makes using a melee weapon more desirable than an extra die of damage. Especially with the right weapon, like this one.
