"Dude, what if cyberpunk but with orcs and elves and dragons and shit?" I think it's time to put down the joint, Travis.
It's kino wydm? The lack of magical races to make "ocdonutsteel" is one of the downsides of cyberpunk, though personally I'd make a setting with werewolves, vampires, angels and demons like VTM rather than tolkien shit
Shadowrun is older than you zoomie.
>>743414824If it started in 1989, then I am 5 years older than Shadowrun, gaylord.
>>743414794There was an official Cyberpunk 2020 licensed spin-off called Night's Edge that did just that. Vampire; the Masquerade+Cyberpunk. The publishing company put out so much content that easily 20% of all cyberpunk 2020 official books is from this spin-off.
>>743414707>let's take these two popular concepts and combine them>WooOOOOOOWW are you CRAZY????? how do you eveN COME UP WITH THIS SHIT what kinda INSANE DRUGS do you have to be on to MAKE THIS STUFF UP?! #shook
>>743414707I liked how in Returns you uncommonly had the game give you allies and mostly had to decide either to upgrade your abilities, weapons/armor or hire runners to help you out in your next mission. Dragonfall and Hong Kong largely did away with that although you could still hire runners if you wanted. It was just the worse choice all if not the vast majority of the time.
>>743414707I want more shadowrun-like games
>>743419964I wish Shadowrun Minotaurs actually looked like this.One of the weaknesses of the setting is after Findley died the writers who took over cringed about how fantastical and ridiculous he made things.Suddenly everyone looked more like ugly humans, ancient elves basically stopped existing, everything became about AI becoming sentient and dangerous, and mechanically the game shifted to be less ridiculous 80s action.>>743414794After the Vampire Wars is a fun setting that uses those, it's a bit schizo but that's on purpose. Unnamed US president decides as part of his domestic policy, he's going to blow the lid on the existence if Vampires.Special task forces get deployed in all fifty states to start murdering vamps.Unfortunately, while this president knew about lesser vamps, he didn't know about master vampires who pass as human and through loads of nepotism and dealing have taken control of all of Hollywood and Western News Media.So footage quickly starts showing up on all of the major channels of "US government gunning down innocent civilians with skin conditions!" With footage cut to avoid showing the vampires ripping people's arms off of course instead focusing on this most brutal use of incendiary ammo.There's a lot more, revelations of other races, humans developing magical powers due to exposure to the supernatural, and Arizona getting nuked, eventually leading to a New Civil Rights Act, that is basically a surrender to the Vampires.
>>743417673The optional runners you could hire just annoyed me because you could tell 90% of them were kickstarter backer OCs. I know there's one that's literally just Felicia Day and I'm pretty sure one's wearing a fedora or a top hat.
SR > cyberpunk
>>743421167>I wish Shadowrun Minotaurs actually looked like this.the wonderful thing about RPGs is that you can just make shit up and change things in the published material you don't like. Out of all types of games you can play RPGs are the ones that are most "yours"
>>743415049Lmao just retire to the grave unc
I just want to fuck Gobbet's sweaty armpits then violate her ass using duck fat as lubricant, is that too much to ask?
>>743422168I'm well aware, and that's how I've been running it for years. I also refuse to move on from SR2/SR3 hybrid, doesn't mean I won't bitch about how the writers have ruined things though.
>>743414707It's a very old series and it's cinema. There is a clear trade off between using the high tech shit or going magic as magic doesn't work with tech
I loved Dragonfall and Hong Kong. Never played Returns cause I heard it was pretty mediocre, mechanically. Should I play the fan remake of it inside of HK?
>>743414707Sis you get so mad about the HK vs DF duscussion in the 2077 thread that you made this?Anyway, I like both games, but they're also kind of shit. Way too short/low budget. Doesn't scratch the itch of either Baldur's Gate or X-Com. But I like that they tried. Games didn't feel like hateful propaganda like most other modern CRPGs do (are).
>>743422662Cant be worse than the OG. That nobody ripped them a new one for selling that janky proof of concept as a kickstarter game just shows how mild and peaceful gaming was overall back then compared to today.
>>743422334Back to your little room at mom's that she makes you pay rent for lmao
>>743414707The whole elves and dragons in this setting is cringe, but they still nailed the atmosphere better than Glitterpunk 2077.And its a pretty acceptable turn base tactical.
>>743422662Returns has the same charm the others do; like a child proudly displaying their little macaroni picture with a full diaper.It's 'fine', but I also couldn't be assed to finish it.
"Never make a deal with a dragon"? Fuck that; I want some job security.
>>743422953do americans really make pictures out of food?
>>743422961dragons are le bad because... they want you to keep working for them?
>>743423508obviously shadowrun is a setting that worships NEETdom
>>743423619>99% of chars are ghetto poorfags or fallen corp-meat looking for any score big enough to NEET withSounds right
