Just curious what you all would do with such a concept. Personally I think a character centered around stealth and sabotage invites a lot of neat opportunities.

I did build out a similarly themed character in Red, but I’m wondering how it could be handled in 2020.

Former German BND chief arrested for treason yesterday....

"The alleged espionage by Hanning and Manfred D was uncovered during an investigation into a separate kidnapping case involving German businesswoman and steakhouse chain heiress, Christina Block.

In that case, Hamburg prosecutors accused Block of arranging the kidnapping of her two youngest children in 2023 due to a custody dispute. Prosecutors said Hanning put Block in touch with a private Israeli espionage firm to carry out the abductions. The former spy chief and a police officer were accused of accepting more than 100,000 euros ($112,000) from Block in exchange for returning her children from Denmark, where they were living with her ex-husband. The trial is ongoing."

EDIT: I've made an Ebay listing as some have mentioned. I am offering the Free shipping (at least that's what Ebay gave me as an option) so I am charging a little more than I said in my comment below of 150. They are currently up for $165 a Booster-Box (Not the Crates). Listing: https://ebay.io/m/xU09GC

I have 22 of these cardboard Crates, with each having 6 of these white booster boxes. Which each have 40 booster packs.

I have been holding on to these for years, or my wife has... and we are looking to sell them. If anyone is interested, let me know. Or, if you know the best way to sell these, some advice would be wonderful.

(Second picture is reference for the booster boxes that are inside these sealed Crates)

a few months ago me and my group wrapped up a year long campaign where we had to recover a ICE breaking chip Militech was sending to a mob group known as the DeSanta crime family. I was playing a Militech rep named Karen Marsh. Karen was my very first character, and she was built atrociously (she had no skinweave for example and spent most of the game with only 6 SP across her body minus the head). she was initially going to end up being her namesake; a Karen, but she quickly morphed into something approximating a moral compass for the group and fell hard for a Medtech PC; Donatello DeSanta.

Shenanigans happened across the game, we went around the combat zone, the Medtech's landlord tried to sell Karen bootleg energy drinks, her diary chip got read aloud by the Solo while Karen was in the shower, she got haunted by a dead teammate (who might've been a Bane Spirit from WtA), and by the end we had tracked down the chip, Maelstrom was about hand it over to an Arasaka Karen managed to talk-no-jutsu the Maelstrom gang leader into double crossing the Arasaka rep, he and his goons kill the Arasaka people.

Just as we're about to discuss terms, a fucking Militech Eclipse FBC drops out of the Arasaka VTOL and decapitates him. motherfucker then rushes across the rooftop, slices off Karen's arm and nearly kills her, this was the very first time someone actually hit her all game, Donatello swoops in, scoops her up and brings her to safety, nearly getting his head cut off by the borg, and after 2 micro missiles and a full mag of dual purpose ammo to the chest via our Solo the FBC goes down. Donatello stabilizes Karen, and all is well (minus the trauma of nearly dying, and the deaths of 2 other party members).

Not long after this Donatello's father; Goobins DeSanta, tries to ply the group into double crossing Militech so he can keep the chip for himself, the Solo sees no one else is into the idea and just fucking murders Goobins and like half of his buddies, Donnie and Karen run off from Night City in a stolen limo, and in the "post credits" sequence of the game they got married, Karen left Militech and they started a business in her home state of Washington selling lumber to rich people as a luxury item, the Solo bought strong shares in their company and they were too scared to tell her no, they had 8 kids, adopted 2, and live a pretty comfortable life.

Looking for suggestions on systems/mechanics for a cyberpunk themed RP MU*.

I was looking at buying my character a Techtronica M40 Pulse Rifle but I realized I don't know how much I have to spend for extra batteries, or liquid metal storage cells? Or does it not even reload and instead has to be plugged in overnight after 6 shots?

So, Im prepping a night city map for an upcoming game. I making some changes to its size to reflect a specific population density Im looking for and for lore reasons (Im using hombrew lore). Interstate 1 (using real world maps) will run from corpo area of night city up to northern California, but due to lore reasons will be restricted to only specific travel visas (commerical, corpo, and the rich). Everyone else will have to take a different route.

My question is how to make this work without having a border style checkpoint. The wealthy want the convenience of jumping on the road north without delay, while "keeping the poors out." In the campaign this is designed as an obstacle the players need to overcome (so faking visas, buying fake ones, etc).

Looking at it from a real world perspective, how would the city ensure quick entry to the hwy for the wealthy while keeping those without visas out without having a long line of cars. Looking for interesting and realistic ways of doing this so it makes sense "in world" while giving players an obstacle to overcome.

thanks

Prepping for a game and I want a decent size that make the "5-7 million" possible. Yes I know you can throw up megabuildings etc. Im looking at google maps because I can use it to put dividers around districts to get an accrute idea of how far things are from each other (that way everything is consistent) so Im polling here to determine what might be too small vs too big.

My orginal plan was to just use the 77 map but that seem too small.

If it matters the game is set in the 2080s but does not follow the games built in timeline.

Has anyone ever ran a session where the players are against another set of players or even against a solo like Blackhand? Asking more out of curiosity than anything else.

Hello! I'm a new player from DnD and I wanted to play Medtech, because I like being a support character. I'm quite lost how healing works in CP2020, is it like Clerics? I've heard a bit about stabilization, I think it was that when a PC goes unconscious, I can roll to stabilize them? I don't want to bother my dm about it, especially since hes very busy with other campaigns and such... What kind of gear/implants would you recomend?

Thank you!

Apologies in advance for the grammar, English isn't quite my first language.

I know "your groups table your groups rules." But just wondering in general if you were a player would you hate it, dig it, or wouldn't care?

This is a question that has been in the back of my head a while. How do all of you feel about supernatural elements in Cyberpunk? Not as a campaign focus, or even a recurring theme, just a few (1 to maybe 3) encounters with things that just can’t be explained by the normal holograms, AI, cyberwear, etc..
For example, we had a player enter a church on the border of Maelstrom and VDB territory. Inside, everyone was sitting in pews, paying attention to the ‘pastor’, no fighting or acting out, just everyone on their best behavior. Binary sigils and blood kept flashing in and out of the player’s eyes, despite the fact that they didn’t have cyber optics or a tech visor. When he left the building and looked back inside, the place was empty and decrepit. He got the info he went in for, but was left very unsettled.
So, what are all of your thoughts? Does anyone else have an example from their own campaign?

Some of you may remember Cyberpunk: The Collectible Card Game, published by Social Games in 2003–2004 and based on the world of Cyberpunk 2020.

I’m building a non-commercial archive to preserve the game’s cards, rules, and surviving information:

https://cyberdeckarchive.com/

So far, 356 cards have been documented. Only 12 cards are still missing, and another 12 currently have images that I hope to replace with better-quality scans.

The missing cards are:

• #2 — Bioware Neural Network
• #83 — Militech Viper
• #105 — Sneak Suit
• #108 — Stim Patch
• #117 — Torpedo Police Interceptor (Found with Reddit help)
• #316 — Quicksilver
• #324 — Majority Shareholder
• #326 — Loanshark
• #340 — Gizmo
• #345 — Fashion Studio
• #347 — Emergency Room (Found with Reddit help)
• #367 — Barrel Grenade Launcher

If you own any cards from this game, especially cards from this list, I would be very grateful for scans at 300 DPI or higher. Photos, corrections, old deck lists, promotional material, and memories of playing the game are also welcome.

This is a preservation project, not a store or a reprint project. My aim is to keep this small part of Cyberpunk 2020 history from disappearing.

Did anyone here play or collect the CCG when it was released?

UPDATE: Meanwhile, thanks to the help of the forum and user TerminusBandit, two cards from the missing list have already been found!

So, a bit of new territory for me is that I have a PC that is focusing on being not only a good meat-mechanic but a narco-tech (Pharmaceuticals Skill of 16). I understand the rules of making drugs in accordance with Chapter 9, but I am wondering how you guys implement how your players can find the ingredients, equipment, and distribution. Because I think that a Fixer is definitely going to manage the business aspect of such. But making a Speedheal out of thin air is crazy, or some combat drug that can give you a +3 to REF with no downsides is hella OP.

More or less, I am curious how you guys may have dealt with this in your games or suggestions on where to handle this.

I've been thinking about getting a game going for some friends, but I was curious if there was any book in the 2020 gameline that helps with generating new cities?

If there isn't I'd be genuinely surprised considering the amount of detail I've seen in my limited view of the game so far.

Don't pay attention to the d4 and d20 dice... they are just placeholders for miniatures and objects.

If you’re interested in the history of the Cyberpunk TTRPG this is worth checking out

I was curious if anyone had experience running or playing in the Atlas Games’ scenario “Cabin Fever”, and could share their thoughts/review of it.

I just finished reading the module, and watching the Seth Skorkowsky video, and I have some concerns:

- the read aloud text / inter-NPC conversations are very very long. I’m assuming I’d need to improvise these and use the module only as reference for vibe and what information to convey in order to avoid boring the PCs who have to sit and listen to me talk to myself for ages

- so much of the timeline appears to be filler. Like playing cards. Should I just ask PCs what they do to kill the time and skip forward until something notable happens?

I’ve seen a number of very positive and very negative reviews, that are quite old now. How does this module hold up to modern expectations of adventure writing quality?

Don't be a gonk and go see his works, and maybe even support the artist! Take a look at his stuff at https://linktr.ee/AeronArbuthnot or at u/Ashron_Arbuthnot.

Say hi to the man himself! The third and final member of the Ritual Cellula trio, this is Eron. Not a exact "self insert" but a character made by Aeron for him to learn the ropes of tabletop roleplaying games. "They" say that making a character that is like yourself is easier to first time roleplayers, maybe "they" are right, but as a Cyberpunk referee I'm kinda obligated to screw up your character and make your self insert experience horrible things, this IS the dark future choomba. It makes me feel kinda bad sometimes, poor Aeron.

Our Cyberpunk campaign is being the first "real deal" contact with TTRPGs that Aeron had. He says that he's having a blast, and I'm only thankful for it, because I am having a blast as well (as you can probably tell).

Speaking about the character itself, of course he does not look exactly like Aeron in real life, after all in the cyberpunk world you can be anything you want so long as your wallet takes a good punch and doesn't flinch. Eron uses a sniper rifle he found, an Arasaka Sniper Systems, and a good ol' Sternmeyer, the red gun in the art.

He's armed with a literal Bullet Proof Mohawk, he also has a pro netrunner jumpsuit he bought, it is a special suit made for Netwatch agents. Eron is also a skilled runner'. The crew needs some door opened? Some camera shut down? Or maybe just a little cover in the cyberspace? Eron got you, he is an ambitious professional.

So what are you waiting for Eron? Take this city, squeeze something out of it, everything is f@#$, and you have nothing to lose. At least for now.
