I think most players will lean towards that, but good to have it out there. This isn’t a game for being cautious, but for raising hell. This is gonzo 80s action, act like every Emilo Estevez character ever. I don’t remember there being any rules or benefits for following fashion trends.
I assume if someone’s agreed to play this game, they’re on board with their character looking the part. How does this matter with a TTRPG that’s narratively driven, I’m not sure. Because as said earlier, this RPG is inspired by eighties action movies, and while a few of those had downer endings, more often they ended like this: ĬP2020 gives three tips to how you should roleplay your character. Sure the odds are stacked against you, but it can be done. One thing I think that separates CP2020 from other nineties RPGs is that there’s an emphasis that success is possible. Basically in the future of 2020, everything is fucked, and your character’s goal, whether it’s out of romantic idealism or as an side-product of just trying to survive, is to unfuck it. The book gets right to the point of who Cyberpunk characters are and what they should be attempting to accomplish. *ahem* our first chapter is titled “Soul and the New Machine”. Oh that’s probably another reason why liked this game. So cracking open part on- “Come play Cyberpunk, m’Cyberlod”
Those details are in the back of the book, along with advice for running the game, a sample adventure, and a layout of Night City, the presumed home base for the PCs. One thing I like is that it gives just enough details about the world that you won’t feel lost, but doesn’t bog down on exact details.

The first part is the rules, how to create characters and run the game.

Basically if you can name a 80’s movie set in the Dystopian Future, CP2020 tried to make room for it. And Blade Runner, Robocop, The Warriors, The Running Man, etc. But it was also the game to play Escape From New York. This was the RPG for playing William Gibson’s Neuromancer. The art and quote on the cover let you know right away what this game is about. The quotes were colorful, but they never went so overboard with in-setting slang that you couldn't follow what was happening. One of CP2020’s selling points was the art and in setting quotes did a lot to convey the setting. Time to see what I remember, what I’ve forgotten, what I never realized, and decide how it all holds together It’s been a long time since I’ve looked at the core books or its supplements. I didn’t follow the character creation rules admittedly - I wanted that Dragoon now, and damn the cost, whether Euros or Humanity! Basically, it was a weird form of fanfiction for me. I loved reading about how great each thing was, and I loved making characters that would use them and picturing that character with that equipment. The big attraction was the gear porn - seeing all the guns, cyberwear, and cyberdecks. I only played it a few times, but between then and leaving for college I collected a lot of Cyberpunk books. My cousin introduced me to Cyberpunk 2020 when I was 12.

Yeeah, great advice.Support, Antagonists, and Shittier Versions of Existing Classes There's apparently another skill they suggest using called "Kith" which is what you have if you're not a Nomad as a role and describes your rank in the pack/group/whatever and is played as a weaker version of Family - you can do similar things, but it's more difficult.īut this is also the same sourcebook that pretty much says that Nomads don't really play well with other character roles, and you should just run an all-Nomad campaign if you want Nomads (page 69, Neo-Tribes "Nomads in an Edgerunner Campaign") because Nomads should be the focus of the game. This is discussed in the Nomad role book Neo-Tribes. The leaders of a Nomad pack could have Family skill if a large part of their role in a Nomad pack is to lead it (officially or unofficially), but nobody else should. It's not, and neither is "nomad" - roles should be about what your role is in the group, not the group itself. It's like saying "American Citizen" is a character class. I've long felt that Nomad role in 2020 was kind of a mistake.
