You're absolutely correct. The only penalty was skills connected to Empathy were more difficult to roll successfully. But then most people who made low Empathy characters didn't tend to put a lot of points in those skills anyway. Edgerunners was the first time I saw anyone do something...

It's certainly much easier for us to be stuck in our own little media bubbles these days. I'll certainly concede that I might not have any clue about something that's widely popular. Back in the late 1990s, my soon-to-be bride was shocked when I told her I had no idea who Conway Twitty was. I...

Unfortunately I don't have enough experience with them to make any kind of recommendation. The $20 kit I got from Amazon was intended to be a proof of concept test. i.e. Do I think I could do this? The test was successful and I'd be willing to get some more templates. Goblin Hobbies charges...

Goblin Hobbies. I only got the idea because I saw Goobertown's video on YouTube. Instead of ordering their expensive template, I ended up ordering a stamp kit for about $20 which I thought was reasonable for an experiment. It turns out to work fairly well and it's a godsend for those of us...

I bought a regular nail stamper from Amazon and have experimented a bit with those. There are a lot of nail templates that are entirely appropriate for miniatures with the biggest problem being finding the appropriately sized template. A lot of your smaller miniatures are difficult to use with...

Back in the day, all my BTech miniatures were different colors. None of them looked like they belonged together.

I consider something to be a hit when it becomes well known and popular. If its well known and unpopular it's not a hit.

Once your character's Empathy drops to 0 in CP2020 that's it, the player loses control of the character due to cyberpsychosis. At the base, Humanity is equal to a character's Empathy score multiplied by 10. i.e. If you have a 5 Empathy your Humanity is 50. When you lose Humanity due to...

CP2020 could be somewhat difficult to fit every role into a group. Back in the 90s, I think I only saw someone play a Media once, and I'm not ever sure about that. Last time I ran a campaign, I told every play they were orphaned during the Orbital War. They spent a few years together as...

A little something different before I go back to Star Wars. What I wanted to work on primarily was my glazing skills for skin. Since I was also painting leather, and what is leather if nothing else but flesh that's socially acceptable to wear, I thought I'd try glazing those as well. And then...

They look good...but those gaps!

Cyberpunk 2020 had Protect & Serve which was a book dedicated to running campaigns with the PCs as law enforcement officers. There are a lot of different cyberpunk stories to tell and corporate employees, cops, street rats, hackers, gangers, hire killers, organized criminals, etc., etc. all fit...

Here you go...

I've been thinking about your post, any theories as to why cyberpunk games don't scratch any itch for you? When I was younger, most of the cyberpunk games I played in followed a pattern very similar to D&D. Do job/quest. Make money. Buy better equipment/skills. Repeat steps 1-3 as...
