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...

A wise man once told me, "Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball," and the older I get the more I understand what he meant.

Starting last week, I am periodically redirected to the website listed below when I am here at EnWorld. This does not happen when I'm browsing other websites, and I've checked to make sure my system was up-to-date and free of viruses and malware. It occurs to me that I should have gotten a...

One of the common tropes of cyberpunk is people making use of technology in new ways that were not thought of by the manufacturer. But we currently live in an era where corporations have deliberately tried to make it difficult for end users to have control over the products they purchased. For...

As a palate cleanser, or perhaps in this case palette might be more correct, I decided to lay of the Star Wars stuff and just work on something different. This is Fishidious made by Para Bellum games who makes their miniatures out of hard plastic. What I thought was some sort of sea goblin is...

I quite liked Edgerunners despite the anime tropes. Edgerunners did more interesting things with cyberpsychosis than R. Talsorian Games did for more than thirty years.

I think the Gilded Age makes for a good cyberpunk setting. You have new technologies transforming the world, often being adapted and used in a manner nobody expected, you have a fairly large rift between the haves and the have nots, laborers working dangerous jobs were not compensated properly...

I haven't seen every Kubrick movie, but Eyes Wide Shut is my least favorite. When I saw it, I just thought to myself, "What the $#%% did I just watch?" I like 2001, but my wife is still angry I "made" her watch it with me back around 1999 as she found it to be one of the most boring in the...

Hit points are abstract representations of how much damage a character can suffer and just about any such a system is bound to be absurd when examined too closely or taken too literally. Of course in the narrative, getting hit doesn't really mean you have less luck than you did before. It...

You can buy a life sized Drizzt from WizKids for $1,500. When fully assembled he stands at a mighty 5 feet 7 inches (170 mighty centimeters), comes with a removable hood/cloak, and his two magical swords. My FLGS in Little Rock has one that stands in the corner and keeps an eye on Magic...

Look, pal! I only recently accepted the fact the Clans were here to stay and would remain a part of Battletech forever. Don't go trying to drive a wedge between me and the Clans!

Historically speaking, ammo explosions in tanks typically result in catastrophic damage taking it out of the fight. NATO tanks are typically designed to channel such explosions in a manner that makes it more likely the crew survives, but the tank is still out of commission. I imagine when the...

Honestly, who would have thought a thread about the destruction of Earth, where I keep all my stuff, would have something even sadder?

“Yes, Lord Vader, I have reached the main power generators. The shield will be down in moments. You may start your landing.” General Veers.

It should chap my hide to hear someone say they’re boycotting my country, but I can only sigh to myself, understanding your reasonable point of view.

I've had a pirate idea kicking around in my head for a bit. Golden Age of pirates, circa 1680-1700. The Devil has come down to the Caribbean looking for a soul to steal, and he's in a bind, because he's way behind, so he's looking to making a deal. So he makes a deal with the PCs, damned they...
