Any good Scifi+cyberpunk rpgs?

Again, I feel that Blue Planet is not a cyberpunk game, but is the first groundbreaking* Transhumanist game. As I feel transhumanism is a reaction to cyberpunk, it is my opinion that transhumanism can't be cyberpunk by definition.


* and by groundbreaking, I feel I am totally understating my case. Brilliant piece of work.

http://www.chimeramag.com/articles/features/Cyberpunk3.html some info on Cyberpunk V3, I totally dislike what they did.

It sounds like it was heavily inspired by Alastair Reynold's Chasm City. A great book and very much in the same vein as the new CP setting. Although Chasm City is set on another planet in the somewhat distant future.

Yeah, my name's plastered in that book -- I had so many jobs on it I left out some of my own credits. It was a lot of fun even if it took years from concept to release.

Roughly a 50/50 split.

Thanks for the info. Its on the list.

Sorry Phil. Check out the Discworld thread as to why I'm boycotting the powered by GURPS games. Well, that and I actually have no knowledge of Hellboy beyond the movie which I saw late one night.

Aka - the middle of nowhere.

Yep,

Halfway between Ottawa and Montreal is pretty much nowhere. I was hoping it was closer to TO so I could beg, borrow or steal a spot at your game.

ummmm....Cyberpunk 2020's Deep Space?

There's some good stuff in Near Orbit and When Gravity Fails, too. Still, they're all too old for the OP's specs, I believe. Pity.

LOL. Yeah. Deep Space, WGF, and Near Orbit aren't the cup of tea Technowraith was looking for. I was just trying to make it look like i wasn't thread-stealing!

Sorry Hellhound, Mekton Zeta is NOT Fuzion, its good olde Interlock. How I wish that Mekton Zeta were converted to Fuzion. The others....you are correct on.

Guess I'm becoming a Fuzion guru now

hmmm....Fuzion Guru. Sounds like the name for a apocalyptic priest or something.

For me SF-Gaming is still Spacemaster (2nd Ed.) coupled with the "Dark Space"-Sourcebook (which is brilliant IMO) - yeah, lot's of tables, but i'm a geek, so what....

Second is non-D20 Fading Suns.

What i plan on doing sometime is to give the Fallout RPG a try.

Hmmm, HH, if you've made that argument before, I haven't read it. It's an interesting thought process, and one I'm willing to lend more credit to than my initial reaction might be (since I'm not generally a cyberpunk fan, and I do love BP). I'm not sure that BP's the first transhuman game, either, but do please tell me more about how you define that genre, and why it's a reaction to cyberpunk specifically.
