Anyone have D20 Cyberscape?

Does it detail full cyborgs? (ie: Only their brain is not artificial)

There were rules for that in one of the most recent D20 Star Wars articles. I wonder if there was some cross-pollination going on there.

That concept was previously presented in CyberGeneration nearly 10 years ago. Real nasty concept once devious players started abusing it, doing things like digging pits and covering it with a photorealistic virtual overlay, so anyone not jacked in would avoid it, but those foolish enough to travel the real world with a virtual connection running were easy pickings... Turned netrunning into pseudo-magic, too.

ah, ok. well i must say that i have never encounted cybergeneration in any shop. it looks like it came and went again without much fanfare...

still, the big issue is syncing vr actions with real world actions...

Are the new cybergear pieces balanced? (Eg do they all cost one "slot", or is there some variance.)

There are some rules in the beginning of the book about balancing and they cover a few different ideas

Kind of ... there is a mod that does it and it works well ... but if you're looking for something closer to a Rifts Borg, then no Though I think a Borged racial structure or class would be a neat web enhancement ... also the cyberwarrior covers ideas akin to a full borg

 

[(Psi)SeveredHead]

Is there a web enhancement for this out already?

Ouch. I already heard some of it on a certain other board. Man that sucks.

You might want to try my cyborgs PDF that's designed around the future SRD/D20 Future. It includes the assault borg class (and the cybersoldier and cybernetic psi-soldier classes plus more cybernetics and feats).

Actually, that sort of thing shouldn't be too common in SR4. Most folks don't use full sensory immersion mode, and it's easy enough to set up your Commlink to reject "spam" signals. Combined with a good firewall to help prevent hacking, you'd basically have to mess with a person's AR signal on a one-to-one basis. In combat, you're better off just hacking it to send a signal to their guns that says "eject all magazines" or somesuch.

a thought just hit me. the new shadowrun system have in my view shown the future of cyberspace. basicly its augmented reality or AR. its a computer generated overlay over the real world.

GURPS Transhuman Space also features an agumented reality. Very cool. Too bad it's not D20.
