[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 8871169, member: 6779310"] That accurately describes about half the CP2013, CP2020, Tank Girl, and Shadowrun adventures I've seen... and is really beaten like a drum on SLA Industries 1E... CP as a literary genre really is heavy on the in-your-face slave to the corporate overlords themes. Both movies are pretty much CP in tone and plot... Many people playing CP, especially CP2020 or Cybergen, are not running in the CP genre, but the related but far more optimistic Transhumanist genre. Not a few groups running Shadowrun are avoiding the CP genre, making it a fantasy transhumist game. Basically, the CP games work well because most people aren't actually running them as CP. Excepting SLAI. SLAI, if running what's in the book, can't avoid the corporate oppressors motif. The chrome fetishism is what leads to the CP and Transhumanism genres developing separate identities. There still is some hardcore CP being written, but it's not focused on metalling up, but on fighting the system. [/QUOTE]
