[QUOTE="Vincent55, post: 9130599, member: 7037991"] to be honest there are better ones than this, which is playing off a video game, why not just Genefunk, ultramodern 5e: redux, you have older ones like Gurps, Shadow Run, or even Carbon 2185 and the list goes on. The question is what does this bring to the table that the others don't? Well from reading the material and going over the information in the start packet and such, really nothing. Anything that this game can do others have done it in more detail or better this is a derivative of better things packaged to sell and promote a video game. But at this point, most RPGs are just variations on older systems with slightly different game mechanics or a new gemic to make them feel new and fresh. As i said I have ran a game with the rules that have been released which are spotty at best and seem to not be fully fleshed out. On the flip side, ultramodern 5e: redux has many supplements and books and crunch to more than make any cyberpunk version you want. Just look at the 3 book set that was released recently Torus, Conestoga, and Paradise from the (Affinity) box set, or NeuroSpasta book which you could pull off a ghost in the shell very easily with. I could go on but this is just one of many RPGS that have books out some much older like Gurps (which i am not a fan of as it it way too involved and very complex in character creation) or you could just pick up say Genefuck which is one book and run a non-magic version of cyberpunk game with cyborgs and genetically enhanced humans, or mix in the 5e player's handbook magic classes as it is built on the same system with very little alteration. Anyway in the end it is completely up to you if this cyberpunk red got you into it then look around and discover that there is much more out there than just this small video game promo RPG.
