[QUOTE="Jaeger, post: 9110686, member: 27996"] This is all completely inexcusable given the amount of time Pondsmith says he worked on the game. There is still a enthusiastic CP2020 community out there. Would it have been so hard for him to go: [I]"Hey, been working on CPRed. Want groups to playtest the living **** out of it, and help me make it the best version of CP released to date. Who's in?"[/I] The response would have been massive. [I](Same for the Witcher RPG...)[/I] Just no excuse for R.Tal not to deliver a tight, playtested game. ^Truth^ IMHO it shows that once you have a game concept that people are excited about; Most 'professional' game designers got to where they are mostly through desire, enthusiasm, and persistence vs. actually being good at mechanical game design. Shadowrun, I'm looking at you too... ^So much This^ In my opinion; they might as well have done a "5e compatible" version of The Witcher, and cashed in like everyone else did on the boom while they could... Sad really, as there is nothing inherently broken with the underlying the Stat+Skill+d10 system. It just seems that they just can't help themselves but to bork it up if given half a chance...
