Haven't heard that one before. What phase of the game are you in ( as in, what is your story quests right now )? What areas are killing you?
Hey everyone!
Just kicking up a thread for shoutouts for your go-to content creators for GMs, players, Cyberpunk RED, or even adjacent topics that help flesh out and enjoy a sesh.
YouTubers, PeerTubers, #hashTagsToFollow, particular patreons, anything counts.
Thanks!
Thank you for your continued efforts. :D
Time to chip the fuck up choom. ;D
In the most understanding and level headed way that I can imagine, please understand that I mean this with no malice:
This is an excellent website, I really like how it works, how it looks, etc.
The cognitohazard of this website is absolutely top-tier.
Get a better understanding of what will be needed to run Cyberpunk 2077.
To my understanding, some of the changes coming to the base game with the new expansion changes the system requirements a bit. Just as a heads up. :D
I'd argue that Government is different than Corpo in the US, but the reality is that they are more and more the same people and same practices that I don't know how much longer there will be a useful distinction, or if there is one at all anymore.
So, fuck em.
A very good piece indeed. Thank you for sharing!
I dunno man, I have a hard time giving any sort of give a shit about a world leader of the standing NATO hegemony getting a bit bullied.

Sorry that both are Discords if you'd prefer to stay away from Discord.
Hope these help!
Cyberpunk Fan Figures Out A Way to Make Screamsheets by Palasma Utilizing assets anyone can find here. Cyberpunk fans are able to easily to generate screamsheets for free that are easy to edit to share with their groups. Oh crap, you saw it coming, here is the Lorem Ipsum. Lorem ipsum dolor sit
Found this template floating around in kbin and reddit, a template for self-made Cyberpunk 2020/RED/2077 screamsheets to be hosted in Google Sites ( you know, before they find a reason to off Sites ).
Thought it might be useful to some of you. :D
Excellent points! Thanks for providing so much.
I imagine 'the punks got older and bought in' idea is probably true for a significant number of people. Certainly seen it happen.
Not terribly familiar; do you have a link or source for the manifesto ( or should I be un-lazy and see if I can find it myself ;D ) ?
Seems like Cyberpunk and Post-Cyberpunk have a similar relationship as do Modernism and Postmodernism; at least if I'm understanding the trend here.
Both take the original premise and then invert one of the core concepts. Now, I'm not super educated on art history or art movements, so please correct me if this comparison is way off base or too generalized but: With Modernism, it seems to be a way of framing the world as a series of ideals that are met or not met, universal truths that are respected or not respected. Post-modernism instead took a look at the world and said 'Yo, what the fuck is true tho?' and starts from the conceptual opposite side of the spectrum as Modernism, deciding that there are no absolute moralities or ideals.
To extend: It seems ( from your description anyway ) that Post-Cyberpunk is doing the same. "High Tech, Low Life" into "High Tech, High Life"; "High Life" being the expression I'm using to show the inversion of hope, outlook, and connection to the world around them, ya? Is this the overall idea?
Thanks for sharing and starting the conversation!
Pop the same file through VirusTotal and see what comes back. Defender will sometimes flag shit just because it performs activity that MS doesnβt like.
I imagine it's a badge of honor to be demodded in such a way.
Shadows of Doubt is a detective noir 80s-esque cyberpunk game that I really enjoyed. Setting aside, it's an exploration in procedurally-generated-everything it seems, each person's 'city' should be different than the next.
I hear some of the newer Shadowrun games are good; in particular I keep hearing about Shadowrun: Dragonfall. But I can't speak to it directly and the addition of orcs/elves/magic puts some folk off.
Not quite -punk-, but Uplink is a fun game about global scale hacking ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/1510/Uplink/ ). Does not require any actual knowledge of hacking and teaches all of it's mechanics in game, so don't worry about learning curves too much.
Oh man, let us know how that project goes. Have you done much transmit with the SDR, any tips/tricks for someone looking to expand from RLT-SDR into HackRF?
In an attempt to have a hand at real life cyber+punk, it might be interesting to take a look at SDR.
For just a handful of dollars, it's possible to get some pretty cool receive-only tools. Within a few hours of exploring the possibilities, I was able to find the local police and emergency services bands ( though, most of the channels were encrypted ).
On the same equipment, tuned to plane transponder frequencies, and now you can watch nearby aircraft traffic.
I'm by no means any sort of expert on this, but it was interesting to dig in and discover what information you can mine from the air.
Have any of you worked with tools like these? Maybe even dabbled in radio technology in general?
Background: My table wanted to run as a Trauma Team group. For now, I'm playing it off as 'part time contractors' for Night City's Trauma Team ( I don't know how much this makes sense in-lore, but the players love it ).
Below is my personal notes for a one-shot that the team has completed now. This can be self-contained, but there are hooks for longer run scenarios in here for both player and GM to utilize.
---
"The Time of The Red" points to a time after the nuclear explosion in Night City. For years after the fact ( and even sometimes now ), the clouds and fog would have a red tinge to them; from fresh blood to old rust, this tinged smog and smoke defines the era.
Following this, it should be of no surprise that there have been a variety of aftermath-related illnesses: Rises in cancer rates, respiratory diseases, birth defects, chronic neurological conditions, you name it.
As such, there's always money to be made in clinics and pharm.
That makes this an interesting offer. Internal job boards at Trauma Team show an 'endorsed external activity' ( or maybe a fixer brings it to them, whatever ): A clinic has been selling stolen pharm, shut it down and recover any company gear, tools, or pharma.
The clinic in question is seemingly unnamed, at least on any official documentations. It used to be a small dentist's office, back when that was a thing. If the party digs around locally, they'll jokingly call it the Dentist from time to time, but more frequently, simply "Oh yeah, Steve's place."
Steven Hood is the owner of the clinic. He has several assistant medtechs and techs alike.
Steve's place does indeed have stolen gear and pharma, even some TT labelled shit still. In the storage area, large quantities of several common place medicinal pharma can be found, clearly marked. Behind some locked doors, however, the real deal is shown: They are using these pharmas and equipment to create a production line of a new drug.
You see, Trauma Team and BIOTECHNICA and all those corps: They know exactly how to cure one of the many respiratory chronic conditions out there. But that's not terribly profitable is it? The clinic produces an actual cure, they do so by stealing shit, running a process, and then selling it to their clients.
If interviewed / hung out around long enough, clients will talk to each other and share stores of people no longer needing to treat 'Gravel Cough' ( a chronic condition that makes people sound gravely-voiced, coughs a lot; this is not a in-lore thing, just a minor condition created by me for the purposes of framing the drama of this arc ). MedTech with medicine DV15 would know that's not supposed to be possible.
Dr. Hood is dodgy if confronted, either about stolen goods or his feat of curing Gravel Cough. He's clearly nervous and trying to simply get the Party to leave to make room for patients. Why is he dodgy? There's a Media in the back right now, recording footage of the process, making a mini-documentary on the process so that they can go public and shame BIOTECHNICA about not curing this, and spread word about the available cure.
