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?

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.

https://discord.gg/kafuhks - R Talsorian Official Discord has an LFG section.

https://discord.gg/FBAHuNh - JonJonTheWise’s ( a YouTube Cyberpunk2020/RED creator ) Discord also has an LFG section.

Sorry that both are Discords if you’d prefer to stay away from Discord.

Hope these help!

Good call!

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.

Seems to be this:

https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/english/currentstudents/undergraduate/modules/fictionnownarrativemediaandtheoryinthe21stcentury/manifestly_haraway_----_a_cyborg_manifesto_science_technology_and_socialist-feminism_in_the_....pdf

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 doesn’t like.

I, too, volunteer. :D

This is dope. Thanks for sharing!

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?

Not including Cyberpsychosis feels like a strong choice to me, but I think I understand it for the video game.

Kinda counter to the power fantasy of the majority of the gameplay.

I really need to lean into it more, but it’s fun the things you learn by diving into HackTheBox.eu or similar services.

I once got popped for triple digit speeds and discovered what the American jail experience is like as a result. I felt pretty punk for that, but it was probably just a bit silly. ;D

Too many hobbies and ex-hobbies to list, most with a touch of transgressive attitude.

Dope. Cannot wait for September!

Depends on your setup, but there are some pretty nice FragMaps available for free as a Foundry module: https://foundryvtt.com/packages/fragmaps-free

The official companion app isn’t too bad: https://cyberpunkred.com/#/ Easy way to generate characters and mooks. I believe the paid mobile version has some functionality for random encounters and some lore stuff.

Make sure to check out the ‘DLC’ available on the main website: https://rtalsoriangames.com/downloads/

There are some screamsheets in there that might help frame a one-shot or your first game. There’s also a few one-shots in the main book.

If you’re looking to establish something longer, the Tales From the Red book has a lot of dope multi-session missions in it.

Highly suggest JonJonTheWise on youtube for content and rules discussion.

Can dump more, so if you have any questions, hit me up. :D

How are you building it? Is it interactive?

Looks great, for sure!

I use a mix of Discord and Foundry to run my table. I host Foundry in AWS, voice comms in Discord, and a mix of a discord bot and instance-hosted media for music ( I use the media hosted on the Foundry instance for specific moods, use the discord bot for more unprepared/random music ).

I use a mix of pre-made maps and hand-made maps depending on what my duders are up to and where I’m going to drive them next.
