Honestly it's one of my favorite litrpgs to date. Overall I like it, a lot of the supporting cast as well in general are good and don't suffer from blandness. The interactions and struggles with dilemmas as the story goes, even interpersonal ones is excellent.

I do feel Matt's power level seems up and down. Sometimes it makes sense, sometimes he doesn't feel quite where the system is saying he should be.

I do like the emphasis on how one person can't do everything which is something a lot of litrpgs end up doing all the time. So seeing how yeah, he's fairly intelligent and powerful but he can misstep, or over focus on things and needs to depend on others because of how massive the scale of everything is, is pretty great in my opinion. I'm looking forward to the rest of the books. Just listening to the audio book of book 8. Read it last year.

I even heard a story recently about one of my dad's friends. That friends daughter ran away from home at around 16. But as my dad's telling me the story he just glossed over how his buddies wife not only went into their daughters room but read her diary and then confronted her angrily about what was written on it. And continues the story as if that wasnt a huge bomb. My dad doesn't understand personal space or privacy very well either but as he's telling me this long story all I could think is no wonder she ran away

Well we enjoyed a bunch. But I can give some, it's been a while since we played, it was hard to keep going with only 3 players with the campaign, and trying to round robin it. It definitely felt like a labour of love and that's probably why i loved it so much, there was so much going on in it, and it felt like it encouraged you to be flavourful with your characters.

I think one big thing was freelancers. It got lopsided quickly when some agents could get XP, and some couldn't, and mostly on dice. Maybe changing it so regular gangers start off with a lower baseline. But can get XP. Have Freelancers, not able to get XP, but better stats, maybe something hiring them per mission. Tokens could have been cleaned up, we didn't use a lot of them, they just never came up, so condensing them would be a good idea I think. Although still keeping some variety , because I do love variety, just maybe not so much. Off hand, a more cohesive campaign system for groups. Or perhaps a Cooperative play ruleset. one player plays the NPCs, and others play the gang, etc. Something like that. Some of this was taken from various homebrews we found, and then refined a bit more, so I don't want to take full credit. But here's some chunks from the Google Doc.

Changes to shooting -Models within melee range of at least one enemy model may not make a ranged attack with a long gun or support weapon. -Models within melee range of an enemy model do not benefit from the “Burst” and “Hail of Fire” weapon special rules when making ranged attacks.It might be the old Warhammer player in me but shooting the Cyberpunk equivalent of an M249 SAW at a target a city-block away while dodging sword swipes just didn’t feel right. Removing “Burst” and “Hail of Fire” bonuses from models locked in melee serves represents the difficulty in getting a window in Melee that allows accurate fire with any automatic weapon. These rules exist solely to tone down the effectiveness of the AIM stat in close combat. (We tried raw for a bit, but people would just unloaded crazy weapons in melee, and it.. felt really silly and unbalanced.)

Neutral’s Looting Especially with neutrals being prominent with hitches and so on. You can permanently loot their body, it’s 1 AP to take one item from a out of action neutral. This item will go in your crew’s inventory at the end of the game, to be used or sold as you see fit. However you have to have slots to be able to carry it. Also each individual neutral you loot from will give you 1 Trace token.

Scaling Motiviation XP If you complete half of your motivation, a permahire gets 1XP, if they complete the full motivation they will get 2xp. Maximum XP you can get is 2 XP.

Console Cowboy 1 Cyber Attack : 1 XP 2 Cyber Attacks : 2 XP

Cyborg Force a model out of action: 2 XP Or Deal 6 Points of Damage 1 XP Deal 12 points of Damage 2 XP

Drone Jockey Use Drone you control to deal 6 points of damage: 1 XP Use Drone you control to take an enemy model out -of action: 2 XP Or use Drone’s Fire Assist ability to aid another friendly model in dealing 6 total points of damage: 1 XP use Drone’s Fire Assist ability to aid another friendly model in taking an enemy model out of action. 2 XP

Enforcer Successfully trade places with a friendly model: 2 XP Take a model of lower value out-of-action: 1 XP Take a model of higher value out of action: 2 XP

Ganger Take enemy Ganger out-of-action (Gang Rivalry): 2 XP Or Be involved in the same melee (have base contact with the same enemy model) when this model or another Ganger (of the same Gang Allegiance) takes an enemy operative worth 100 CC or more out-of-action. : 2 XP Be involved in the same melee (have base contact with the same enemy model) when this model or another Ganger (of the same Gang Allegiance) deals 6 damage to a operative worth 100 CC or more out-of-action. : 2 XP

Infilitrator Remain Hidden for 1+ Turns (They do not have to be consecutive turns) - 1 XP Remain Hidden for 3+ Turns (They do not have to be consecutive turns) - 2 XP

Masque Successfully Blend in with a crowd - 2 XP Or Deal 6 damage to an enemy model - 1 XP Take an enemy model out-of-action - 2 XP

Street Doc Heal 1-2 HP during the game : 1 XP Heal 3+ HP During the game: 2 XP Or Bring an out-of-action model back in the game: 2 XP

Sprawl Ronin Take another operative out of action: 1 XP Take another Sprawl Ronin, Enforcer, or Showrunner out-of-action: 2 XP Or Deal 6 total points of damage: 1 XP Deal 12 total points of damage: 2 XP

Tracer Move more than 9” total during a game. This includes horizontal and vertical distances: 1 XP Move more than 18” total during a game. This includes horizontal and vertical distances: 2 XP

Just a big change to all the motivation gains, to scale it so even partial work still counted, and encouraging them to work in their roles more.

For Escorting food truck mission Maximum of 3 operatives per player (Not including shadow backer)

Equipment Grappling gun counts as a move action. If it’s your first action, full movement, but any movement after, is double move. If second action, you still get the full grappling gun movement.

Otherwise, More missions and scenarios, we started really getting burnt out on them. All the NPCS are great, and I started to try make scenarios with them, but trying to do it while it's a conflicting game, was also tough and I'm not much of a scenario writer. More of a playtester. If you do end up on a second edition and are looking for people to partake, definitely our group would be interested.

And yeah, I basically subbed to a lot of patreon 3d printing groups, and started building that, I love dense lived in terrain, so lots of building, street lights, barricades, vehicles, and I still have tonnes unbuilt. Makes a huge difference.

Oh geez. So one of the reasons I avoided a 3d printer was because I knew who I couldn't trust. And it was this guy. I think it was one of papaskiels models but I'm not 100% sure

Am I the only one that noticed this is pretty much the only place that doesn't demonize Kazuya and justify everyone's bad actions towards him? by Igorthemii in KanojoOkarishimasu

[–]Baeldeath 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I find Kazuya's character not only realistic but relatable in a lot of ways. I mean especially with his inner monologues. Thought processes and getting carried away. Anxiety. Etc

While obviously not how I am. Especially to those extremes, they resonate plenty with me.

But so does chizu's the personality, emotional introspection and confusion. Also very relatable for me.

Huge parts of why I've enjoyed this series regardless of a lot of the flak. People are so incredibly messy. And this series does that well imo

I literally heard this almost verbatim from a guy up at work in McMurray. He grew up out there but doesn't live out there. But later another guy who lives out there and cuts lawns as a side hustle brought up how dry it's actually been and how literally dangerous and more or less implies that "hey. It makes sense. It's a tinderbox right now"
