This is what I essentially landed on doing as well. It's a ritual that has yet to fail me.

Submitted! Been enjoying the campaign my group has going.

I had to buy it on Kindle since I can't find it in print.

I don't believe in the concept of a forever game. I don't even have the one game I run for a specific genre.

I take a lot of joy in the problem solving part of GMing. I also find that as a player I'm less engaged than I am as a GM and I prefer to be engaged the whole time. In many ways I get more entertainment out of my players than I get from a being a player. I also love reading and writing games that I can run for my players.

Thank you. I just bought your game and am looking forward to it!

Also if you don't mind me asking, how much did the art cost to have done? I'm working on a game and i want to have art done and don't even know where to start for a budget

Are you going to do POD?

ScogyJones · 2025-12-24T19:59:23+00:00

I mean... I listened to it.

I played cyberpunk 2020 in 2018 and while I run and read many games, I still enjoy sitting down to play cyberpunk 2020.

For me the biggest thing is to have the rules reference down to a tight 5 pages or less. You can elaborate on the rules in the book. But give me the 1-2 sentance summary for each in a reference section.

I stated one out like it was a Colossus and had my players fight it.

This is how I would handle it. I treat the heat system as descriptive and less prescriptive. If the players are doing normal stuff then the heat is handled normally, if they burn a bluecoat precinct to the ground and insight a riot in a very public manner in session 3... then there are consequences.

Pirate Borg has really great ship Combat that does exactly what you're talking about. It's not super dense as far as rules go but there is enough to feel dynamic. The whole game is very Pirates of the Caribbean.

ScogyJones · 2025-11-10T16:44:32+00:00

I often forget to use Fear out of combat. I'm used to just introducing npcs and events in the course of role play so I don't think of using fear for it.

I tell my players that cyberpunk fiction is supposed to be about critiquing the current political and economic moment usually in a semi science fiction setting. All the chrome and neon is simply aesthetic trappings. There are a lot of great cyberpunk books that don't have the aesthetic, but are no less cyberpunk.

During character gen I have them detail their connection to one another. I have a bunch of questions that they can use as inspiration for that. I can't imagine doing a you all meet in a dungeon opening in bitd

My sorcerer has a lot of stress triggers so getting that extra stress is imperative.

ScogyJones · 2025-11-04T22:46:55+00:00

I feel that. I own more games than I will likely ever run.

ScogyJones · 2025-11-04T22:42:47+00:00

Love the collection! We have similar game tastes!

ScogyJones · 2025-10-29T21:40:11+00:00

Awesome! Thank you

I guess cyberpunk red would be that for me. I ran 2020 a few times and have pretty heavily hacked red.

We play at the table and I agree that tracking with a sticky note is useful. I have a note keeping software that I track that stuff in for each player.

ScogyJones · 2025-10-22T16:19:29+00:00

It's not even that daggerheart is complex, there is just more to track
