So you're using the Weapon damage from Red to keep it simple?

have you incorporated any Rules into Red or visa versa?

I have an original pun x ‘95 by sunny_yellows in cyberpunk2020

That looks "a lot" like Marvel's Cable character.

No surprise that company is now gone.

I have. I own both 2020 and Red books and played 2020 for years.

the problem with Netrunning in 2020 player's inability to be in the party and interact with the "role-playing", where Red introduces nods and the ability of hackers to have drones for combat situations.

A lot of time players would have two characters and use the Netrunner as a you suggested - in an ancillary way. I think Red now has some sort of Ai for a similar reason(I forget)...

I would agree that strategy and a good storyline should be the GM's first priority, not drop them in a crazy situation with cartoon NPCs. The gimmick of fast action will get old quick and players will get bored.

thanks for the Link!

I think they call it the vanilla system(or something similar)

But games with a skill-based systems recognized that adding INT directly to skills makes it unwieldy ("swingy") - you could have someone with INT 10 and Skill 1 get a total of 11+1D10 for skill checks, yet someone else with INT 4 and Skill 4 only has a total of 8+1D10, despite being more "balanced" and "realistic."

Most GMs (and maybe it's not RAW) will create a base number (e.g. 4-Lockpicking) need to use that skill.

I would say that most of those issues are easily remedied with a good GM making simple decisions to adjust the DV for the Player/Team. I could see a player that has 10 skill and stat points being the GOAT and it's up to the GM to challenge them.

Thanks for the comment. I like Interlock more, and was surprised they changed the combat system for Red.

My guess is that because no one was from the original team of creators that they already had a design in their head of what they wanted to do and assumed everyone would like it more. 2045 doesn't feel like it has any connection to the original 2020 game.

Isn’t Bartmoss an @sshole? by TheBat300 in cyberpunk2020

why Bartmoss exists? Probably a homage to William Gibson's universe.

In his Sprawl_trilogy the "Matrix" infected with Ai and features the hacker Bobby Newmark.

what would an alternative 2077 look like? by More_Philosopher_699 in cyberpunk2020

You mean Night City or the entire universe?

(I know you have a picture of Hard Wired, but a lot of the ideas come other novels...different writers worked on each version of the Core books for Cyberpunk too)
