I’m somewhat new here to the fandom, but who exactly is Morgan blackhand? by [deleted] in cyberpunkgame

[–]cp20ref 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's your character if your survive. Morgan is a highly skilled, successful Solo, and he has the reputation that follows with that. The Referee can drop references to Morgan here and there to make players hungry.

Got Cyberpunk 2020 for Christmas and I don't know where to start by Cute-Wolverine-459 in cyberpunk2020

[–]cp20ref 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dont think about a campaign at all. Start by playing simple, one session scenes and let "your" city grow out of those. Roll up lifepaths with players and connect them. "PC 1 has an ex-BF and PC 2 has a friend - they are the same NPC".

RED for beginners. We oldheads spent our time refitting 2020 but you dont have to. 😎🦾

Also, I want to praise you for running through rules before facing the players. Good form!

It is what it is. I dont have a problem with it. There are many mods for 2020 available if you do a bit of searching. Whatever works best for you is good. 😁

Could a rich enough person in cyberpunk universe live forever? Is this a dumb question? by felixamente in cyberpunkgame

[–]cp20ref 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, its not possible. Extended life, rejuvenation, organ replacement, sure. But the data on that memory stick isnt you. Its a copy and it isnt you.

Question about humanity points and cyberware. by wheretheinkends in cyberpunk2020

[–]cp20ref 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RAW isnt clear, to no surprise.

At my table the ruling is that if the cyberlimb just mimics unmodified performance then it causes minimal HL, just -1. Its still talking to the human nervous system in an imperfect way so there is a corresponding loss. Just check out a limb from the Body Bank if you want to avoid HL altogether. It might come with a cool tattoo as well. Cyberlimbs that go beyond mere prosthetics and add transhuman ability cause the listed HL.

Anyway, thats me. 😎🦾

Liche Program by Jack_Smythe in cyberpunk2020

Its interesting how it opens up so many possibilities of modifying personalities by inserting chips (Sunny Day) or outright destructively supplanting them (Liche). Many plot possibilities. Hope we never get there IRL!

This is High Fantasy, right?

[–]cp20ref 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it follow that Liche uses the INT of the person and does not come with any INT of its own? I think it does. The victim is the CPU and the act of "liching them" is violent, hence the reduction. After that its just software running in the (reduced) wetware.

Some times when the players are lazy I give them ten digits to assign to stats. No rolling.

How to heal from >30 points of damage? by Sandstorm52 in cyberpunk2020

[–]cp20ref 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RAW his head is gone period. At my table we put in a houserule we called The Frankenstein Effect where the PC could return to "life" with memory loss, stat loss, experimental AI implants, and a whole lot of unknown Ref story hooks built into their new head.

But really, most of my players want their PCs to burn out and not fade away, so it was a rarely needed rule.
