It gained a reputation as being a TPK game, but I doubt it was the system's fault. Eventualy we started naming charatcers by drawing a random crayon from a box (Mr Burnt Sienna, for example,) and had plenty of spare character sheets just in case. If we didn't have at least one case of cyberpsychosis by the end of a campaign it was considered a failure. <br><br>I've run it with other groups as a much starighter game, but i still fondly recall those crazy mixed up games. Something about C2020 lends itself to over the top zaniness.BlUsKrEEmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05050270487818381832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-4890409695467792522012-05-19T19:21:16.254-04:002012-05-19T19:21:16.254-04:00We had a blast playing Cyberpunk games.

I really disliked the whole magic element in Shadowrun, however.

My character was a Solo with wired reflexes, smartgun link, and that funky cyber eye. His name was Speed. I was the only one (besides the GM) who had ever roleplayed. The other guys thought they knew real world guns so they equipped their guys with Glocks (of course). When the first firefight broke out Speed's wired reflexes kicked in and in a blink I'd ripped my .50 Desert Eagle from underneath my army jacket and shot a guy in the forearm. It entered near the wrist and tore him a new ass all the way to his elbow.<br><br>The other guys wanted to retool their characters on the spot.
