The Gaming Den

My take: Rules-wise it seems out of the 80s, which is not what I want from a game these days. Setting-wise I find this flavor of obvious cyberarms and obvious dirty streets too retro and generic. I would rather have something more nuanced, like Android Netrunner or something.

Anyone excited?

I'm a bit excited because it's doing more than most TTRPGs are doing nowadays and it's more Cyberpunk. But CP2020 is one of those RPGs I grew up with in the home so I'm slightly biased.

The rules seem a bit overcomplicated for a modern game, but they don't look TOO bad. I mean, I personally dislike armor degradation, but it looks ok so far.

Bonus points for NOT doing what CGL did with Shadowrun 6e and saying "oh-ho, we nerfed combat characters because nobody was having fun in combat if they weren't combat characters!" and touting that as something GOOD.
