yah and the movie is missing 2 whole reels

as for playing in it, Im running a game right now, and Im trying to do the tech as presented, the book was a little more vague so I tend to go that route (big blue plate controls things with a touch, etc)

so far the game has gone well

actually he lost the hand in a "Aetro-oil and quick-silver" accident, I dont think it was related to the robot, the book didnt seem to mention it, and the movie was more vague...

if you havent seen it yet you mya want to chck out my page...

Metropolis

Metropolis (1926)

Outland

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man

Johnny 2.0

Webmaster

and here is my list of CP movies:

Cyberpunk Movie List

I bought it a month ago, watched it three times, and it is absolutly one of the best movies I have seen, the story is twisted, and I still havent quite figured out what is going on, but I do have my theories.

the dialog is minimal, but it is not needed, as the actions of the characters speak for themselves

I highly recommend it

Quote

Now, that Arnie seems to remake the movie - are you taking your site down in protest? ))

huh?

its almost camping weather and we now have a group that does such things, now obiously dice might be a little hard to read in the dark and next to impossible if they end up in the campfire, so Im contemplating using a standard deck of card, royalty and jokers removed for a range of 1-10.

anyone have any other ideas?

Dead Presley’s

In the 1970 - 90s it was (mildly) entertaining to watch Elvis impersonators

In the 2000s Elvis Impersonators became (more) annoying but the show went on. Impersonators formed a makeshift union to protect their interests.

In the 2010s it became a pseudo sport to hunt the impersonators down to mock and humiliate them (similar to mime attacks in the 60s & 70s). The gigs dried up and the union dissolved. Local “chapters” stayed together and armed themselves for protection.

2020 It is remains a pseudo sport to hunt down an Elvis impersonator, but they fight back now, and occasionally go on the offensive. They transformed into a violent lot and have turned to crime.

The Dead Presley’s look varies from young leather clad Elvis to Viva Las Vegas Elvis.

Most of the Dead Presley’s are armed with some sort of Pistol usually .45 automatics, and in their vehicles they have shotguns and rifles. Some stash firearms inside their guitar cases as well.

Cyberware: usually avoid cyberware unless a replacement part is needed, obvious cyberware spoils the “look”

One of the most unusual Poser Gangs to appear in Night City is not the Trekies, but the Muppets! Every member of the gang either wears a costume or has been body sculpted to match up with their favorite character.

"Kermit the Frog" is the leader of the gang, a "Muppaddict" with an extensive videodisc collection. He had himself body sculpted to match (at least facially) that of his hero. In his "former" life he worked at various carnivals and theme parks around southern California.

Fozzie Bear was the first recruit into the Muppets. Mike Ingram, an escaped con artist, managed to be in the same carnival worked by Kermit, they became good friends. When Kermit changed his style so did Mike... besides it's easiest to hide out in the open. Like Kermit, Fozzie had himself body sculpted.

Ms. Piggy is the one exception to the body sculpted/costume-wearing crowd. She is an escaped BioWorks creation, fully trained in military operations for Arasaka. She joined the gang after her escape, thinking she fit in.

Dr. Bunson Honeydew is a MedTech on the edge of a serious malpractice suit. Though his appearance my have changed, his work ethics have not. Beaker is his assistant, who became "slightly" brain damaged after one of the Doctor's (many) experiments

Sweetums, is another unusual addition to the Muppets, Like Ms. Piggy, he has escaped the grasp of his Corporate owners, but instead of being a Bio Engineered creature, he is a Sampson full conversion borg... slightly modified with LOTS of tech hair

"Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem" was a real band looking for a "hook", they found it with the Muppets and have had moderate success.

It total there are about 30 members to this gang (plus 20 or so "special guests") with a few new recruits every couple of months. Most stick with the "Muppets on ice" look, while the more devoted go for the complete makeover.

With the exception of Crazy Harry, The Muppets are a harmless gang and most only carry firearms as personal protection.

Anyone planning on using this? if so, how? Im curious

Raspberry Berets

Description: Poser gang that originated from Minnesota. All members are recognizable by the purple berets, long vinyl coats (lightly-armored), velvet pants, fake fur, high-healed boots, mirror shades, and other gaudy 80's style clothing that they wear. Most members are young Black or Hispanic men (in their teens and early 20's) who originally found out about the gang from area nightspots. If armed they will carry a small caliber pistol and or a knife of some sort, on occasion they have been known to carry light submachine guns as well.

They are not known to be a dangerous gang unless provoked and are usually the laughingstock of legitimate gangs. They can be found either cruising the more popular areas of town on their purple motorbikes or inside techno or 80's retro clubs.

Typical Member:

INT: 6, REF: 5, BODY: 5, ATTR: 7, LUCK: 4, COOL: 5, EMP: 5, MA: 4, TECH: 4

Skills: Melee: 3, Handgun: 3, Brawling: 3, Expert (Prince): 3, Motorcycle: 2, Wardrobe & Style: 4, Personal Grooming: 3, Dance: 3

Cyberware: usually nothing more than body enhancements and modifications (tech hair, etc)

(added to the edgerunner section at Rust Never Sleeps)

The book is a novelization of the movie, so movie first

Looks like Im going to have to do a little rearanging on my site, I have Westworld and outland with no place to put them on the main menu

maybe an alternate reality tab, and Ill just stick metropolis and DooM:2020 under there as well

please dont link to it just yet, as it will move to its permenant home shortly, just thought I would give you a sneak peak!

http://www.gargoyleslanding.com/outland/

if you are refering to 2013, every character STARTED with a 2 SA, and Combat Sense applied to Awareness/notice and athletics

are you looking for cannon fodder or fleshed out characters?

if cannon fodder just go to this page download CPNPC and have at it...

the core book, Dark Metropolis by Ianus and Wildside are the books I go to the most

probably beat to death:

Harder stuff

White Zombie - Super Sexy Swinging Sounds

Angel City - Two minute warning

KISS - Carnival of Souls

Alice Cooper - Brutal Planet

good cyberpunk "themed" album

Trans - Neil Young

Background noise good for ANY dark game

The Anti Group Company - Digitaria

and for the "Official" cyberpunk soundtrack goto:

Cyberpunk:Night City Trax by erich izdepski

http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/50/erich_izdepski.html

another thing I use are mod files, there are some real gems out there,and they play on winamp... my favorite are listed here:

http://www.paper-dragon.com/rust_never_sleeps/cybertrax/

there might be some events with cybernetics, but the sports we see today will be done with pure athletics, no drugs, no cyber.

"No new ideas?  There are plenty of new things to cover but I don't think much is left in the realm of new weapons or cyber."

hey now, I said "some people are running out of ideas"

I still gots lots of ideas

The more I use the material I put together for metropolis, the more I will be able to add to it

I guess another thing I should ask is... what are you looking for? some people are just running out of ideas.

updating pages takes time, and considering the amount of praise most webmasters get for their work (nil to none) Im suprized any get updated at all.  

I update mine semi-unregularly. I just finished WestWorld, Im doing some revamp work on Metropolis and Im working on Outland... plus Im getting ready to add something to Chrome X

the easiest thing I have found for a long running campaign is to have the runners work for somebody, either a corporation of a fixer on the street, having someone to report to tends to keep things moving on

one more place you might want to look at would be the Canvas Project @ http://www.paper-dragon.com/canvas/

its "mad max" meets "reality tv" it hasnt been updated in a while, but I am working on parts of it right now (Kansas & the Oklahoma tollways in particular)

I intend to run v2 LONG after v3 comes out

"As for cyberpets...

Much as I like some of his stuff, Gibson has a lot to answer for for the schlaghunds introduced in one book or That Damned Dolphin.  CP2020 jumped onto the bandwagon in one sourcebook (probably a Chrome) and decided that cyberpets were not lame."

but we already have cyberpets, granted they are crude right now, but look at the dog and cat(?) made by sony, with computers becoming more and more advanced, I can see a real acting fake dog in a few years... I would still want the real thing though
