This is one of the better explanations of the cyberpunk world that I've seen, bringing in a political aspect of the things, and a societal one...

I should make all my players read that---

Hm, for an anime marathon we'd have to decide upon some good series to watch... Preferably a few I haven't seen yet...

Suggestions: Gasaraki, Ehrgeiz, The Irresponsible Captain Tylor... that should keep us busy for the weekend.

you should have seen their faces when i explained they were detained to bed by the doctor, and what a catheter is. *looks nastily blank*

ah, thanks a lot then ^_______^ *happy-face*

someone once said it depends on the combat... but that might be the rule for D&D... say for example you are battling a rat and you're high level... the outcome is certain so you may as well just let them win. on the other hand, if it's mortal kombat let the dice tell, because it makes the outcome uncertain..

i killed off two PC's today... they were clumsy enough to get locked in a storage room on the lower levels of a sinking ship... sometimes i wish they could be wise enough not to try to intimidate the captain whose boat they're trespassing on while on the middle of the ocean.

hadn't they been clumsy i hadn't been forced to kill them... anyway, i made a LUCK roll and they failed utterly. I rolled the dice again and let them survive because they looked to sad and it's the first time they're roleplaying outside of computers both of them so they're bound to make awful mistakes... they did have to recover hospitalised though.

tell me, am I too nice?

the thing about all kinds of intimate interaction with people is that it makes you want to hang yourself

i can't understand what's wrong with the morally depraved world we live in where people seem to no longer have any form of decency in their bones. me, i'm decent, me, i'm utterly revolted by the thought of skin against skin. i don't touch people's hands, unless i like them a lot.

isn't it unlikely that they got around to creating a new park out of an area where they ahd previously dropped napalm?

but then again, wouldn't there be anything better to drop on the area rather than napalm by the time we are speaking of?

ah, nothing wrong with visiting Norway, given that I'm allowed inside the country (what with me being underage and all I'm not sure whether I'm allowed to travel between countries as I like).

I'm trying to find this really good thing that Neil Gaiman once wrote as advice for authors. it made a major impact on me... However, I'm having trouble finding it..

It's not because I thought of it specifically by reading your story, but generally because people often make the mistake not to heed the thing so it's always good advice. It went something like.

ah wait... got it.

Hm, but if Cyberpunk 2020 is set in an overpopulated world, aren't New York style cities bound to be more common? So in that respect, just lots of skyscrapes and that.

Which brings into mind city complexes: large buildings underneath which lie cities, or inside, or what you're saying...

so: a) be picturesque

b ) plan really well and prepare

c) make sure you done all of the above

What about pornography/paedophilia? You have as yet failed to bring up this topic, as I see it.

Ah, fopr dungeons and dragons I used to do entire cities with living blocks and that. In theory, I could have been a good DM, but was nervous ^^;; Tie Athan is my masterpiece *brags*

The gang-wars = good

Incoherence as far as plotline goes = bad

Esacflowne the movie is better than Akira. Basically, very many anime films are better than Akira (Laputa, Hotaku no Haka, End of Evangelion/Death and Rebirth).

And everybody: See Cybercity OEDO 808, if for nothing else then for the wonderfully 80'sish display in music and voice features.

what scale is the map drawn in?

I can't help but wondering; all these people (dana and Spudfairy) whose names have been mentioned, they're all old bad guys, ne?

Anyone who's got an objective opinion about whether the 2001 version was better than the old one? I've only seen the old one.

I think I'd rather not be.

The worst things with guide lines are that they aren't actual prohibitions of things. And you know that it's up to you whether you are going to make an effort out of it or not, butpeople will eb seriously disappointed if you don't. THen you identify a specific occasion where you know you broke the rules real bad, and it eats you from the inside >.< *has slightly neurotic tendencies*

*peers slightly*

The movie has a lot better ending than the manga has. At least in my opinion. Though the movie has too little of the original plot in it. It would have been better as a series where more of the actual happenings could be included.

And yes, I just suddenly felt like dragging up a post from the past. It seemed romantic in a way.

let's retard:

Press attention and money are almost always equivalent. I could join talk shows and tv shows and that. And then the money would just sort of appear. And vaporise again I have made up my mind to get a complete Cyberpunk library. It's going to take a while, and some money, but hey, Go Me!

Haus Arafna suffices as far as Noise goes.

This topic is seriously heading towards "them who is against us" and "them who is with us". Where "us" is the all time fabled US of A.

It feels as if we're just slagging each other off. We pretty much know what everyone is thinking by now, don't we?
