The review is correct. They sucked.

Feel free. Please let us know how it works for you.

I have never liked the automatically failing on a one. The latest house rule we are using is: Roll a 1 then roll again. On a 1 to 2 you hesitate, add 0. On a 3 or 4 you misstep, subtract 5. 5 to 6 you fail, no fumble. 7 is a misfire/fail and take 1 damage. 8 weapon jams/fail and take...

What makes a good player in my opinion. Player is ready to play on time. This means showing up a little early, be at the table ready to play at the scheduled starting time. Player is prepared. Has character sheet, dice, pencils or pens. Player pays attention. Is not on the phone, computer...

I just describe random things in detail. The crowd jostling them, a passing vehicle, the drones flying overhead.

My introductory adventure to one group. The group was assembled and given the mission. In order to get to the mission we had to travel to Seattle. Inquiries were made about crossing the international border. We learned what was and wasn't illegal. We decided to take a train rather than...

I do not. The way I think it works. The to hit number is calculated as normal. Short range 15. Firing 20 rounds at short range gives a -2. Makes the target number a 13. If the attacker has a ref of 6 and a smg of 5 gives them a base of 11. Rolling a 9 gives a total of 20. This means...

As I remember it, by the rules the damage does not stack. Each round is counted separately vs the SP. Any damage that gets by the SP causes a min of 1 damage. It does have to get past the SP. This could happen by each round reducing the SP by one each time it is penetrated. The .22 does...

I would say roll 1d6 9 times. Yes, that would be stopped by the lightest armor. I suggest that if someone insists on using .22 they had better be good enough to hit the target in an unarmored location.

I have stopped forgiving the stupid things that the PC/players do. No more scripted immunity. It has added to my TPK total but I am strangely okay with that.

The last game I played in was online. It was railroaded. The GM chose the roles so we wound up with 3 characters with very similar skill sets. The GM also split the party more than once leaving one of the players with very little to do for the session. The last game I ran was set in the...

Ah, yes. It has been a long time since I have read the books. We play our modified version. House ruled that the cheapest therapy was 1000 euro per session. The characters get one HL back per session up to the max they started with. This is only for skills. Getting therapy does not let...

I have had a few players go to therapy. In typical player fashion the character that went the most did not want to pay what the specialists charged. He decided to go to couples therapy instead and talked one of the other characters into posing as his wife. He never got any humanity back but...

What I do If I am introducing some new players I make up characters for them and run a few introductory sessions. I make sure to tell the players that is what is going on. If they want, later they can make up their own characters for the game. Then first go through the character sheet...

I would probably drop the damage by a die or two.

Very nice character. Good background. However, since he is using Ninjutsu shouldn't he be a ninja rather than a Samurai?

As much as I love Cyberpunk 2020 it has many problems. The fact that someone with an average body can carry 132 lbs with no encumbrance is one. The inconsistencies of later material is another. The best source for all the rules I have seen is Reference book 5...

I tend to think that getting shot always hurts. Weather actual damage gets through or not. I roleplay it that way as well. Higher levels of Skinweave are more obvious and reduce attractiveness. You can change things in your game as you like. Just be sure to think things through and be...

Right now we are playing a themed game using our modified system. It is based on the Probability Broach books. Before that I ran a game based in the Dollhouse verse. We tried a low level game but one of our players insisted on antagonizing the cops, then shooting at them.

The solution to high armor SP is armor piercing rounds. Armor piercing rounds reduce the SP by half. SP 16 is reduced to 8. Any damage that gets through the armor is reduced by BTM to a minimum of 1. Also, any time that armor is pierced the SP of the armor for the area drops by 1. Also...
