Cyberpsychos .....
So the rules say that if you reach Zero Humanity (or less!!), you become a Cyberpsycho, the Ref takes your character, and bad ... er .... worse things begin to happen. It also says that Cyberpsychosis doesn't HAVE to be "raging anti-flesh killer maniac" syndrome, rather it can be more subtle, taking the form of (likely to be ever-intensifying) standard psychiatric disorders. With that in mind, has the Ref ever let you actually play cyberpsychos, either via Humanity loss resulting in a negative total, or deliberately created that way? (There are some doctors and therapists who REALLY shouldn't be practicing in CP2020)
I did so twice, and although the games were fun, they were short lived. Not due to Carnage or the Psycho Squad, but player issues - When one is a full borg who believes he is a vampire (and is playing things careful and subtle to start), and the other is a full borg with the body of a gorilla with a fish bowl for a head that has antenna on each side, and believes he is from Gorilla City (DC Comics) .... It can be difficult to get the needed group chemistry to gel.
I did like the reaction I got when I said, "Ok, when you make your character, make them a Cyberpsycho". The answer was, "Ok" ... double-take ... "What ??!! ..... You're serious??"
So, am I the only Loony Ref to go down this road (and admit it), or has any one else dared this bridge? C'mon .... out with it .... share those tales of madness!!
