Newbie to the world wanting to understand the original game more.
Hey guys despite the topic title I do have experience playing various other pnp games, even GM'ing plenty of my own. However I brought it up in the past and recently again with the announcement of 2077, but I just can't convince my friends to play Cyberpunk. So I have had no reason to get the books needless to say.
Basically this thread exists because I want to know a bit about the setting. It seems clear cut in the wiki. Dystopian future, cybernetic enhancements, mega corporations. Alot of people oppressed and miserable, the net is like tron/that episode of futurama.
With 2077 the reason admittedly why I am excited for this game is;
1. CD Projekt Red have an amazing track record and I have become a bit of a fan.
2. Video games that successfully follow pnp rules and stay faithful (like 2077 promises and see point 1 on why I think this will happen), tend to end up being awesome (see Buldurs Gate, Neverwinter etc...).
I was hoping some kind people can give me a bit of a crash course on the necessary things to know before I at least hop into 2077 since it's increasingly unlikely I will be playing the original source anytime.
