Default Re: OT: The might of Pen & Paper

Cyberpunk was great at its time but it grew old a bit too fast. It's the year 2020, you can buy NMT cell phones, and with an extra cost even one that actually fits into your pocket! Yay. But guess future prediction isn't easy.

They published an updated version a year or two ago, but I got the feeling editors were lazy updating it. Capoeira for instance is still "obscure martial art" that can fool people who generally have never seen it. Right. Just go into a park on summer... Too bad, it was a fun setting and easy&fast system. Though quite gritty, headshot kills at 4 pt damage and heavy pistol does 4d6. Feeling lucky, punk?

Oh, and speaking of games that got old fast, Twilight 2000 anyone? Already on year 13 of WW3, we are.
