Other cyberpunk resources

I didn’t find any thread for more general cyberpunk resources, so I just started this one. Just post links if you find anything you like.

Here you can find a lot of useful stuff: https://www.randroll.com/cyberpunk_gene ... guide/amp/

Most of it could be useful also for a Bladerunner game.

Re: Why only a Blade Runner character

When you put all the stuff together, I think the canon timeline will stretch over more than 100 years in total. ...and it would be great if Ligan could compile that in expansions to make that whole period playable! Sure. Another possibility is to first make it a forum thing. This could be a good st...

Re: Why only a Blade Runner character

What Vader just said about toolkits is correct. Still, I would also add that toolkits provide a different and often more effective way to present setting information. You get a 1D10 (or any other dice) list of options instead of a longer narrative. Toolkits are common in OSR games. Speaking of timel...

Re: Why only a Blade Runner character

Of course, it's up to each GM or group to make their own canon. That goes for any game or setting. Still, what's written in printed text will get a certain status.

Re: Why only a Blade Runner character

A detailed timeline and the ability to easily tailor a scenario or campaign to any time between the films would be very cool. Well, you could also make the opposite claim: a very detailed timeline would make the Bladerunner canon too limited. It will be easier to play the game in the ”wrong” way. D...

Re: Why only a Blade Runner character

You could expand on several aspects of the setting. I’d focus on the corrupt LAPD, both the presincts and the huge HQ. You could probably do a lot with that, no matter if you play as Bladerunners or not. Just fill the HQ with secrets, corruption and struggle for power. There is plenty of inspiration...

Re: Why only a Blade Runner character

It's probably supposed to be a game about Blade Runners. Well, obviously. But you should be able to do other things with the setting too, right? I know some future products have been mentioned, but I think the basic rules should give us some more stuff to work with. As I said, this is (or should be...

Re: Why only a Blade Runner character

Listen to Ridley Scott and how he describes the first movie. It’s a Marlowesque story, inspired by Raymond Chandler’s detective stories. If you don’t get that, you don’t understand what Bladerunner is. It’s a neo noir story put in a dystopian L. A.. The film noir tradition is rich and diverse. Of co...

Re: 2037 Default Setting Date

So if we return to the actual topic, what could we expect to include in a 2037 setting? I’d say several things from both movies, but also stuff from the comic books. I think it would be quite easy to list things.

Re: RPG campaign ideas for Alien and Blade Runner

Well, I’d rather say that it’s better to make L. A. interesting enough so you don’t need to go off world. You could work with backstories that have a off world connection, just like in the first movie. However, I’m quite sure many fans will continue to ask for off world supplements, so they might c...
