Re: Adapting to a more modern/future game.

… our phones rarely live longer than 5 years with battery life substantially diminishing after 2-3 years. They’ll still work if you can connect them to an external power source — power bank, mains, generator, vehicle, portable solar array, thermoelectric camping stove, string of potatoes… As an int...

Re: Future licensed games?

Stranger Things is already a D20 5E game - no need for that on YZE […] It is not. Hasbro and WOTC released a Stranger Things-branded version of the D&D 5E Starter Set, with included adventure and pregens purporting to recreate the AD&D adventure that the character Mike runs for his mates in...

Re: Lore Concern: Rep-Detect Unit/Blade Runner Position Timeline

In the first film, Bryant explains replicants and specifically Nexus 6 to Deckard like he has no idea what they are. But does he though? Part of it is of course, as you rightly point out, exposition, but it always seemed to me that Bryant was briefing Deckard on deeper background information on Nex...

Re: Blade Runner Replicants NPC's

Roy gave that awesome speech at the end, but he stilled mercilessly killed a lot of people, so low Empathy. I think the point of Roy’s character arc — and of much of the movie’s plot, come to think of it — pivots around what in game terms might be described in that Roy’s Empathy stat pretty much ho...

Weird … I could have sworn I posted this yesterday, but apparently not:

Re: Tomas spills some secrets about the RPG

Sorry, I think you've missed it and are trying to define things too narrowly and cherrypick. … But, when you start cherry picking to say that even the sequel *produced by Ridley Scott* and meeting the most prime criteria for being canon - that is being on screen - including Deckard himself and more...

Re: Tomas spills some secrets about the RPG

But I am not sure why you'd think Roy's statement it misses the mark - since the full quote (At least in Final Cut) is: "Quite an experience to live in fear isn't it? ... that's what it is to be a slave." And then there's the opening crawl: Replicants were used Off-world as slave labor in...

Re: Tomas spills some secrets about the RPG

Interesting - I've always considered Wintermute/Neuromancer's quest to be free of the "electromagnetic" shotgun wired to it according to the Swiss accords to be the same as Roy Batty or Leon talking about wanting to be free of the imposed second-class slavery - evidence of transhumanism i...

Re: Tomas spills some secrets about the RPG

That's fair - opinions about literary or visual themes and elements are only that - opinions - and everyone can being a little bit of a different approach. I am curious - can you name any thematic element from Neuromancer that you consider "core cyberpunk" that are not present in Blade Ru...

Re: Tomas spills some secrets about the RPG

Cyberpunk existed in science-fiction long before the word existed. Isaac Asimov's "Caves of Steel" or "I, Robot" are examples. What does it take to be "cyberpunk" - simply two things: cyber- ... dealing with the interface between man and machine (more than just wetware...
