Cyberpunk 2020 RPG Review: Dismember yourself, become god™

currently working on writing a campaign with this system and have been watching every video possible to put off reading the book and so far i like this one the most

what is the song during the outro card of your video?

A friend had this book as a kid, I dont think either of us really knew what a role playing game was but I was obsessed with the art n the lore, just the pure imagination of it all fascinated me.

What would a Cramp urban apartment complex with 8,000 inhabitants even look like?

Very unsanitary probably.

So it’s cyberpunk..in 2020?!

Just found you, been missing this content for my whole life.

Any tips for just getting into TRPGs? I need ppl to play with but idk where to go

I really like review everything about it screams quality

I didn’t know I needed Liam Neeson explaining to me the Cyberpunk 2020 TRPG. But here I am, and I’m loving it

Red takes place in 2045, not 2077

Lifepath a con?! What?! Life path is the best part about the whole game. It changes your character from a collection of stats to an actual fleshed out character. The greatest sessions I've ever run were based using the characters life path. And to say that a lot of the Path won't get used that's all depending on the GM. Cyberpunk was the 1st game to widely use a background generating system like the life path. It stopped the deer in headlights looks that Players would give you when you asked them about who their character was and their background. TLDR The cyberpunk life path helps put the RP back into this RPG world.

actually red takes place in 2045

Red doesn’t take place in 77 you know, it takes place in the 40s-50s.

“Dismember yourself and become a god”
Sounds like cdda.

Right up my alley.

So Cyberpunk 2020, Cyberpunk Red, and Cyberpunk 2077 all connected in the same universe? Does any reference are shared in any of the games?

I know this is a year old, but just a quick clarification: Cyberpunk RED doesn't actually take place during the 2070s, but actually the 2040s in post-nuked Night City.

Ahhhh. I have never played a tabletop rpg game. The most I have done in the past is poke around with character creation on D&D Beyond. However a few weeks ago I for whatever reason started digging around for game systems and settings. As a fan of dark and I guess edgy settings, the very first thing I stubbed my toe into was Fatal. And man I wish it was good. The main issue for me is the stupid amount of work it would be to even make a character. And even now I have my sight on solo gaming. So it would be utterly stupid to waste time on that crap. BUT. I really liked Berserk. The horrific setting, brutal and unforgiving. No shits given about the worst of subject matters. And FATAL, I guess I feel it got a hint of that same setting air.
With a fair bit of work and overhauling, I could see FATAL as a game I could love. ... Although I doubt its something I would be willing to play with anything but a very close lover/wife or something.

I know it’s a much smaller game. But I’m kind of curious to hear your thoughts on a game known as Nechronica.

Wait until you find out about the rods from God and how Europe was trying to make them before the United States. These things in Call of Duty ghosts are real.

If you start reviewing RPG’s ya need to do Star Finder

This is a really fucking cool niche and I hope you make more TTRPG reviews in this style
I’d sub for this

Your description of Lifepath is really bad and highly inaccurate. Especially when you claim it is a lot of work.
It is quick and easy.
I have used the R Talsorian Lifepath in Mekton, TEFOS, Cyberpunk, and now The Witcher.
It seems you haven't actually played the system.

Honestly that introduction bit could be made into an entire animated series in my opinion

What is that intro song when the city is lighting up man that’s a jam!

Now that’s a funny VPN AD!

In “Akira battle angel”lol I love that

CP2020 was my group's goto game of choice. We had something called "The Cyberpunk Prophecies." As time went on, we started noticing the tech in the back of the book was coming true. Not all of it, nor on time, but within 2 years. Freaked us out. Also, best gun play rules. Worse hacking rules. Seriously, fuck the hacking rules.

not really suprised all cyberpunk is bullshit cause it is a system that mandates and requires collapse cause say it with me what does horrific living and personal situations and terrible management equal collapse and brutal violent uprising cause what are you gonna do eU nuke yourself? I only need to kill under a 1000 people to cripple you and when you realize this math any life span on this is ridiculous

Cyberpunk Red actually takes place in 2045, its meant to bridge the gap between 2020 and 2077.

In our dystopia, the medias lost the infowar.

but i wanna live in cyberpunk world

Great video 👏

Mafia boss Freeman damn

Man I do like hearing Karl the Deranged's voice.

now we need some 2020 roleplay stories

A comment for that dang ol' algorithm yo.

I think the next rpg you should look at is either Zweihander, Warhammer Fantasy, or the After the Bomb series.

Unless they finally came out with the 2077 conversion guide, CPRed's set in the mid years of '45.

I remember that R.Talsorian also made a Mecha Anime future for this called Starblade Battalion.

Wow great vid, keep it up. Love the Review

Damn your channel is really underated.
