She also called me out earlier on the fact that I drew all the guys all hesitant and all the ladies all confident, which is like, a perfect look into my ruined psyche lol. Fortunately I still have other drawings to go, so I can consciously avoid that going forward.

Do you like cyberpunk RPGs? Have you ever said to yourself "I wish someone would make a cyberpunk RPG based on...Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition?" No? Well too fuckin bad because Carbon 2185 is here to answer your unvoiced prayers, giving you all the things you could ever ask for in a cyberpunk game like: -Random loot tables, so you know how much pocket change that hobo you murdered was carrying -Six whole classes, two of which are variations on fighters -Detailed economic systems, so you know how many hobos you need to murder to buy a new cybergun -A wide array of legally distinct pregenerated cyberish punky characters for your playing enjoyment such as: quote:SFPD Retirement Office: Patrick Decker -A setting that looks like someone took Blade Runner and Deus Ex and threw them into a blender

I relate to the girl in the cover art in the sense that I was also bored and waiting for something interesting to happen as I read the project description.

I appreciate that their logo, and the only graphical element on their limited-edition cover besides the title (and a translation of the title into Japanese because cargo-cult cyberpunk trappings), is a particularly ugly, chunky gun. I look forward to pages of those loving things, each with loving illustrations and tiny modifications to their stat lines, with one of them being the obvious best option and the rest being worthless filler. Cyberpunk gaming!

Can't help but notice a render of dice, but no rules preview. Cyberpunk as gently caress.

I was with Kai Tave through the first five words, but then there was a very sharp drop-off.

I mean  at D&D5 cyberpunk, I'm about meh'd out on that and Cthulhu stuff. The Original Characters are pretty funny.But that limited edition cover mockup is shockingly dreadful.

Had an interesting twitter conversation with her and April Daniels, author of Dreadnought, about what the total lack of trans representation and the assigning of The Power to genetics rather than endocrine stuff the in her book means in-universe. (It's not good.) (also yes this is my way of bragging about the cool people i know)

Twitter is weird. People seem to like me there for some reason. I think it's because I need more than 280 characters to properly aim my foot into my mouth.

Man a proper satisfyingly crunchy Cyberpunk RPG would be great. Infinity from Mophidius is probably the closest even though its a bit more on the space opera side than I’d want for a cyberpunk game. Interface is fine I guess, Even people who like Shadowrun tell you to run something else, maybe Cyberpunk Red will be good.

I played Star Wars FFG on and off in a 5 year campaign, character got to 1800 exp. The system is crunchy but fairly flawed, has a lot of broken core gameplay.

It was the portrait that gave our artist the most trouble, cause they've never had to draw anything like a were penguin before, but I'm p proud of what they pulled off here. I posted a sort of mockup of how all the portraits will look in the book, if anyone wants to see the rest - https://mobile.twitter.com/SandyPugGames/status/1085919610212417537/

Andi did a slightly more extreme version of that one that we ended up toning down but I love the effect. Fun fact that's Jon Gilmour, designer of Dinosaur Island. He apparently really dug Orc Stabr and was ground floor on this.

Infinity from Mophidius is probably the closest even though its a bit more on the space opera side than I’d want for a cyberpunk game. At some point soon after I finish Flying Circus one of the smaller games I'm going to be putting out is Dis/Connect, a retro-y d100 percentile cyberpunk RPG set in the distant year of 2011 which is basically a Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex producing game. It's got the structural DNA of modern storygames but the stats and action are treated like a more old-school game. Also it replaces the traditional Humanity meter with a creeping sense of dissonance with the world around you (so both seeing/doing awful things & seeing the ways that technology has detached you from regular human experience causes it). Basically, instead of a sanity hit points meter that makes you go murderous when it runs out, it treats that idea like depression, anxiety, and even dysphoria, and the solution is literally to have rambling philosophical discussions about your problems with the team as you wait on stakeouts or for the hacking to finish. And its set in Darkest Toronto. (I ran it at Metatopia 2018 and it was probably the best game I ever ran) open_sketchbook fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Jan 22, 2019 |

So after around six months of silence, Timothy Kleinert has made a backer-only update post for The Mountain Witch where he apologises for the massive silence, explains that life got in the way ("delayed by both legitimate and not-so-legitimate reasons"), says the money is still in a bank account largely untouched, and that we're looking at a 4-6 month pushback on the completion dates. The comments are mostly positive, some people wondering if this is just because of the people reporting to Kickstarter that the project was abandoned, some telling him they'll never trust again, etc. I am cautiously optimistic but I also just expect these things will be done when they're done as opposed to demanding the estimated schedule be kept to exactly.
