I’m going street kid, apparently it’s the shortest intro though. Does your life path change stuff beyond the beginning of the game?

Supposedly, yes. There are characters that may only want to hook up with a particular life path character, for example.

What if we ranked the backgrounds as bands? I think Street Kid might be Vengaboys.

Honestly I’m not sure, I’d have to look at some of the lore books. I just figured if they’re bikers, then there’s meth involved or crank.

Going nomad because I’d like to take part in an anarcho-syndaclist commune in which we’re taking turns to act as a sort of executive-officer-for-the-week but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority, in the case of more major

Getting upset enough at someone to buy them a redtext for posting a lot about a video game they're excited for in a thread for that video game is a pretty brutal self own. I feel kinda bad for them :(

Real talk: if the prologues are really like 1-2 hours, I'm feeling more and more like I'm going to just play all three right off the bat and then decide based on that feeling which of my saves I'll pick to continue on with.

From what I understand the prologue as a whole is 4-6 but the life paths converge on the same spot after about an hour

that's what I plan to do

I get the feeling you only have 1-2 unique hrs until you're at the smash cut, 6 months later intro part

so like, its 1-2 unique hours followed by the above to get your complete 6

Probably the 2020 corebook or the night city sourcebook depending on if you're more interested in the setting overall or NC in particular. I haven't looked at the cyberpunk red jumpstart book, that is the intro to the new system with new lore closer to the time period of the game but I don't know how much of that is in the book vs just what you need to get a tabletop game going.

I dunno I don't think anyone has mentioned if you can get hair cuts or alter your appearance after character creation.
