    Note to Cyberpunk RPG Authors

    I just wanted to draw that out into its own post, so that it's not just buried in another post. Attacking Mongoose in that comment probably was going over the line of manners, for which I am sorry. I could, and should, have made my point without that jab. (I would still recommend against...

    Note to Cyberpunk RPG Authors

    Note to Cyberpunk RPG Authors

    I just finished reading a review of "OGL Cybernet", and found myself instantly disappointed. Something all authors of Cyberpunk supplements (and even cyberpunk game masters) should remain keenly aware of: "Loss of Self/Essence/Sanity" is _NOT_ a key part of the Cyberpunk genre. It is debatably...
