@Kumakun I would be down to do beta testing! My schedule is a little weird, but I can be on nights. I love love love Cyberpunk RED and was a big fan of 2020.

I agree with @Ganymede about rules lite. Neon City is good, The Sprawl is good (though trying to adapt a powered by the apocalypse game to MU* sounds a bit painful, plus it's an old PBTA game, and it's definitely showing its age).

Newer players who aren't familiar with the source material may only be familiar with the more streamlined attribute/skill system in the video game, so that could be a benefit when doing systems work. You could even go Ares with it, modifying stats to fit the core Cyberpunk ones, then just use the proprietary system with AresMUSH.

Another option would be CY_BORG, which is a cyberpunk version of MORK BORG.

I don't think I would suggest Sprawlrunners or CBR+PNK, as those are a bit too light on the rules - and the latter is designed more for the "one last run and then I retire" kind of character.

Really excited for more cyberpunk stuff! I need reasons to procrastinate on dissertation!

Wow. I've gotten a lot of feedback. Way more than I was expecting; that's awesome. Thanks, folks.

So the overwhelming vote is for Cyberpunk Red. I hear you.
I am taking a break from writing MUSH for what feels like forever, and now I am trying out Evennia. I have made significant progress in setting up stats and skills, and once the sheet is ready, I can start inviting people to beta tests.

I'll make sure to try and keep you all as up-to-date as I can. It may be a bit between them though, just to warn. Infrastructure rarely makes for good updates (for the rest of you) I've found. :3

@Ganymede Hundred percent! I'd rather get right to the fun than build another six months for a community maybe. Neon City is good fun. I think those willing to give it a chance might enjoy it! Thanks for the feedback!

@Nessa, I've gotten really bad at logging into this place. Life hit me for a while, but thanks to AI tools, my job is nothing now - so I have loads of free time, haha!

I've recently been reconsidering Cyberpunk Red. I found a game called Neon City Overdrive that's super narrative and fast.

I'm just not sure what people want more/would work better. A rules-light system to promote RP or a crunchy title (Shadowrun 3rd, cyberpunk) I should build around.

Any feedback is amazing!

So I overcame a big challenge with development of character creation and want to post to see if there are people out there interested in helping.

Please message me here, or Kassien on the game.

@reimesu I don't think we're looking at any one person. Just the content. It's not a defense of Cobalt, per se (I have nothing against Cobalt, afaik I don't know them that well?), just a defense of the ideal in general.

@hobos

But let's be fair, just that pre-banning of @Ganymede for...what? is enough to make me wonder what other bad decisions are being made. And Macha's logs showed that a) she was being slut-shamed and b) it was a consensual log that she was being shamed for and is still being shamed for.

Pretty sure that the bad decisions aren't the ones being made here.

See, the above is good. It's proof you can point to and go, I believe this supports my conjecture that xyz. But I'm agreeing with @hobos that coming in saying 'I think X is plausible because Y, but I'm not offering any tangible proof of Y' is exactly the thing that this board used to do that was damaging. And that did seem like what @Derp was doing. It was a bit disheartening to see.

Eta: do I think that makes it okay for people to come and do the equivalent of 'nyah nyah, told ya so!'? No. But that's just distraction from the heart of the matter.

I’m not answering because I think you’ll actually believe me, I’m answering so Bess and Hobos don’t have to keep having a circular conversation with you all.

No. I didn’t TS Isaac. I RP’d all of once with him where I was acting as GM and was busy having a vampire spray other characters in the scene with pepper spray. For the record, I didn’t TS anyone on my game. Ever since people accused me of TSing a staff NPC that my character was actively plotting to kill I have stopped TSing random people and only rarely engage and only with people I’ve known for a while. Huh, it just hit me I was talking about TR but that applies to Arx too…

I’m really tired of this particular community using the fact that I engaged in sexual RP in the past to shame me or question my judgments.

The slutshaming you have going on here is all too familiar. I also have literally no idea what Derp is talking about how I have banned him from games because I wanted his TS partner, but he won’t provide receipts so idec.

Now, this is literally the last of my attention I’m giving any of you.

Just so we’re clear, @reimesu @Ghost @Derp @Ganymede Do me a favor, and don’t come around to any game I run in the future. Because you won’t be welcome.

@reimesu lol Are you for real? Calling out the action would have been “This doesn’t make sense” or “seems like an unfair banning”.

Not spinning up a whole tale about how I wanted Isaac for myself so banned one of his TS partners. Labeling me as just jealous, rather than as I said grossly distressed and disgusted by Macha’s RP.

Hilariously, Isaac, Itzak, AND Macha are all not welcome to my next project. Because they are all, in my opinion, equally problematic and toxic to the community.

The final straw for Macha was her trying to get other people to ask me for a copy of the game db for her.

ETA But I forgot it is your precious Derp who can do no wrong.

Y’all can fuck right off.

@Bessarion said in Ruiz:

And I'm done giving your dysfunctional ass attention. Just stop.

(Bold is mine) That's a personal attack. Please stop.

Lol.

But spinning a story about how I banned Macha because I wanted Isaac for myself wasn’t? Y’all some on some hypocritical stuff here.
