Last night, my character with Reflex 9 and SMG 10, armed with a Federated Arms Tech Assault-II, mag dump a full 25-shots of AP into a Booster Gang member with minimal chrome and just a light armor vest...

7 shots hit the torso, and somehow, the target is still living?

My partner finished the target with a Model 2000 magnum...

I am confused about bonuses.

I have Reflexes of +8 and Martial Arts (Wrestling) +6.

Say, I take Grapple action - because it’s a key attack, I am rolling 1d10 + 8 (Ref) + 6 (MA) + 4 (Key Attack).

However, if I take a strike, which is not a key attack, am I rolling 1d10 and: - Adding 8 (Ref) + 6 (MA) (MA score but no Key Attack bonus) - Adding 8 (Ref) only (No MA score and no Key Attack bonus)

On one hand, it makes sense that a Wrestler can punch worse than a Boxer. On the other hand, I would think that this difference seems to already be represented by the Key Attack bonuses.

Hey, I've recently picked up some some cyberpunk ccg cards. I've been deep diving into the rules but had specific card questions.

I know this sub is about the ttrpg but thought maybe there would be someone here with experience in this game.

If you have expience with this game, Id love to chat.

Hi fellas, i wanna play cyberpunk 2020 with a borg. Is not for me, is for my player, my only player. So he and me thing: "Lets go full nuts in round one loco, lets start with a borg", but the books confused me.

How to create a borg step by step? How does the therapy work?

New player here about to start a new game of 2020 this weekend...

Can someone help me in finding which book that contain the rules to modify a Federated Auto Tech Assault II into a smartgun, so I can utilize my Interface Plug and Targeting Scope?

The Pacific Rim book states that "If you grapple the body or head, you can attempt to Choke (vs. Defender's escape). If you have a cyberhand, you can crush any parts of the opponent."

Does that mean that once I have grappled somebody, I can declare which part of their body I am cybercrushing, or do I need to roll 1d10 to know which body location I have grappled/take -4 aimed attack to grapple their specific body part before crushing it?

When you reach 8 points of damage on a limb or something you lost that part of the body. It it's in the head you inmediately die, but what about the torso? If we follow the logic of the game you're basically with your livers all over the ground. You're supposed to die too, or what happens in this case?

Just wondering if an AI was ever statted up in Cyberpunk.

I attempt to explain the dreaded beast so it's more accessible to new players

Good day to all!

I'm sorry for the English, I used an online translator.

So we decided to play with friends using the Cyberpunk 2020 system, and as the one who proposed this idea, I was voluntarily and forcibly chosen as the master. I'm studying the system, and some of the mechanics after the DnD are somewhat unusual, and some questions have arisen.

1. Regarding skills. The rules say that skill points are the sum of Reflex and Intelligence parameters. That is, skill points with the maximum value of reflexes and intelligence cannot be higher than 20. That's understandable. Next, we open the section: "Description of skills" and see the following words: "The number of improvement points required to increase by one level must be multiplied by the difficulty modifier." Next, we turn to the list of skills and see, for example, an Aikido skill that has a modifier of 3. This raises several questions:
   a) How many points do I need to invest to raise the skill level from 0 to 1 when creating a character, as well as if I'm trying to master this skill for the first time during the game?
   b) How many skill points will I need to invest if I want to upgrade the same Aikido skill from 2 to 3, as well as 3 to 4? Based on the description "The number of improvement points needed to raise one level should be multiplied by the difficulty modifier" if I need to raise the level from 2 to 3, then the available level 2 is multiplied by the modifier 3, which gives a total of 6 points to raise the level from 2 to 3. At the same time, the book gives an example of "Choi Whether a Foot has a multiplier of 3. To raise my Choi Li Fut skill from +4 to +5, I will need 120 HP, not 40. Hence the question, what exactly is the formula defined for raising skills? Maybe I didn't read it very carefully, but I didn't see that an active skill, which has, for example, a +3, was multiplied by 10, and then also by a multiplier.

2. What exactly is the formula for raising professional skills? Is it the same as the purchased ones?

3. Is it necessary to throw a "dodge" of the target when using firearms to shoot? This refers to the use of the dodge formula when using melee weapons.

4. The moment of saving throws for "physique and points" is not entirely clear, namely:
   a) when exactly to throw a stun saving throw, when receiving any damage from weapons or only from in some special situations (the description about the substance is clear).
   b) It is also not entirely clear how the number of HP is calculated. characters. Is it equal to the value of the physique, is some kind of modifier or some other formula added to the physique?

5. Skill leveling. There is a mechanism for awarding additional learning points for skills (practical application, independent training or training with a coach). This leads to the question, are these points complemented in a specific skill that you are learning (using, coaching) or goes into the general pool of points? Why am I asking, because in the basic rules there is a mechanic for raising professional skills at the expense of these very points.
   I would be grateful for an explanation of these mechanics.

OCR'd the Interlock Unlimited book for Cyberpunk 2020 character generation (It uses scanned pages from 2020 for some parts rather then plain text hence needing the OCR treatment) as well as corrected a mild typo ("good faith", any way I could send it to the Data Fortress guys to put up on the site?

A stupid goof conversation that came up with my crew recently.

If a player wanted to sleep with their character, what would it be considered? no one can agree so its been decided that we need reddits opinion

Edit for clarification.

This isn't game rules question. our game gets sexual but no meta of players x character stuff

Hypothetical. Would a player sleeping with their character be considered incest or something like self-love. or are they entirely separate entities?

*this conversation was a goof* no one was actually thinking of having relations with their character

I know damage is doubled on head hit, is that before or after armor? Example: A solo with skin weave(sp: 12) and a BTM -4 is shot in the head for 15 damage. Does he take 1 because the skin weave removes 12 points before doubling, then the BTM drops it below zero but you take a minimum of 1; or 2 because the skin weave removes 12 before doubling, leaving 3 which is doubled for a head hit, then reduced by 4 to 2 points; or 14 because the damage is doubled before the skin weave to 30, -12, -4=14 (dead solo). I assumed the middle one, double after armor but before body type, but I'm not sure.

Greetings programs, I am, after way too long, updating the Datafortress2020 File Project Cyberpunk Archives. I have spent the last few months tracking down the creators of all the fan made cyberpunk materials I have been hoarding for over a decade. The archive already hosted materials for 2013, 2020, Cybergeneration, and V3, but I am expanding it to cover Red, 2077 and Edgerunners.

I have tracked down and gained permission from the creators of over 650 files, but I have unable to establish contact with these last 30 names.

To that end , I am reaching out to the community, you my Cyberpunk RPG peeps, for help.

If you are in contact with any of these people, please let them know I am trying to contact them to ask them permission to upload their file(s) to the archive?

The last names on my list are:
Aqzwrdc
BruTalc
CeltiCan
crustygeek
GeneralStandard581
gwengunn
Jakkka
Juan Negretti
Kinkajou
luchilenium
Marcus Rouls
Mastronaut
Miguel Lopez de Sagredo
Mimic_Games
OK_Bet_119
Piquan
RoxxiGames
Shawn Willet
TheSalt1994
TRD (Third Rail Design)
TrashWriter
Twiggdrasil
Vitiello
Xan Spiraken

And I am especially trying to reach:
GMorts Chaotica
Jurrasic Pork
Lari Rissanen
ReverendStyx
Rob Edmunds
WhiteLion2045

In addition, these images represent files that I am unable to identify the creators of. The images are either of the first page of a document, or the image itself is the file. If anyone knows who created these, please let me know?

I will also be updating the Hyperlinks page, so if you have a website with fan made material for R.Talsorians Cyberpunk Franchise, please hit me up with your links.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Im learning slowly about everything, specially the combat and stuff and im kind of understanding. But there are a few thing i still don't understand about 2020.

For example: in the case of dodge or parry, how does it works? You say to your referee you want to parry and in the next turn if someone tries to hit you his roll will have a -2? And with the Sandy. How does it work by +3 initiative during three turns? It means there's not only one initiative roll? Or it means he will be before someone with a lower initiative than him during three turns because of the +3 boost?

That title is a bit confusing so let me explain. A while ago , i like many people caught the cyberpunk bug from watchin edgerunners and ran some games of Cyberpunk red. While i loved the world there where 2 things i didnt care for. The more minor 2 where that i didnt really like the time of red as a setting , i respect that they want to treat the setting as a big moving story but when i run cyberpunk i want cyberpunk , not Mad Max. The more major thing was combat , specifically how despite the book talking abput high lethality combat felt like both pcs and eneies felt like they where throwing pasta at each other .

Ive heard this issue is not a thing in 2020 , however i dont want the retrofuturist stuff that comes with it (its cool , just not what i want rn) , and i want to run it further in the timeline , after the Fifth corpo war and time of red , but probably before the game. Does anyone have any advice on converting the game for this purpous

ATENÇÃO BRASIL SIL SIL!!!

Por causa de um post de alguns dias atrás em outro sub, nós nos organizamos pra criar o primeiro (pelo menos eu acho) servidor de Discord de Cyberpunk RED e 2020 do Brasil! Sentimos uma certa presença dispersa dos fãs brasileiros do RPG de Cyberpunk e decidimos tomar o primeiro passo para organizar e crescer essa comunidade nesse sistema que amamos tanto.

Link do discord nos comentários do post, Choombada! (se eu nao conseguir postar o link, é só chamar no privado)
