![]() We’ve also rolled out dark mode across the site, our #1 most voted Suggestions & Ideas topic with well over a thousand votes on closing. Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition, Cyberpunk RED, and Star Trek Adventures are also in a dark theme. While we’ve created and maintain official sheets and help the publishers of your favorite games do the same, community sheet authors have contributed over 1,100 sheets, with over 1,200 contributors on GitHub!Įarlier this year we were excited to launch dark mode on the VTT and update the D&D 5e Character Sheet by Roll20 alongside it. The system pretends to be open-ended for character creation, but specialization is so rewarded and generalization so heavily punished that it might as well have a class system.Character sheets are an integral part of play on the Roll20 Virtual Tabletop, and one that’s powered by the community. They were really clunky and full of contradictions. Shadowrun's rules I didn't like quite as much. They aren't balanced by any means, but Interlock is always a blast. R Talsorian games are always fun to play. I really appreciate an RPG setting that doesn't feel like it's obligated to crowbar in magic or equivalent magic powers such as the ever popular Psionics.įriday Night Firefight is a far, far better ruleset than any edition of Shadowrun IMHO. The 2012 thing meant that, as a setting, Shadowrun already had a built in expiration date.Ĭyberpunk has always felt grounded and more real. Not to mention that the game has not aged well. Shadowrun is a fun setting with lots of crazy things that can happen, but it has a way of taking real issues and making them feel less real as has been noted. Lots of different options in Torg Eternity for a variety of cyberpunk flavors.Īs someone who has played both Cyberpunk 2020 and Shadowrun extensively, I'm going to have to go with Cyberpunk. And, lastly, there is Tharkold with it's occultech (demon-crafted implants) and a post-apocalyptic slant similar to Terminator's dark future or the physical world of the Matrix (outside of the computer simulated Matrix). Pan-Pacifica (the replacement for Nippon Tech) is cyberpunk in attitude (Electric Samurai are totally cyberpunk) in a Resident Evil setting that lacks cyberware (but has biotech). You don't just take a stand against the corps, you're a heretic opposing the One True God (in the machine-the matrix here contains both heaven and hell) and his rightful servants. Cyberpapacy has lots of cyberpunk elements, but with the social setup of the middle ages. I too like Torg, but mainly the newer Torg Eternity version. Please note that this does not apply to Cybergeneration or Cyberpunk 3 (Dollpunk) where the setting itself went very.strange. OTOH, much of Cyberpunk 2020 (and now Red) feels like a grittier setting which can have a more nuanced approach to real world issues if you want it to, and it is my preferred medium for dark & dingy (but with chrome) stories. ![]() Shadowrun racism felt as much like real world racism as Cobra (from GIJoe) felt like a real world terrorist organization. For example, racism was everywhere in Shadowrun, but written in ways that made it feel cartoonish. One thing Shadowrun did was to take social issues and make them less real. ![]() The 4e and 5e times just kept adding to this in ways that didn't really appeal to me. I really started losing my love for it in 3e, with the constant metaplot like the Renraku Arcology Shutdown (birth of not-Skynet) and the Year of the Comet (freaky shit all over). Shadowrun's setting has had some real ups and downs. Quote from: Omega on December 02, 2020, 05:01:04 AM CP2020 has a setting? The Cyberpapacy one in particular is an interesting mix of religion and cyberpunk combined.Īnother obscure one worth a glance is Chromosome for the Amazing Engine system. Sometimes with a bit of added supernatural to the mix. Nights Edge takes things in all sorts of directions and plays with various techno-horror themes in particular. But it is totally YMMV and some like it, some hate it and some jettison the magic part and play it as a straight-up cyberpunk setting.ĬP2020 feels more like D&D in that its a "make of it what you will" system and has a rather generic setting as its foundation. A techno-horror/Supernatural setting for CP2020. All I have seen was the weird theme park kingdoms version for Im not sure what version.īut I really like the Nights Edge setting for CP2020. I liked Shadowruns original setting, but it seemed to lose track with each successive edition.ĬP2020's setting I have actually never seen.
