Anyone interested in a forum based Cyberpunk 2020 game?

Its going to be 2020 next year but looking back at the retro cyberpunk 2020, there are still a lot of themes that are still great especially with animal mods, mr studd and midnight lady.
 
So what kind of characters would you like to be?

I've a story around CRISPR and cloning. Cloning is still not allowed, but a company started cloning to harvest organs. The clones are created to be perfect with lots of "generic" stem cells available that can allow it to heal fast, so it can last and survive the operations to harvest organs.

The clones are faster, smarter and stronger than humans, and once the clones reached the age of 16, they were old enough that they grew resistant to the drugs used on them to sedate them and about 20 clones escaped, killing everyone in the lab. There were also unknown amount of underdeveloped clones (under 16) that escaped later.

The lab had a hard time doing a cover up and the PR spin which involved the government and everyone they can reach to cover up the incident, and they hired kill team to hunt down the clones. The story was a terrorist organization came and destroyed the lab and killed everyone.

The escaped clones managed to hide and blend into society and are sort of still hunted down and they have no ID, but they learn fast and pick up skills quickly.

A few years have passed since the incident and you can play people hired to track down these murderous clones, or play the clone themselves or investigators that uncovered the story.
 
I love cyberpunk games and would love to join. Unfortunately I've never played the system so I would need to learn it.
 
Do we play with the "official" Cyberpunk 2020 system, or the Interlock Unlimited one (Basically the same, but the second one is more through, kind of an unofficial update.)?

And the plot reminds me of a more futuristic version of Dark Angel (the series).
 
Yeah, I don't know the official system either, but this concept sounds fun. (I loved Dark Angel :D).

This is approaching the end of my active time of day, though. Let me know if you think I'd be a good fit.
 
The R. Talsorian version.

The core book is here --> here <--

basically, there are various "careers" which give you your abilities.

A very competent Solo is your standard Deus Ex hitman / bodyguard who has extremely fast reflexes and shoot people before they can draw their guns.
A very competent Nomad is like your mafia boss, lots of connections to get things done.
A very competent Rockerboy is your rockstar, can sway crowds and perform on stage.
A very competent Netrunner is your geek hacker, can hack anything connected or potentially connected.
A very competent Corporate is your finance guy, can make deals and call on corporate help.
A very competent Techie is your mechanic, can fix / repair anything.
A very competent Med Tech is your doctor / medic, can save you if are shot.
A very competent Media is your trustworthy reporter, people tell them things and it gets on all forms of media.
A very competent Cop is your Chief of police, able to use rank and intimidate people to get things done.
A very competent Fixer is your fence, able to get you anything you need if you have the cash for it.

The other cyberware and stuff is just flavors for the game.

I'll come up with a character section and the beginning for the game. With what we know today, we can decide on how dark the game is going to be, and also the level of violence/ SMUT as we go.

How often can you guys post on forum? once a day? 2 time a week?
 
I'll study the system if you think I'll fit in. I did WoD/VtM for many years and can figure it out.

My first thought for a character is a Rockerboy fatalist type that enjoys his healing most of all. Sensation junkie/high risk stuff. Second would be sort of similar personalities as either a Fixer or Techie.

I play at work and have a big chunk of my day open. I'll post multiple times on weekdays if there's an opportunity. I play less on weekends, but at least 1 or 2 per weekend day are possible at minimum.
 
It depends, but I can usually post at least once per day.

I think that the basic Cyberpunk world is violent and dark enough, but kind of lacks in smut. So, if we take levels from Zero to Six, then the basic system background is kind of a 4 in Violence and Darkness, and only an 1 or 2 for SMUT. I think we can keep the original level of Darkness and Violence for Night City, with the notion that there can be less and more violent places, but overall the darkness (the power of Corprorations, the low empathy and humanity levels of people because the cyberwares and drugs) is kind of needed for it to be Cyberpunk 2020...

Speaking about the SMUT level, it can get a little boost, or we can even double it to be on level of the violence and darkness - and maybe even higher than violence in places, meaning that a problem could be solved with some kind of sex instead of firefight or heavy brawling.
 
I can usually post once per day at the minimum.

Also I'm thinking of going with a Solo type of person serious when on the job and will do whatever it takes to get the job done but also has a sense of humor and a slight bubbly side.
 
I would love to do this. CP2020 and CG2027 were my first ttrpgs so they, warts and all, hold a special place in my heart. I love how retro it is and have been thinking about it a lot coming up to 2020.

I'd be happy to play one or more characters. I have an idea for a Corp who does "external R&D validation" with implants that capture and record bodily sensation, or a Media who basically does porn and violence. I'm also partial to Fixers. If anyone has any questions about the system feel free to PM me.
 
I am thinking that it would be better if either we was some kind of a group - or at least have a common longer term goal -, or if we had two group of people, one for hunting the other for be the hunted... Of course it does not mean that the hunted could not turn on their hunters...

I am thinking of playing a Cop. It would be good if there was some people who would have fun with her... Be it players or NPC's.
Or I am playing a Nomad clone.
Third option that I play a person of interest or her clone - in this case it is like they are twins, a lot of possibilities...

Maybe I would play a Cop from a rich/corporate family, who has this clone who is a Nomad... ;) [Good and Bad, Light and Darkness... or at least kind of having an evil twin.]

The evil twin idea could even work, if someone other than me played the other half, maybe a Corprorate? But for this we would need them to be in different groups, or have the GM play the twin...
 
let me start the char section and get the ball rolling
