Nope! I've even seen a short HP/Cybergen crossover fic (single chapter, only really introduces Boardpunk Harry and CorpZombie Dursleys IIRC. maybe one of the HP girls.) Although, what I'm mainly wondering about WRT Interlok games right now is how to integrate Cybergen with the other "future of the CyberPunk setting" product, Starblade Battalion Mekton. That's set a century or so later, but bases itself only on the 2.0.2.0. version of the setting, ignoring Cybergeneration emtirely though it does reference some of the same themes, and if not for the lack of Carbon Plague the SBB eco-totalitarians could easily have arisen from the CGen "take back the planet from the rapacious CorpMachine" mindset. Other parts don't mesh nearly as well, however. When we were building the Virtual Mekton setting on first the Mekton Zeta and then Virtual Mekton Mailing Lists (holy crap, a decade ago now? The really sad part of that is that it's been that long since I fell out of touch with the folks I considered friends from the list, except NPBaxter who's a regular here too) the company who runs the VM game was named The Blackhand Corporation in honor of the character, too.
Found it again, and it's even shorter than I remembered, really it's just what I'd consider a character sheet with a page or two of character intro writeup for using Harry in a Cybergen game. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3581083]%[link=http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3581083]http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3581083] Hermione and Dudders are mentioned by name, so are a couple of OCs, but only Harry and one NPC get speaking parts.
Ooh, and if anyone hasn't read them, go RIGHT NOW to http://members.tripod.com/starblade_battalion/]%[link=http://members.tripod.com/starblade_battalion/]http://members.tripod.com/starblade_battalion/] and grab the Starblade Batallion Stories; unless you seriously think there's a chance of playing in an SBB game sometime and are draconian about avoiding spoilers. They are unreservedly 100% awesome with awesomeberries and an extra helping of awesomesauce on top. There's at least a little art as well, and stat sheets (multiple people's adaptations of them in some cases) for all the new and modified mecha that appear in them. The series is quite long and covers the entire setting as described in the book as well as developing it further (no surprize there, given the amount of space available for background even in a 136p sourcebook, as compared to 41 chapt6ers of prose.) If you think you might play in a non-SBB game or (Gasp!) RUN a mecha campaign of any stripe, they're great for getting in the mood.
Gweh. It still feels like a ruddy sauna in here, and the accursed day-star is on the rise again to increase temperatures that much more. At least by now I'm exhausted enough to get at least a little sleep despite the miserable weather.
I hate summer. Hate it to bits. It's bad enough on a heavily wooded hilltop in New Hampshire, let alone a couple hundred miles further south and surrounded by blacktop in the second floor in a house so old it didn't have electrical wiring before hitting 30, let alone air conditioning.
- CD, filled with the burning hate of a thousand fiery suns... literally if you look at it the right way
