Ebony Wrote:MaxTac/CyberPsycho Squads are part of the original tabletop Cyberpunk game as well, so I imagine that that's also an influence.It's not just an influrence. This IS Cyberpunk. This is Night City. That IS MaxTec. And the game developers are working with Mike Pondsmith. THE man that wrote the Cyberpunk Pen and Paper game. And Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0 And Cyberpunk v3, but let's not talk about that.
In 1996 I was introduced to Cyberpunk by my friend Bob, though I had just met him at the time (he was president of the Madison Area Technical College's RPG Club, which I had just joined). I was already familiar with the genre, having been a GM for FASA's Shadowrun since 1991 (I'd been playing since 88-89). The campaign we started essentially caused me to drop out of College, as instead of going to class, we sat in the cafeteria and gamed. We had a campaign run from 1996-1999 that was played virtually every weekday, and we had several shorter campaigns after that. Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0 is one of the two table top games editions I own every suppliment book for, and still have them on my bookcase. Heck, I have 2-3 copies of the main book.
This is the game that took me from casual gamer to hardcore gamer.I just heard this was coming out about 2-3 hours ago. I haven't stopped squeeing since.
