I Nurse Ambitions of World Domination

Specifically, I want to create a retroclone of Cyberpunk 2020, which combines the random tables approach of Yoon-Suin (create your own megacorporations, gangs, psychically distant medium-sized town, etc.) with Mike Pondsmith's classic "if you cover them in toxic waste, blast them with dynamite and sink them to the bottom of the ocean they still work" rules.

This will, naturally, be a runaway bestseller which catapults me into Gary Gygax - nay, JK Rowling - realms of wealth and influence.

  2. I'd like to see a random table of fictional brand items. So I can use my Acme Shower-in-a-can, while drinking Duff Beer lighting my Morley Cigarrette with my Rippo Lighter.

  4. I would buy this.

    If you haven't yet, though, take a look at Technoir. I've been blown away at how seamlessly it works for creating emergent cyberpunk worlds and situations for the players using random tables. Obviously much more story-gamey than what you have in mind, but pretty rad nonetheless

  5. Oh I would soooo buy this. In fact, your post makes me want to go fetch my CP books in the attic so I can hug them and apologize for having kept them in a box so long.

  6. I never played, though I think I had the book as a kid. What was so umm durable about the rules?

  7. Oh, Friday Night Firefight. How I miss you. The rules never did work quite right, but the feel was spot-on, and without elves and trolls and motherf...ing Dunkelzahn.
