I have been away from my yahoo mail for a little while. I am suprised to see that this has not been replied to in the list yet. I am glad to see someone else...
You know guys, I've been having the same concerns for as long as I've played CP - the netrunning rules suck. Even as they stand, they are barely playable. ...
Well, we can start hashing out here. I would like to move a bit more back to the 2013 concept where machine environments and infact entire subgrids are...
... I have actually gotten motivated and am writing up my netrunning rules idea. When I have enough of a draft complete I will post 'em here. The best bet is...
... Can you explain the 2013 reference? ... Explain, please? I am also a UNIX sysadmin and programmer and also have some strong views on "real" hacking....
... The original CP2013 rules manual. Its where I started playing CP. The 2020 rules set was a radical alteration of the 2013 rules. ... Agreed. Which is...
... Pretty much utterly kills any sorta Gibson-esque netrunning. Plus real hacking is boring as Hell, which is why Gibson avoided it (that and he wasn't at ...

... Were the netrunning rules and better in the 2013? Were they good? Heck is there another cyberpunk game that has a good netrunning rule set? Cyberpunk...
I'd have to agree with a lot of these ideas. I'd much rather be playing a "combat decker" than someone who is sitting at home trying to hack whyle the rest of...
... Does anyone know what R. Talsorian is doing about the next official rules off CP? Is it ever going to happen. Regards, J _______________________________ ...
AFAIK,they rolled the CP2020 rules into the free Fuzion system and are just leaving everything there to kinda rot. I haven't seen anything new out of CP2020...
... I like this. I would also suggest a countdown the hacker has to work against. 10-Security Level+d10 Seconds for a run to succeed or the Admin can take...
Cyberpunk 203X is still being worked on by Mike Pondsmith (who is posting to the Mekton Zeta Mailing List) and seems to be approaching the light at the end of...

... IMHO, they were better than the 2020 rules. 2020 had some good ideas that could have been back-ported to 2013. However, I don't have my copy of 2013 any...
... Great! We're heading the right way. ... You can do this easily. Instead of 40 points in "Role Skills", you give out 20. Then pass out 60 points in the...
... Hi, Karsten! Nope. I frankly would love to write brain-dance technology right out of the rules. However, the excuse here is that "The Cloud" doesn't...
... Yup, it does. I want to make hacking as complex and thrilling as shooting someone. Its not about the rules, its about the RP that drives the rules. Go ...
Very cool ideas, folks. Guess I'll throw in one or two also. My own rewrite ideas are heavily cannibalized from d20 system, plus Shadowrun (aka 'SR' from here...
Changing subject so to not confuse this thread with the netrunning rules thread. ... I always get lost when I hear this talk of Fuzion rule systems and the...
First let me ask, is there enough interest in compiling out ideas and compiling a definitive Project2040 Netrunning Rule set? I know this is the most...
I'd much rather see the netrunner as much as a digital fixer with passcodes and backdoors and the like ferreted away. I think his job will be as much to...
... The "keep it fun" mentality is why all "systems" have a security rating. Everything could be hacked. Some systems would be very hard to hack but still...
... On my part, absolutely. I feel the same way... CP2020 has been a bit of a dead duck for me for some time. This discussion has sparked my interest again....
... Its really no more an RP problem than gun combat is. If you want to reduce the screaming abject chaos of an 1800 rpm fire-fight in a dark alley down to a...
... Pretty close to what I am thinking. See the movie "The Italian Job" (the recent remake) for an example of where I am going with this. He's got a WAP-code...
Yep... I think the "checklist" should be a list of steps like you were saying, but at each step the runner needs to make decisions on what program or backdoor ...
