grandmastergm Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Hello everyone, I borrowed a friend's copy of Michael Surbrook's awesome Anime-Cyberpunk campaign setting Kazei 5. I'm thinking of running a campaign in that setting, but I do need ideas for adventurers and characters. Has anyone else run or played in campaigns in the setting? Please let me know, Grandmaster GM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba smith Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 have a recall on cybernetics but the real reason for the 'recall' is to unfairly jack up the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja-Bear Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Could someone be jacking people with cybernetics and forcing them to commit crimes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Tom 2009 Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Could someone be jacking people with cybernetics and forcing them to commit crimes? Could be worse...at the very least, it'd be better than having said someone slipping blipverts into the display functions of people's cybereyes ( ).

TheQuestionMan Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Puppet virus? Infects cyberbrains turning ordinary people into flesh puppets. Forced to commit crimes, prostitution, or corporate espionage. Best adventures drawn from Cyberpunk anime resources. Or creative player chatacter background history.

Cantriped Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Best adventures drawn from Cyberpunk anime resources. I second this suggestion. Here are some options for Cyberpunk source material: Bubblegum Crisis (either version) Ghost In the Shell (any version) Ergo Proxy Psycho-Pass Serial Experiments Lain Texhnolyze Dirty Pair Armitage You can also steal bits from almost any of the "Giant Robot" and "Trapped In a Game" series. Such as: Neon Genesis Full Metal Panic Aldnoah.Zero Gargantia On the Verdous Planet Blassreiter Sword Art Online Accel World Log Horizon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmastergm Posted June 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 I plan on running "Death of a Fixer." The PCs are freelancers hired by a mysterious party to provide security for a gathering at a bar. They discover that the gathering is a group of fixers who are haggling over the data and possessions of a recently deceased fixer- which happens to include a lot of valuable and compromising information. Predictably, they have to contend with some party crashers sent by some parties that want the information seized or destroyed, as well as the fact some fixers are willing to use any means necessary to get what they want.

grandmastergm Posted July 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 The PCs ended up surprisingly surviving, although most of them got knocked unconscious during the fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gewing Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Puppet virus? Infects cyberbrains turning ordinary people into flesh puppets. Forced to commit crimes, prostitution, or corporate espionage. Best adventures drawn from Cyberpunk anime resources. Or creative player chatacter background history. QM I once played a character in a similar setting who had NO implants. His dad had been a top cyberneticist and he knew just how easy it would be to put "extras" into devices. Rumors leak that a major cybernetics provider has been putting back-doors and worse into devices. Using unsuspecting people as spies, for instance. The don't have to control people (usually), just monitor appropriate people and their activities. Shades of NSA wiretapping... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I love the fact that Nabiki Tendo is a Miss. Johnson in this world. No word about her sisters in this world, or the rest of her family. Would make you want to cry, of Soun wasn't doing it all ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 As for what the rest of the family Tendo/Saotome are doing... It is a given that Ranma and Akane are running the Tendo dojo by then. Heroes will probably not hear about it at all from Nabiki. She might sell some books about kata and such if found out, but that is about it. Ranma himself does not hate cybernetics. He does think it is cheating, thoe and will not teach cyborgs. Kasumi? Probably enjoying life as a doctor's wife. Soun and Genma? It is safe to think them beyond the veil. Happosai? Um...haven't been herd from in years.
