- @6WHAT ARE CYBERPUNK RPGs?
- ========================
-
- @1 These are paper based RPGs that uses settings influenced
- by the cyberpunk style of SF, such as Gibson's _Neuromancer_, but
- _Shadowrun_ effectively combines the cyberpunk with fantasy elements.
-
- I prefer the _Cyberpunk 2020_ game-system, which is also used in one or
- two other rpgs from the same company. Like most such games, they are
- heavily biased towards American culture, and the European supplements
- can come across as badly wrong. I don't much like the general bleakness
- and hopelessness of the cyberpunk setting. It isn't my sort of game.
-
- Most such stuff is printed in perfect-bound 8.5x11 format. _Cyberpunk
- 2020_ comes in several non-english-language editions.
