Cyberpunk 2077 Teaser Trailer + my old minis
CD Projekt RED, creators of The Witcher videogames (quite good RPGs that respect all the lore of the books) have just released a small trailer of their next game, Cyberpunk 2077 (+ wikipedia link, not much info yet, though).
From the trailer description:
Welcome to the year 2077.
The teaser shows how the Psycho Squad might acquire a new member.
The Psycho Squad specializes in combating "psychos" -- individuals who overuse implants and substances that boost or otherwise alter the human body.
There comes a point when they overdose on these innovations, and their bodies start to rebel against their biological body parts as well as all things organic around them. Simply put, they start killing people, who they now derisively call "meatbags."
When a psycho goes on the rampage, strange things can happen. There's carnage, and the psycho might be taken down by regular police, but they're not always able to get the job done.
When things spin out of control, they call in MAX-TAC (Maximum Force Tactical Division), popularly called the Psycho Squad.
And the cool trailer:
I can't wait for the game, Cyberpunk 2020 was my first approach to the futuristic cyborg setting (along with Blade Runner).
I actually have some miniatures painted from long long ago, a dozen characters depicting from gang members and private security mercs to policemen, hackers and executives:
Update: The teaser making of. Awesome level of detail...
Purchasing some out of print RPG books
Thanks to my friend Vicente now I'm doomed too and I've started buying old and out of print pen&paper RPG books.
To test it, I've bought two books, Megatraveller and Cyberpunk 3rd edition.
Megatraveller (1986!!!) is a space sci-fi RPG with heavy focus on the creation of characters, settings, worlds, and even spaceships. Characters have to choose a profession as background, you can design your own space (and have space fights), and in general get as deep as you want.
I learned about this game playing the old Amiga games (Megatraveller I and II), and I recall having seen this boxed set (contains three books plus a huge hexagonal star chart) when I was quite young, so I couldn't miss this opportunity :D
Cyberpunk 3rd edition is the other book. As can be seen in the photo, I alreaady own the 2nd edition in spanish. In fact I didn't knew there was a semi-recent new revision (2005), so why not giving it a try...
From the intro and first look, seems that the complex rules of Cyberpunk 2020 have been simplified and streamlined a lot (the game was quite hard to learn and play, and also very easy to die after all the effort demanded for setting everything up).
I need time to read them but looks like I'll be searching for more old RPGs...
