5.0 out of 5 stars The sound is like tracers through flesh..., November 30, 2001

I've ben GMing for something like fifteen years and this is the system I always return to. If I want to run someting of my own, this is the system I base it on.

Slim-line, fast, flexible, simple, expansive, effective. All words that describe Talsorian's game mechanics - it simply does not get any better.

As for the universe - this is a REAL world of darkness. No bright dawn, no happy ever after. Only your wits and tech, style and edge. No right or wrong, only power and death, a world of grey areas that seems only just around the corner.

If you are a gamer and you don't have this - get it now.

If you aren't a gamer but love the Dark Future setting, it's worth it.

Magnificent.

5.0 out of 5 stars CP:2020, December 1, 2002

This review is from: Cyberpunk 2020: The Roleplaying Game of the Dark Future (Paperback)

CP 2020 is by far the best pencil and paper RPG, this is all you need to get started. Playing CyberPunk will open your eyes to the world and the direction it is heading in and also opens your creativity and imagination. Everything from the weapons, the armor and the stat system whips AD&D. Anyone who doesn't like the whole fantasy ideals and/or combat system of AD&D needs to give CP a serious look-see.

If you like CP:2020 check out the CyberSphere MOO, well coded and reasonably closely based on CP.

This review is from: Cyberpunk 2020: The Roleplaying Game of the Dark Future (Paperback)

this rpg is great. i have owned it for 5 days and am already having a great time GMing a small game (1 other person). both of us are having an immensely good time. no happy elves or grumpy dwarves here, only grumpy people struggling to survive in a world which will eat them alive. buy this, you wont be disappointed!
