El Ciendo Rock – A Martial Art for Normads
Author: Gryphon
[The article deals with a fictional martial arts style for the normads in RTG’s Cyberpunk 2020 roleplaying game.]
So here is a contribution worked up by me with the assistance of Sharps, one of my players. This “Form” was developed by Nomad culture as an outgrowth of the Warrior sub-culture. It is a distilation of the techniques used by the Warriors of a tribe in situations like bars, vehicles, and town alleyways. This is a Close-in Combat Form. Its availability is pretty good for Nomads, not so good for everyone else.
