This is a collection of names and ideas to personalize your Night City and might not be compatible with the Cyberpunk 2020 Night City Sourcebook. On the other hand, if you need a new club to spring up or a random Datafortress, this might be helpful.
Leave the name of your favorite hangout / shop / hole in the ground in a comment, if you like. I would appreciate it! Continue reading “Night City Personalized – Cyberpunk 2020 Names 'n Places”

The following is a list of 100 Corporations which I use in my game. I picked (well looked for…exhaustively…) 100 corporations just so that I could have a round number on which to roll on. I’ve tried to include all the corporations from all the books I own, however some of you might catch a few which don’t really belong! If you don’t like a corporation on the list just remove it and substitute it with another one. This list is by no means exhaustive, though it tries to be!

Simple economics, supply and demand. When the supply is low, and the demand is high, the price goes up. When the supply is high, and the demand is low, the price drops. The closer these get to each other, the closer the price gets to “normal” (book price for gaming purposes). Ever found it weird, maybe even irritating, how players can buy 5 grenades for the price of one good handgun? Anything about that seem wrong to you? It should. Sure they are one shot weapons of destruction, but one grenade can cause more damage than a bullet, and sometimes more than a fully loaded gun. But at only 30 eb a pop, even teeny-boppers could afford these destructive little explosives (taking into account, of course, they can get a hold of a dealer in the first place), and you thought that school shootings were bad.

1) Body Lotto results for the Greater Night City Metro Area
The numbers of the Body Lotto are taken from six random districts within the Night City Greater Metro Area. Numbers are derived from the locations that cadavers are found, not neccessarily form where they were murdered. All numbers are accumulated by the Night City Police Department and verified by the investment firm of Merrill, Asukaga, and Finch. Tonight’s top prize is for 225,000EB. And tonight’s numbers are … 2, 13, 17, 1, 24, 10.
Those people holding a winning ticket are to contact the downtown offices of M.A.&F. If no one claims a winning ticket, tomorrow’s winnings will go up to 250,000EB! Continue reading “Some Screamsheet Articles”

The CP2020 Advanced Hit Location Sheet allows you to track wounds and body statistics in great detail. That much detail is not my style of rather cinematic play, but if its yours, its a great tool!

Heise berichtet hier http://www.heise.de/tp/r4/artikel/25/25667/1.html über einen Roboter der uns nicht unbekannten Firma Taser, der völlig ohne menschliches Einwirken auf Menschen schießt.
Noch sind die Projektile nicht-tödlich, aber die Schwelle, dass Maschinen auf Menschen schießen ist gefallen. Sobald sich die Systeme als zuverlässig erweisen, wird es auch Roboter geben, die tödliche Waffen einsetzen.
Taser sind übrigens nur im technischen Sinn nicht-tödlich. Ähnlich wie bügelfreie Hemden nicht wirklich bügelfrei sind (sondern nur leichter zu bügeln), ist ein Taser für ein Opfer mit Herzschrittmacher oder schwacher Konstitution durchaus tödlich. Und für alle anderen extrem schmerzhaft, bei bleibenden Verletzungen und Verbrennungen.
