Pretty sure one of the class/build/archetype things in THE CYBERPAPACY is "You are a Grandpa who wakes up and is suddenly chromed up like a robocop" and why would you want to delay that wonder any longer.

That is legit my favorite template in the entire game because you're not just a Grandpa, you're a Grandpa who actually fought in the original French Resistance during WWII and now you've got your faculties back, cyberware, and an itchin' need to show these young whippersnappers how you really run a resistance movement.

Mors Rattus posted:All I know is, two years ago at Origins I saw a book called THE CYBERPAPACY and I had to buy it despite knowing nothing about it because it was a book called THE CYBERPAPACY. One of my favorite things about the Cyberpapacy is the way that it handled cyberspace (the classic c-punk flying-through-holographic-neon-grid-canyons with a wire hooked directly into your brain kind) - it got rid of a lot of the fiddly rules and arguments by flatly asserting that when you jacked in to cyberspace, you were literally projecting your soul into another dimension. Because, in the Cyberpapacy, that's exactly how jacking into the matrix worked.

I'm with Green Intern - get the most boring out of the way first, so we can finish with the good stuff. Living dud of a Land first, to be followed by Orrorsh, Nippon Tech, Asyle, Nile Empire, and finally Cyberpapacy.

Rule one of future Britain is that the Knights Templar come crawling out of wherever and start handing out chainmail. It's like... something the Queen has a madate for.

Spoiler: later on Torg introduces "pocket dimensions", which are basically tiny realms that just show up. One of them is Avalon. e: And don't get me started on the Cartoon Cosm, which has "Acme-ums" instead of axioms. It's the ultimate damning evidence of how badly WEG's writers did NOT understand comedy. Evil Mastermind fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Jan 13, 2015 |

I picked it not because I think it's awesome but because it is a literal street ~samurai~ that is so hilariously 80s-90s and a single-picture representation of the whole postmodern orientalism of the time.

Yeah, which is going to be interesting because the GodNet stuff isn't in the Cyberpapacy book; it's in the Worldbook from the original set and the GodNet sourcebook.
