What was the first cyberpunk video game you played? Were you playing the point & click adventure games back on DOS? Shadowrun on SNES? Deus Ex on PC? Or did you just recently discover this thing called “cyberpunk” with Cyberpunk 2077?

I’m curious how long everyone here has been into cyberpunk.

    Shadowrun on SNES. And I’m running Shadowrun tonight for the first time in literal decades (I last GMed it when I was in middle school!), for people who haven’t played before; I’m so nervous and unprepared! I hope that even if I mangle the rules I can get across the vibes.

            Thanks, I didn’t flatline! One of my players couldn’t make this week so I improvised a variant on the classic Food Fight intro scenario so that we could familiarize ourselves with the combat without going off on a run sans street samurai. In retrospect I’m not sure I handled recoil penalties correctly, and we slogged through the rulebook looking for some things like “Why does spell Force matter again?” but in the end only one of the players got mildly shot, and the mage manabolted a guy so hard that he totally fried from the inside out, so I’m calling it a success!
