On the 13th day of each of the 13 months, we will bring you some content and ideas for 13th Age, our absolute favorite D&Derivative game.
It is the opinion of this humble columnist that CP2020 is the best Cyberpunk game, primarily because of the way cyberpsychosis is handled.
If I had more time, I would do a full-on conversion of the original game, instead, I will present to you this quick-and-dirty (an Internet term for QA) hack.
First, I will start with how to do cybernetics: Characters have an Empathy score equal to the sum of their stat bonuses for CON+WIS+CHA. Every 10 points of Humanity cost (see the CP2020 core book), the character loses 1 from their CHA modifier. If they have a 0 Empathy, they are done.
I thought long and hard about the Icons, and considered using various Corps, but thought I would provide the tools for you to make the Icons significant to your table. With the exception of the first Icon, instead of assigning each one to a specific individual, players will define them to a specific NPC in your world.
