it's strange that the game's strongest hook, spy vs spy vs vampires, isn't front and center

real weird

i'll kill 'em even if they don't have sex or do drugs

$25 for 90 shadowrun books

still not worth it because then you're playing shadowrun (excusing anarchy)

if you like pain tho:

if you want a cyberpunk game that is actually playable in the year of Luigi 2026, including hacking/"matrix"/netrunning just play cyberpunk red

it's head and shoulders above everything else

getting irrationally angry as i clean up my rpg session and i toss your d6s aside and hit a natural 12

where were you when i needed you, motherfucker?

i know i'm probably thinking about this backward, since gurps was modeled as a universal system after the "old school" rpgs, but all flesh must be eaten strikes me as a system with an actual workable and reasonable stat/char gen system

no doubt the argument is gurps could run afmbe

could it? probably. but afmbe can also run admbe and it's fairly robust in terms of homebrewing

i haven't played the cinematic unisystem yet, but from glancing at what people say about it, it feels like a more involved slasher flick style system

or, as i am probably coming at it chronologically backward again, slasher flick probably borrows from that or other rpgs it influenced xD

i don't think unisystem (at least classic) does any better at balancing builds with point buy than gurps does, tho

but at least i don't feel locked into one of two attributes for no fucking reason other than "everything is brains!"

I mean

delta green: the conspiracy

the laundry: management turf wars

it does very much feel like delta green spirals you very quickly down the path of "and that's when i decided to torch the place"

in fairness, torching places is (my) personal go-to >.>

the laundry is also way more open to magic and enchantment and pcs doing occult things themselves, which is nice

dg is much more hamfisted in its: "oh that was a mistake"

part of it i think is the setting as well

if you play american delta green you are almost certainly armed with guns, and things can run out of control fast

in the laundry you're more or less in the uk/europe and even having a 50%> in firearms gets you an issued gun, but it's kept in the armory when you're off duty

how are you gonna spiral when you can't just shoot the guy causing you a paperwork nightmare? inconceivable

it's fun to mix in one (1) american tho

sometimes you need a release valve
