Since the board got formatted or something, time to reboot the 2020 game thread.
>What's this about?
Since late November, an IRC game of cyberpunk 2020 has been going on #nightcity on Rizon. We are using the Second Edition Rules.
>Can I join the fun?
Contact me either here or by email
>When do you play?
There is currently a game running Mondays at 20:00 GMT, but there is always the possibility of starting new/upcoming games on other schedules.
>I don't know how to play!
After less than a month, the players have gotten very knowledgeable about the rules, so you can ask in this thread and someone is bound to help you to get things started.

So who the hell else here is fucking HYPE for Cyberpunk 2077?
Projekt Red has given precious little info on it so far (which will likely change once they're done with Witcher 3), but what they've hinted at so far (importance of character customization, NPCs speaking a variety of languages that you'll need an implant to understand in-game, working with the original designers of Cyberpunk 2020) sounds intriguing.
They're also one of the most based devs, so they're not likely to fuck it up.
No.9056
>>9054Eh. If they've given nothing at all that just makes me believe the worst. I blame - honestly - MMOs and my idiotic belief that drokk like Guild Wars 2 and Skyrim would be any good.
For me, Witcher 1 was meh at best, that being said though I don't doubt that CD Projekt Red's skills have improved the second game and the third possibly even better.
Still… it's Cyberpunk and I think I'll check it out once it makes an appearance.
No.9059
>>9056They've given some info on it, and they've got a team working on it, but The Witcher series is their flagship right now and I think they just want to keep focus on it. So they have been keeping Cyberpunk 2077 on the down low.
Ordinarily I'd be worried, but CD Projekt Red, for a relatively new dev, has improved a lot over the years and are among the best devs out there. The Witcher 3 looks like it's going to be actually quite good, open world and all.
Out of all the devs to be making it, I think we got one of the best ones to deliver on a solid game. I'm also just glad that someone is even
making a game based on Cyberpunk 2020 - hell, even just a new cyberpunk game coming out is an exciting prospect.
No.9062
>>9059>but CD Projekt Red, for a relatively new dev, has improved a lot over the years and are among the best devs out there…Agreed there. I can't remember who from but there was an interview with CD Projekt Red on Witcher 3's landscapes. They actually had a guy with them that had intimate knowledge of climates and foliage related to the land and those climates. That's quite dedicated. I enjoy reading about devs who have a respect for attention to detail, regardless of a game's theme or setting.
>I'm also just glad that someone is even making a game based on Cyberpunk 2020 - hell, even just a new cyberpunk game coming out is an exciting prospect…Yeah, agreed there too. Not that I hate it at all, but I'm glad there'll be more to the name of cyberpunk games other than Divine Cybermancy (if that could be considered cyberpunk…?). There's also stuff like Hard Reset. Still, it'll be nice to see another game, done by a talented studio.

Personally I consider it a good sign that the trailer featured loads of references to the tabletop.

>>9292Shit, you're right. I hadn't even noticed a few of the subtle references they put in the trailer. That definitely is a good sign that they've got that kind of attention to detail.
They apparently put out an interview sort of thing with Mike Pondsmith (a.k.a. the guy who designed Cyberpunk 2020); not only is CD Projekt Red working closely with him, but he's credited as the co-creator of Cyberpunk 2077. And according to him, they held off on making a game based off 2020 for awhile because they were looking for the right devs to make the game who were actually fans of 2020 - and, apparently, CD Projekt Red are big fans of the tabletop.
Soo, yeah, I'm even more fucking hype about it after finding this out. I really hope they end up releasing it in 2015.
>the interview starts after the trailer for anyone who wants to check it out No.9302
>>9062Right, they seem like they're committing to doing shit right. That to me is one of the qualities that sets a good dev apart from a great dev: the little attentions to detail that aren't required for a game to be good, but still add that special bit of magic to the game that makes it memorable. That's why I mentioned what I read about them planning on having different in-game languages and a mechanic to be able to understand them in-game - cool little details like that are great.
Divine Cybermancy is a cyberpunk game, and many other things. It's very odd. But it's very nice to have a cyberpunk game coming out on modern hardware, with all its capabilities and whatnot. And its especially great to see a cyberpunk game coming out based on a total classic like Cyberpunk 2020.
No.9311
>>9300Fuck it, I'm sold.
If they can get the creator and he says stuff like "we don't want someone who'd make a game and just put a Cyberpunk image on it" - the very same thing I was worried about - and he says that CD Project Red are dedicated and have been quoting parts of 2020 HE'S forgotten… yeah. I have every bit of confidence in CDR.

So I'm joining a CP2020 game and I'm stuck on creating my character.
I'm fairly lost on what I should focus on, essentials and just generally what would make a good character both mechanically and in roleplaying terms.
No.9462
>>9454First think of a role, and focus on the stats that are more useful to that role.
The game already gives you 40 skill points to the ones better suited to your chosen role, so use the pickup skill points to round stuff, put some quirks or pick skills you want to use often outside from your role.
MA and ATTR are the stats less used. Not much point in being pretty unless you are a Rocker or a Media.
BODY is very important if you want to focus on combat, since it's your soak damage, affects your death/stun saves and other useful stuff.
REF is good for offensive reasons, but you can always balance it out with weapon skills, since the system adds both bonus.
COOL is good if you plan to play a character who gives no fucks. Hell, COOL is THE stat for giving no fucks (resist torture, etc)
EMP is very important to cyborg characters, 7-8 minimum if you plan to do serious cyberization, and 5 if you plan to get only utility stuff. And you might want to take therapy anyway to regain Humanity. Social characters benefit a lot from EMP as well.
TECH and INT are role-dependant.
Also, if you want more starting dosh, get your role skill as high as you can. Cyborgs need the most dosh
No.9463
>>9462Alright great that helps a bunch, though now I'm wondering on the role.
We've already got a Fixer, MedTech and Solo, so what would be an ideal addition to the band?
I was thinking Techie originally since I have a half-baked character concept in mind, but it kinda looks like a Face would be useful.
No.9464
>>9462(cont)
Rockers, Corps and Medias are the "social" roles, more suited to gathering contacts and stuff. Rockers are all about rallying crowds and brawling. Medias are bretty gud investigators and Corps have to deal with corp bullshit politics, but they have access to really neat corp stuff.
Cops, Solos and Nomads are the figthan roles. Nomads are survival dudes who have a gang backing them up (kind of like the bike gangs from Akira), Solos are 100% tailored for combat and shit to anything else. Cops are bound to THE LAW, but they make for good investigators.
Techies, Med Techs and Netrunners are support/specialist classes, I have noticed you need to deal a lot with injuries/hardware problems/hacking so they are always a welcome role.
The Fixer is a jack of all trades, it has social skills (intimidate/persuasion), combat skills and some support on the side (forgery, lockpicking)
–
Depending on your GM, social may or may not be important. If you want lots of NPC allies get some persuasion and maybe seduction :^)
I would rather focus points on one or two weapon skills (maybe a melee one) than have my points spread but that's personal preference. If you want to have skill in lots of weapons, get lots of REF to compensate.
Also, remember: you can't use dodge for bullets. It's only for melee.stealth skills are useful to everyone (arguably rockers and medias are more useful on the open though) so put a few points there.
Skin weave is a pretty cool choice for augmentation if you got the dosh. Relatively low humanity cost, discreet, and decent armor rating. Also, if your GM is allowing armor stacking, it's pretty much skin so you can put armor above it.
No.9465
>>9463Fixer and MedTechs can work as a face, if they pick some extra skills.
>implying that is not the party of the IRC gameA schway idea might be playing Eddie Riggs, and make a rockerboy with Tech skills, using your pickup skills. Focus on EMP, TECH and BODY, disregard Attractive, acquire groupies.

Writing a summary, gimme a bit choombas. I got the logs with me this time, so it'll be less inconsistent.
In the interim, here's a condensed summary I told before the recent session's beginning.
[07:50.27] <Toledo> Was casing out some joint when I saw a some guy leave a shop, laptop in hand, ran out and Mr. Bismarck was there too
[07:51.37] <Toledo> They're were going on about corp stuff before Battersea shouted something about a solo and y0kai showed up screaming havok
[07:52.30] <Toledo> I went in, tried to subdue the laptop guy - Thomas - before frakkin drugged up cyber-samurai rode into town like some Western flick
[07:53.33] <Toledo> We all bugged the hell out and went to the brothel, Natalya hid under a diner table writing for help on a notepad I think it was
[07:54.05] <blumenkranz> Heññp-
[07:54.10] <blumenkranz> Hello.
[07:54.15] <blumenkranz> Sorry, I was busy dining.
[07:54.18] <~Derisyan> you came just in time blu
[07:54.21] <blumenkranz> :DDDD
[07:54.25] <~Derisyan> we were listening to the recap before starting
[07:54.30] <Toledo> The samurai divided and conquered when Battersea and Circuit siezed the pussy
[07:54.40] <Toledo> And I repeat
[07:54.41] <circuit> I will literally be right back. Act as if I'm here.
[07:54.50] <Toledo> "all our cunts are fill"
[07:55.09] <blumenkranz> Remember that.
[07:55.44] <Toledo> Natalya sensing some shit was up, tried to call Battersea, probably hearing the high-pitched moans of a Japanese whore
[07:56.01] <Toledo> Only to get dealwithit.jpg
[07:56.37] <Toledo> Circuit also nabbed the Japanese goddess of sex
[07:56.42] <Toledo> 10/10
[07:57.46] <Toledo> y0kai planned on diving the numbers, cutting the fat
[07:57.51] <Toledo> dividing*
[07:58.57] <Toledo> Becoming an Englishman on his way to work, y0kai sped off on the Edgemobile while shouting blatant racial stereotypes circa 1945
[07:59.15] <Toledo> The samurai, quite obviously, gave chase.
[07:59.22] <Y0kai> edgebike plz
[07:59.33] <~Derisyan> >racial stereotypes 100 year old
[07:59.49] <~Derisyan> It's like saying "what a queer bunch of negroes"
[08:00.10] <Y0kai> well niggers is probably 500 yr old at least
[08:00.29] <Y0kai> as an insult I mean
[08:00.33] <Archeaon> no
[08:00.40] <Toledo> Natalya ducked off to a nearby noodle shop, harassing a poor racist family, giving a father's daughters the impression she's another pick-up wife
[08:01.24] <Toledo> While Toledo smoked his 4th cigarette and had the gumption to confront the samurai leader.
[08:01.27] <~Derisyan> good point
[08:02.55] <circuit> Oh yeah, forgot my wench was a 10/10
[08:03.00] <Toledo> Insulting the samurai's honor, to which Toledo thought it was top-grade horse shit, the warrior "unsheathed katana" only to be deleted of the face of the earth by way of twin fixed SAW's and 160 km/h velocity.
[08:03.06] <blumenkranz> >Russian
[08:03.06] <blumenkranz> >Young
[08:03.06] <blumenkranz> >Not a pick-up wife
[08:03.06] <~Derisyan> russian war veterans, man
[08:04.34] <Toledo> Natalya became a multicultural activist for 5 seconds before realing what in the universal fuck just happened.
[08:04.47] <KevN> Oh yeah will we be playing with IC and OOC windows?
[08:05.04] <circuit> Kev, #nightcity-ooc
[08:05.14] <Toledo> y0kai feeling a sense of pride and collecting a gristly trophy…
[08:05.36] <Toledo> While Toledo enriched his cultural delights in acquired exotic weapons.
[08:06.04] <Y0kai> I got the sword too
[08:06.18] <Y0kai> the short one, they use it for seppuku lel
[08:06.51] <Toledo> "Backup" arrived in the form of two Talos cyborgs, blurting a pre-recorded congratulatory message to the bewildered Mr. Bismarck…
[08:07.32] <Toledo> And some lovely Alpha radiation being beamed into the body of our titular psycho, y0kai.
[08:08.32] <Toledo> I also forgot to mention the unprovoked biowarfare committed that day.
[08:08.46] <~Derisyan> and the screams
[08:08.52] <blumenkranz> Symphony for my ears.
[08:08.53] <Toledo> The family will never know the… end.
[08:09.12] <~Derisyan> seems to be everything up to the cliffhanger, right?
[08:09.36] <Toledo> We continue from last episode where our great heroes stand amidst the blood and bile drenched avenue.
No.10128
"Thought I'd continue these logs for the hell of it. This bar sucks and there's nothing decent to drink… Here goes.
>What a night. First this samurai and his cohort and now this "Bismarck" character's seemed to call in evac, probably.
>I shouldn't pout though, guess this might be the break I need since Ares set up shop all over including Precinct 3. Wonder if chief's holding up. Probably still a hard-ass. Good man.
>…Talos cyborg models. This guy's Olympus, I can feel it.
>Arrogant. Enough to make a ganger jealous. Claimed he "saved us" when it was… Yokai (I think his name is; heard it) who wiped the avenue with the poor bastard.
>Speaking of him, he was on the ground asking Bismarck what "they" did to him. I heard the word spoken, must've been a killswitch… Prometheus. More appropriated mythology…
>Just gets up, puts on a mask and heads back into the diner, for some reason. I don't care why, honestly. It's probably not good.
>Bismarck points out the obvious… "You're a private investigator" - what tipped you off, "Not enough work to pay your license fees" - do connections to one's precinct not mean a thing these days? Think he's "important" too…
>Hop on the transport anyway, I want to see what this guy has to say, see what information I can gather.
>The girl with the others before comes on too. Natalya is her name, I found, listening into some conversations.
>Hear a few shouts, like a distorted roar. Like that other samurai. I take a peek downwards from the transport interior… More of them. An army this time. With bows. I bet it was Yokai. Again. Reminder to keep far away from him as humanly possible.
>Anyway… I pull out Mace again, hoping I get to use it this time, but no dice I'm afraid. The warriors know who their targets are.
>Natalya doesn't seem too happy about it either. Seems she has first-hand knowledge of Yokai's appalling sense of risk assessment. That sort of stuff in the force would get you shot on the first patrol.
>Though I guess I've had it lucky from the old days.
Toledo rubs his cyberoptic, but moreso the scar that accompanies it - reaching from the forehead to the chin. Grabbing a shot from a nearby half-empty glass of cheap, mass-distilled scotch next to the passed out Yokai, he continues the recording after lighting another cigarette and sliding the bottle back into Yokai's slumped arm that's over his head, Eisei is talking to a relative while Battersea seems to be ruminating about Masterson's game-plan.
>Anyway. We all get the hell out of there. The bike included, the Talos took care of that.
Yokai mills about, his inebriated self choosing another position to slumber as the bottle crashes down, "want my fuggan… bikgg -" he seems to slur as Toledo takes a sigh to mourn the only drink he seemed to enjoy. The bar's neons transform the exhaled smoke into a kaleidoscope of odd colours before dissipating.
No.10129
Pt. 2
>Heard Trauma Team coming down. And afro man wasn't around either. Probably bugged out; didn't trust Bismarck most likely. Should have gone with him.
>We head off to Bismarck's apartment, Natalya and Yokai have a few words, as do I. Seems ignorant of alot of things. I asked if he knew anything about me. Nope. I hide pretty goddamn well for a cop.
>Forgot. I took a few pictures too. I want to study these "Talos" models. See if I can't get myself a .457 and some AP's to crack these things if the need arises. And some logo pics too.
>Also he dropped his gun while in the diner trying to shoot a little girl. Uzi. If Bismarck had any rep, it'd be gone by now.
>We come to a nice penthouse. Decent. Natalya and Yokai seem to want to crack this sam's head for some reason, she asks for our swords we got for clues. Not even wolvers broke into that thing, not that I'm all for brute-forcing, but still.
>Bismarck wants to talk business right off. Mentions a "Lydia Jove". Might want to keep more of a note about that.
>Sensing they lost another of their group they call up "Battersea" must be the guy that was with the rest of them at the alley. Crazy hair. He's got some swagger, though.
>Yokai calls him again after Natalya, couldn't quite catch what.
>Learn Bismarcks first name. Circuit. Noted. I want things on this kid. I think we all do.
>He comes up with some far-fetched plan to turn his whore into a cyberered up tool. I think I tuned out at that point until I heard something about "vaginally administered doses of semen"- yeah, I tuned out. I'll keep on noting what I overheard, if anything.
>Seems like they want to turn Circuit's joint into a ghetto med-tech theatre for the plan. Good luck, I guess.
>Turns out Ares is having a hard time getting a wrangle over the Japanese districts of Night City. Figures, considering how teched up their soldiers are.
>Guess I wasn't need around any longer, I needed a drink, so I headed out and gave them my number, probably a bad idea but whatever, nobody knows me anyway. Seems like everyone wants to join me. Awkwarrrrrd.
>Yokai stays behind and Natalya gets told to stay back. Good luck lady, you'll probably need it with that creep.
>Nice neighbourhood, but I still arm up. No matter what part, Night City can tear anybody a new one.
>Hide my gun quickly enough. Another cop. Haven't seen one in a while. All I can remember is my time in the NCPD now. Great.
>Seems to mistake me for a regular before I talk and show my badge so there's no misunderstanding. Before Yokai shows up on his bike, worried. Well, badge out and it's all fine. Neat.
>Now I hear that Bismarck and Natalya are having some "alone time" and giving eachother a go, first a shot by Circuit and now Natalya's apparently an agent. He insists we leave because of the Talos borgs nearby, guess I have no other real choice.
>Travelling down, we can see choppers. C-SWAT. Wonder what ticked them off. Whatever it may be it probably isn't short of Psycho-Squad's attention.
>Yokai shouts some crap about "smashing gooks". Half Japanese, but like that truly matters anymore.
No.10130
Pt. 3
>We go around the back of this dingy place and see what's going on, Yokai might've been on the phone to Battersea again, so a rendezvous most likely. Anyway, out the back.
>Some kid runs out and says there's cops in there with some other guys. He bugs out. Good idea.
>We both stalk inside, trying to not to get peppered if they perceive a threat. All's good though and I see Battersea and some other guy with some odd cyberleg hardware and his lookalike. Relative? Then there's the C-SWAT… and a Psycho-Squad maverick. Odd.
>I listen in and end up introducing. Apparently now we're going to find something or *someone* called the "Oracle.
>According to the squadder, it can process information faster than anything advanced this day and age, it can perform predictions.
>Squadder guy here is concerned for "lost cyberware". And is afraid someone, probably Olympus will boost him with more. Potentially making it go insane and turn on everyone. Way over my head here. Way over. But hell, there's probably a schway deal in for us if we save the city, and the planet.
>He has a good reason to be worried too. I've seen what cybered up maniacs are capable of. Was short of a promotion to Psycho-Squad too weren't it for the fed pricks.
>Oh yeah, this "Oracle" can simulate reality. Likely what helps it develop the accurate outcomes it produces. If more cyberware is given to it, I don't want to imagine what it'll do with the power over networks everywhere.
>The jap kid, a spacer from what I heard. Some bit of head this squadder was talkin about too. Coincidences aside, it seems like a good place to start for evidence.
>…So now myself, Yokai, Battersea and the spacer are now the inaugural saviors of Night City and Earth. Comic book shit.
>I wonder how Circuit and Natalya are doing. I don't feel particularly good about leaving for some reason. No way her sort could stand up to what corp creeps are capable of. Damnit.
>Guess that'll do it… Wonder how sis is doing.
A simple click of a button and the recording is stored. Toledo spins around on his barstool and takes a look of the situation before him. Nothing different. Reaching over and smothering the cigarette on the ashtray behind him. Blank, he adjusts the khaki balaclava on his collar. Slumped. Hand on chin, like thinkers of old, he scans around with the eye - thinking - of what might come next…

The guy in the suit told us to jump on the aircraft. At first I was reluctant, because
>trusting corps
>2044
… but I knew not obeying an Olympus AA's orders was probably not a good idea, considering I just learned some minutes ago that the RAD-48 could be activated with simple voice commands.
Poor Yokai, he got the short end of the stick. However, he still looked healthy despite those neurotoxins, so maybe they weren't meant to kill instantly. Depending on how quickly they act I could have enough time to cook an antidote for him, but we would have to find a lab first.
I swiftly jumped on the aircraft. The corp continued arguing with that guy we just met over the samurai pudding Yokai's Edgecycle prepared for us. The man didn't look like he wanted to jump on the aircraft, but he finally got convinced. Who the fugg was him, anyway?
We waited inside the chopper in complete silence for a while. Yokai, the corp and Battersea nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, a shot was heard, and the man who jumped to the aircraft with me tried to look down. "Remember those samurais? Well, there are now around twelve of them", he said. Oh fugg, what were those retards thinking about?
I asked the pilot to shoot them down. I had seen what some bike-mounted weapons did to one of those, so a chopper-mounted gun would have completely obliterated half of them in a few seconds. "Sorry, we don't have permission to engage the samurais. Lydia Jove's orders", he said. Oh well, fugg you too Lydia.
Finally, the corp, Yokai and a really pretty Japanese girl I had never seen before jumped on board, the Talos that came with the aircraft nowhere to be seen.
"What's your name, girl?", asked the corp to me. "My name is not important", I replied. The guy insisted, he wanted to know my name. Was he hitting on me? I didn't want to get a dose of neurotoxins, so I finally replied, reluctantly. He then introduced himself, said he was Circuit Bismarck.
After a tense as fugg trip where the corp kept me asking about my interview with Lydia (which was suspicious as hell, by the way) and I managed to accidentally break the samurai head's radio implants, we finally dropped into the corp's apartment.
Yokai told me to call Battersea, and I did. Apparently, he already filled that cunt and managed to escape into safety. I told him I would tell him a meeting place once I figured out where were we. Yokai said something about the phone, and I asked him if he wanted to talk with Battersea. I handed him the phone, said something really fast I didn't manage to understand and then hanged up.
The corp asked me to talk in private about two things. I followed him to the other side of the house, where he asked me about what was I doing there and my interview with Lydia. Considering it was obvious that the hit came from inside Olympus and I wasn't sure if I was talking to a Mr. Jove agent or someone from the other side, I just told him that was confidential and signaled with some hand gestures that I couldn't tell him because we were being monitored. He apparently understood, then asked me if I knew how to make a drug to make someone's vagina addicted to his semen.
What.
I asked him if he was off of his meds, then he said he was just joking but he wanted to know if it was possible. Not buying it, Mr. Bismarck.
He then talked in private to the beautiful Japanese girl, then to Yokai. The guy who came with us, who apparently was called Toledo, left a note with his phone number in the table, then said he was leaving for a drink. I wanted to follow him, but Circuit told me to wait for a bit because he wanted to ask me a favor. Damn, no booze for me today, I guess.
I went out of the apartment to breathe some fresh air, then saw Yokai passing by. Apparently, I was going to be alone at Circuit's home with the crazy perverted corp and a Japanese girl.

>>10168So, this guy wanted me to cyber the Japanese girl up. Right there, in his dining table. Full cyberlimbs and a few other minor implants. Okay, cool. I told him that I would need a few more tools and some dusting
(that I ended up doing myself), but it was possible. Ripperdoc clinics used to be much dirtier than this. Not mine, of course. Mine was clean.
Girl was going to go cyberpsycho for sure, but Circuit told me not to worry about that. It made me feel bad to know I was going to mutilate a girl and make her go crazy but hey, she's not the one with a RAD-48 in the back of her head.
The tools got delivered and I put the girl to sleep. A quick scan determined that she was clean of illegal implants, and also that she got tooth surgery. Before starting, I asked Circuit again if he was sure he wanted to make the girl go full cyberpsycho. "Don't worry about that. Just continue with the operation,
Ms. Berezinova", he replied. How did he know my surname? I am pretty sure I didn't tell him, just like about my interview with Lydia even though he insisted I mentioned it. "I'm your superior, I know", he said. Nah, not buying it Mr. Bismarck. You are hiding something, and I have a vague idea of what's going on.
Suddenly, he got his Uzi out and pointed it at me. "Who the fuck are you!?", he cried. I dropped my tools in fear. "
What's OMEGA clearance?", he continued. What the fugg?
"I don't know! Please, don't shoot!", I screamed. And it was true, I didn't know what the fuck did OMEGA clearance mean. Guy kept asking about it and about who was I working for. Did he think I was a double agent?
Considering what was going on inside Olympus and that
I had two sets of microphones and GPS inside my body and my purse, I asked him to disclose his security clearance. He didn't want to tell me, so I grabbed the sudoku magazine and pencil I took from that house to write on it, in an attempt to avoid microphones. "DON'T MOVE!", Circuit shouted. I explained to him I only wanted to write on it, but he didn't listen. I assume he wanted to shoot me in that moment, but he dropped his Uzi instead. Clearly this guy knew less about operating firearms than me.
In that moment, Yokai stormed through the door and pointed a gun at Circuit. Taking advantage of this unexpected event, I jumped at Circuit's leg and injected him a dose of Silent Night. No way in hell I was letting that guy point a gun at me again, so putting him to sleep and gagging him was probably my only chance to escape.
Cont.
No.10175
>>10174Yokai grabbed Circuit's Uzi while he was trying to convince him that I was a double agent. He said I was the one that activated the RAD, but both Yokai and me perfectly knew that was the Talos that came with his extraction. Yokai then left the room, and Circuit started to look drowsy. Maybe I didn't use the correct dosage?
He told me that if I didn't give him the antidote they would know it was me.
>TheyOh fugg. Did he call for reinforcements? W-what should I do? Run away, give him the antidote and hope he doesn't want to kill me…?
I finally opted for the antidote
and a blowjob. Maybe if the Talos thought the stuff they heard over the microphone was some kind of kinky fetish foreplay they would leave us alone. Maybe Circuit would even forget about me trying to administer him an anesthetic. Yeah, there is no way this plan could backfire in any way.
However, as I was unbuttoning my shirt, a bunch of Talos stormed the room. Circuit told them to arrest me, but I insisted I could explain what was going on. He slapped me, then told me to undress. I reluctantly complied. The whole situation reminded me of my dark youth, some times I would prefer not to remember, but luckily that also meant I was kind of desensitized to stuff like this. If it meant surviving, it was welcome.
He then told the Talos to search my body for hidden implants. I expected something else, but I couldn't complain. Getting groped by a cybered up bald Russian giant wasn't exactly my idea of a peaceful afternoon, but at least it was better than getting raped.
Circuit insisted in explaining what was I doing there. What the RAD did, what was the bomb for… I wasn't sure about which bomb was he talking about. We called the RAD "a bomb" so many times in the past I wasn't sure if he was talking about that or about the bomb that got us into this mess.
I told him I could explain if he let me write it down. I grabbed the sudoku magazine and pencil again, but he told me to drop it. I complied, and then he started revising them. After a while, he handed them back to me. What did you expect, a bomb?
I wrote in the magazine that Olympus was divided and I was not sure for which side was I working for, so I couldn't tell him or I had risk my life. After handing it back to him, he read it and told the Talos to go away. "Continue with the surgery", he said. Did he comprehend me?
After grabbing my tools I noticed continuing with the surgery was going to be impossible. My hands were shaking like they were made of jelly, probably a combination of the stress of the situation and SUGAR's after effects. "I can't, Mr. Bismarck. I would kill her", I told him.
Circuit grabbed my hands and told me it was going to be okay. I couldn't contain my tears. "I don't know what's going on".
He told me to accompany him outside, where the Talos still waited. He told them he wanted to pay a visit to Mr. Jove to ask him to remove the RAD from me, but apparently
they didn't like his words.
We got out of the building as quickly as possible.
"Natalya, we have to get out of here".

BAM! That Acid-afro wearing drokk-face whacks me while we're talking about burying dad.
Next thing I know half the bar pulls guns on us and says they're
CyberPsycho Divison.
Not what I was planning when I came down here to visit.
None of us move a muscle like pigeons staring at an upcoming Boeing 7070, when the guy I followed into the bar starts talking.
Calling himself
Masterson, he starts asking me loads of questions about some
secret corp science project which was being done on one of the LEO stations. Apparently the project went to drokk…
So other than being a regular hire on those stations they didn't have anything to actually pin me on any missing equipment that was apparently lost during the science bonanza. I was lying of course, I figured the
frozen brain matter hooked to some neuralware, which was so advanced it HAD to have been manufactured by some R&D corp division.
Materson keeps harping about the danger of this lost tech, how it could destroy the whole world or some shit. Didn't buy a lick of it but even non-earth destroying tech can do plenty of horrible shit.
So I whip out the goods onto the table. In exchange for the tech he'll get me
Secured transport on the Yakuza needle for myself and ANYONE I want, for life!Bro, this deal is going to make us fucking rich. I am so going to buy a second cyberleg as soon as we make our first deal!
Apparently Acid-afro also got a hold of the weird neural-meat/ware combo, though he traded it for the removal of some
brainbomb on his neck.
So now we're flying in this fancy ass flying car. Always wanted to ride in one of those things when I was a kid. Rising up in the sky you could really see the trash-to-fancy shit ratio still being upheld in this crock of a city. Acid-afro started making a face at the big fat Olympus building.
http://image.news.livedoor.com/newsimage/2/5/251b8bf9df9da74efe77403a0c839303.jpgStarting to like this guy. We go off the coast to some fancy looking government facility on the water.
http://k05.kn3.net/DF3663CEC.jpgWe're told to behave while they bring out a whole
medtech operation. They start opening up Afros neck and then I start seeing the smoothest rip-job I've ever seen. It wasn't anything like those Ripperdocs we got on the stations. This cat was moving meat and ware like a fucking sculptor or something. And get this, it was a chick! Pretty good looking too.
http://i.imgur.com/LITkAfp.jpgSo she extracts the bomb like it was nothing, all the medtechs are congratulating her and all I'm thinking is how am I gonna get this tech diva out on a date. So I take the cyberware angle, trying to get her talking about the high-fly tech she uses but I'm getting nothing. Then I try the space manoeuvre showing off the top-corp logo on the back of my jacket.
Aaaand I bust some scanner thing while turning around. She freaks out and runs to get it repaired.
Stop laughing.

I escaped the Talos with Circuit. Sadly, I am not the best runner so I lost him pretty quickly. Ended up trying to find a good café with any terminal I could use to log in and check my mail.
Found a 2010-ambiented café and asked for a swiss. Ended up being pretty cheap since someone decided to pay for me.
I checked my mail and saw I received several mails from DV-Pharma, asking me to reply immediately. I decided to check the status of the police department I had to bomb using GView, and it appeared to be covered in foam. However, next to it, there was a black patch. I remember that place was the building in construction I saw when I got into this mess.
I checked a Japanese live map system that was outside of Ares' reach. It looked like it was some kind of chip factory. I decided to reply saying it was probably destroyed, as GView showed it was covered in foam. After some moments of tension, I convinced them that the foam probably meant it was being rebuilt, and agreed to finally free my friend once the curfew was over.
Just then, as I was celebrating our victory, a really nice-looking man approached me and played a really catchy Rin and Len song in my computer.
[OMEGA CLEARANCE REQUIRED FOR THIS SECTION - "We don't pay you to read smut" - DJ]
He told me it was nice, but that he was busy and had to go quickly. He said he would call me again, but I didn't give him my phone. Later I learned he worked for Pallas. At least he left his business card.
After taking a shower and noticing the hotel actually had a terrible taste in art, I dressed up and got out of there. I noticed that cop from before arguing with what seemed two Trauma Team medics. After hearing to their conversation, though, I realized they were not Trauma Team medics. TT is a civilian organization, they would NEVER call someone "citizen".
I decided to hide behind a corner and watch the scene. Stuff started to get tense very quickly, and before I could realize one of them tried to shoot the cop in the head. I think he was bleeding, but he took it like a champ and shooted back. I decided to wait no more and throw one flask of Mr. Bones in front of the fake medics. It hit, and as I walked away from the scene, more shots and screams were heard.

Grab the rulebook, start making a character and flesh out a story and such. Current party's full but I think other GM's will post here if they got their own game running I suppose, to let waiting players know.
After that, GM's will probably say either IRC, Roll20 or any other mode of online communication. Roll20's straightforward so no fussing about there. If you got more questions or need help, you're always welcome to the channel to ask those questions or to spectate when a game's running.

New Players, ¿New campaign?
Ever since this campaign started, I have gotten more and more people interested in playing, so I want to know how many are still sticking around.
If I get 4+ new people interested, I'll run a new game in march with players that haven't get the chance to play yet.
My original idea was to get a new GM to run a game for the people who had to be left out, but since this campaign is coming to a close and no new GM has stepped up, I'll take care of that myself. The big downside is that the regular players (Batters, blu, KevN, Tol, y0k) would have to be left out of this new campaign to make room for new players.
I would rather not do this, but without a second Gm I'm out of choices, since I'm already pushing the little free time I have with this.

Alright, I'm the second GM here now. So that means more slots are open, all runners welcome. Deets on the game are shallow as of now, I'd like to talk to the players to see what they're wanting before I really give anything solid. I'm considering running it in CyberEurope, using the standard Cp2020 lore of course, but am definitely not opposed to stick to Night City if the majority votes for such. There will be a few houserules, mostly adding a few wound rules from CP2013 back in, and reworking all the drugs to use the Dark Metropolis system.
No matter what, I can say I tend to make my Cyberpunk 2020 more Punk, Glam Rock, and Metal than Perturbator (Frag if I know the genre name). It's still hard and fast, like cyberpunk should be, but you gotta' remember the rules; Style over substance, Attitude is everything, Always take it to the edge, and Break the rules (Last one seems kind of contradictory, doesn't it?)

*Session was a complete disaster and a waste of everybody's time (from what I gather)
*For that reason we are doing rollback
*I notice a big problem is on the unsavory hours the game is on.

The people currently playing please email me about what timezones you can play so we can fix the schedule a little.
No.17418
>>17379what did you use to draw this?
No.17427
>>17325This will sound vague, but you might try to seek inspiration first. Check the games, books and movies you personally like and keep notes of how narrative is going through the work. More importantly, note tricks in storytelling that draw your attention as observer. This two kind of notes will help to set the bar of overall quality.
As for the narrative itself, there are few ways in which story can unfold, most common are
1. Linear, novel-style straightforward story)
2. Non-linear, with flashbacks or multiple stories, or even completely random event order (for which you can see William Burroughs cut-up technique, which is pretty cyber).
3. Tree-like structure with main branch and complementary additional branches that can add details on second/third walkthrough. Basically what some old RPGs used to be.
You can also ignore anything I say and invent/combine your own way of storytelling.
Any narrative is based on a plot. If you don't have a decent plot already (which is not good), you can search for inspiration, for example in history books (because history patterns repeat themself), 60s beat literature, subcultures, everything else you find fitting.
People value new stories and unused settings. If you want to set it on Earth in countries you've never visited, you'll have to do very serious research to avoid cliche, stereotypes and other biasing bullshit. Example: in here
>>10175 says: "bald Russian giant" - Hollywood cliche. Most russian criminals are short and fat, hitmen are usually average build types. Thats why good game studios hire a consultant sometimes.

No.17434
>>17427Thanks for the tips, I'll probably try all of them.
The only problem I see with the linear is that my group really likes diverging from the main plot - what I mean is, if I have a story, and I want something to happen, then I have to give them very large incentive, or it won't.
I'd like to here more about this cut-up technique, which, if you have any links would be great. For now I'll just research it.
As for the flashbacks, do you think it'd be a good idea to let players participate in them, possibly altering the story's direction? Or would that be too much?
And one more thing, how much time would you usually spend in preparation for a game on the narrative?
Thanks a lot for the tips, though.

http://busyreadywhat.org/Authors/Burroughs,%20William/Burroughs-%20electronic_revolution.pdfYou might want to apply it not to the whole story, but at some episodes as artistic trick (for example, to emulate memory loss, mental damage, "pockets" of conciousness, lucid dreams, torture drug dellirium, acid trips, the list goes on and on)
>As for the flashbacks, do you think it'd be a good idea to let players participate in them, possibly altering the story's direction? Or would that be too much?For me personally, this could be the most exciting new feature of the recent years of gaming. But not all people used to non-linear narrative as I am, and it can be confusing for some gamers. There must be some sort of "smoothness" and logic in general story. Flashbacks and cut-ups are just artistic tricks, and like with any tricks, try not to overdo them.
> And one more thing, how much time would you usually spend in preparation for a game on the narrative?Depends only on abilities of creator. Dawdling for too long is not very good as you start to lose the feeling and grip of the project, forget ideas and emotions behind it. Its fucking sad too.

Alright, here's my character Concept. If any of this is overpowered or too spergy let me know.
Zulu, a Nomad from a wandering african american tribe. He rides a zebra striped cyberbike with an onboard AI, Beest. Beest only responds to Zulu's native language (Zulu has a layman's grasp of english). He wears a helmet in the shape of a lion, and in battle he throws telescoping explosive spears from the back of his bike. Collapsed, the spears look and function like combat knives. He's skilled with both knives and spears, both in melee and throwing.
Zulu's tribe is ruled through power and fear by his father, Shaka, who is a 10' future-steroid hulk. While cybernetic enhancement is taboo, bioaugmentation isn't, and leadership is determined through submission wrestling. Traditionally a chief will collect wives until he is deposed by a stronger warrior, generally 3-5 years, Shaka has been ruling for 20, and fathered over 300 children. Only Shaka gets his bioaugs from a megacorp who uses the tribe as a puppet army to raid their corporate rivals (the spears come from raids).
Zulu does mercenary work to fund his dream of turning Beest into a wearable suit of armor to challenge his father in. Tehcnically no leadership duels have been done in armor, but his father would accept the duel out of sheer arrogance.
No.21448

I see no trouble with this. It's very probable that the next game will be on the middle east of the year 2045, so having an african would definitively be helpful if we start on Egypt.

Zulu's operator here. Was there a session monday? I probably should've set an alarm on my phone. Definitely will for next time.
Here's my character sheet. I took wrestling as a job skill, for lore reasons, if that's a problem I can easily move them to brawling.
Upon further reflection I decided to drop Motorcycle for Driving, and have Zulu's personal vehicle be a borderlands Runner. With a speargun. Spears can be fixed with a cable, for capturing vehicles with minimal damage, or loaded with explosive spears for maximum damage.
I can't seem to find rules for shields, but I don't think he feels very Zulu without one.

Zulu is a prince of his tribe. Though he has hundreds of siblings, he is generally recognized as third in the royal family, behind his father Shaka (played by Urien from Street Fighter) and his father's favorite son, Balrog (played by Balrog/Mike Bison from Street Fighter). Balrog is Zulu's chief rival. By law a brother cannot challenge a brother for the position of chieftan, to prevent rivalry tearing the clan apart. Both Shaka and Balrog have undergone geneboosting on the dime of their secret Corp masters, turning them into superhuman musclebound hulks with a stranglehold on the tribal power structure.
Violence against tribe members is strictly forbidden, with the exception of wrestling matches used to settle major disputes. Challenges are not issued lightly, as the loser is guaranteed to lose face, but declining a challenge is cowardice, which is even worse. Therefore power in the tribe is ultimately determined by physical strength. Zulu has an angle: Advised by his uncle, the high shaman of the tribe (played by Xerxes from 300) who detests his brother's corp backing, that armor is technically not forbidden. With the right suit of power armor, Zulu could overthrow his father.
Since the tribe makes a living plundering mainly corp convoys, they have to stay highly mobile, any permanent base would be eliminated. They maintain a village of sorts on the backs of gigantic cargo haulers, along with many smaller combat vehicles, called the Herd. Raiding parties and other groups leaving the herd are referred to as Packs, and generally leave with a specific purpose, before being reabsorbed by the herd (if they return at all.) Even further out are scouts, the tribes eyes and ears. They generally travel in pairs on the fastest vehicles available. Pack Leader is the highest honor below Cheiftan. Balrog and Zulu are both pack leaders, although Balrog's pack is larger and more powerful.
The tribe's religion treat vehicles as animal totems.(Weapons and other mundane technology are not viewed as having spirits.) Maintenance is a form of worship, and technical ability is highly valued among the tribe (though not as valued as physical prowess.) Vehicles with on-board AIs are particularly valuable (Imagine owning a talking Lion. It'd be kind of like that.) Cybernetic enhancement is forbidden, seen as animalising your soul, with Psychos having lost all humanity. Bioaugmentation is completely unheard of to the tribe at large, and the chieftan keeps it that way.

Damn shame that you took the time to make your character with a decent pinch of personality but then you're willing to waste the GM's time by overreacting about a hiccup that's only left that character wounded at the worst. Nobody has it out for you and I doubt you took the time to investigate further after your sook session. You'd find things are the complete opposite.
We made all decent effort to find what's at fault and we're more than happy for you to chew on a Snickers, get a pair and come back with a renewed need for cyberpunk. If you want to continue being a child without making a few considerations; establishing immature conclusions then that's your problem.

Bull. Fucking. Shit.
There was a moment, long after it was established I was in my car and trying to get away, after calculating the damage of the first shot, Derisyan politely suggested that he auto-fail the next shot, so as to not fucking kill my character in the first fucking session.
He took the shot anyway.
He wanted to kill me, he tried to kill me, and he succeeded. No more Zulu. Congrats.
It doesn't matter if Derisyan or the dice say Zulu lived or died. I just refuse to play a game with someone who actively makes the game shitty for me. I'd expect you'd all be making the same decision if you were getting pk'd for any reason, or no real reason at all, as the case may be.
No.22485
>>22479
Der already said hell would rain over any gratuitous PK. I doubt he will try to shoot you again unless he really wants to risk gazing into the fist of god.
We all understand getting your character killed sucks. Getting your character killed by another player sucks even more, but getting your character killed by another player during the first session sucks the hardest, which is why Der would have probably overruled it in case Zulu had actually died.
But Zulu lived and he is far from being in risk of dying, just unconscious. During next session we can try to get short-lived fast healing nanomachines that will probably fully heal your character in a matter of hours. They are nonstandard, but Toledo got them during last campaign, so they do exist in this setting.
Anyway, the point is that you are not in risk of dying, both right now and in the future. He just got lucky with a high roll (otherwise the shitload of modifiers that were applying would have make him fail), and you weren't using your shield to cover yourself, so this situation will likely not repeat itself.
No.22486

That's all in-game stuff. You're missing the point. My issue is there's a dude on the crew who went out of his way to fuck up my session.

No.22489

Kurwa scolded him after the session because splitting the party at start is a recipe for disaster.
I also think he went overboard with the edge, specially considering it was the first session, but being trigger happy in Cyberpunk 2020 seems to be very common even though the system is lethal as fuck.
Anyway, if I really thought you left for no good reason I wouldn't be here trying to convince you to come back. In fact, if you quited for no good reason I would probably be laughing at you right now, but I understand how much it has to suck to get to 9 HP due to PvP during the first session.
All I think is that you are overreacting OOC. I mean, I understand why you are mad, but quitting is overkill. In these cases the best solution is simply accepting your fate and then backstab your enemies when they least expect it.

>What kinda system is this
It's a pen and paper (although we play it through IRC because it's the comfiest chat you can use for these things) tabletop RPG system. You know, what 90% of /tg/ is about.
If you have already played RPG before and want something more specific, it is a system that uses base 10 for stats, skills and dices. You simply add those three and then check that score against a difficulty given by the GM. If you pass it, you succeed, and if you don't, you probably die.
Combat system is based around movement and ranges in meters, so it more or less feels like a more flexible imaginary wargaming system. It's pretty good, but at the same time it's also absurdly lethal.
Game aims to be more or less realistic (or as realistic as a cyberpunk game can get) in what the characters can do, but this can be modified to a certain extent by introducing some minor changes.
>are there some OP things that "must" be nerfed?
Pharmacy should be nerfed because of how easy it is to make an instakill (or worse) area drug. You can try to balance it by adding more enemies with artificial lungs or air filters to reduce the chance the drug's effects are triggered.
Armor is also kind of overpowered if you don't use it correctly. Be sure to apply all armor layering rules unless you want FUCKING INVINCIBLE characters.
Getting access to the best items of the game is also fairly complicated, but that responsibility lays on the GM. Basically, vehicles (not even end game content), ACPA suits and full borg bodies (these are actually end game stuff) would require several players with lucky brouzouf rolls to agree to buy a single low-end (not counting the worst vehicles, that are pretty bad but dirt cheap) unit of any of these. Following vanilla rules can leave a character whose gimmick is driving without a useful car, which is specially ironic in the case of nomads since they get piss poor starting brouzouf and the sourcebook considers them the best driving class, according to the Trauma Team chapter. The GM might intervene and give them a shitty starting car inherited from their family, which would be a good idea since they barely have enough brouzouf to buy the cheapest cars.
Something that should be buffed, though, is MedTech. Most medics/healers in most games are able to cure people instantly, but in the MedTech's case they can cure 2HP/day at best, which is just twice as much as the First Aid skill allows you to cure, and it isn't even a main class skill. Basically, all MedTech can do that First Aid can't is surgery, which I guess that could help the team save some brouzouf in case they need a new implant (if it wasn't because any non-negligible surgery will leave a character unusable for days or even weeks, so it is certainly not easy to get new implants after the game has started).
You may also want to nerf crits and fumbles because they always get a 10% flat probability of happening and can make the game way too random. Yeah, your 10 TECH/10 Elect. Security techie can manage to trigger a cheap dirty alarm system that he has already disabled thousands of times before in 1 out of 10 cases, so go figure how stupid everything can get with a bit of bad luck.
Also disregard the whole Netrunner chapter if you don't want to bore your non-Netrunner players. The whole Net system is painfully slow and it's almost always better to rely on simple rolls, or else you might stop the session for hours for all the players not jacked in.

Is it possible to increase your stats naturally in CP2020?

Impossible under vanilla rules. You can use implants (or genemodding), drugs or surgery, but if I recall correctly only BODY had a +1 upgrade you could buy that was fluffed up as nutritional supplements, a good diet and lots of exercise, but it was essentially a reskinned implant.
I guess the reason behind this is that these are supposed to be your genetics and/or your infancy memes, that shape up your whole self and are more or less set in stone once you reach adulthood. Considering the median lifespan of a Cyberpunk character, it would be dumb to design mechanics around improving your stats since they would be so hard to acquire (if skills are already hard enough to level up, imagine how hard should levelling up stats be when they are incredibly more useful than Skills) that no players would get to enjoy them.
Another reason is because putting any modifier over 10 would screw up the difficulties system. A 30 target number is described as the ultimate level NEAR IMPOSSIBLE (there are some obscure rules that contemplate >30 difficulties in some specific instances regarding stuff like Awareness rolls, but they aren't normal), which means you only have a 10% chance of getting it right if you are a natural master of that skill. It already happens with certain skills in vanilla Cyberpunk, which got so many implants you can stack it isn't even fair. You can easily get to 27-28 seduction using the right implants or higher depending on the rules you are using, so you become a semen demon capable of flipping people's sexuality in 80% of the cases or even 100% if you add some LUCK.
However, if you want to run an over-the-top game, you can homerule a few things to allow extended progression. Keep in mind you have to adjust task difficulties depending on how your players are progressing, so tasks that should usually have a 30 target number can become the equivalent a DIFFICULT task to superheroes like the players.
>Cap all starting skills to 8 during chargen
>Remove the 10 level cap from Skills
>Add +1 to the relevant STAT of a Skill once they reach level 10 in any skill
>Once you have become The Incredible Hulk from all that BODY and increasing your Death Save any more becomes useless (allows you to tank all dem 40 HP without entering DEAD 0 or getting stunned), you can let the player increase his HP by adding +5 HP to the LIGHT damage tier for each extra BODY point
This is likely a bad idea since the GM will have to rebalance everything around untested mechanics, but hey, it mite b fun.

Thanks, i think that ill just use the vanilla rules.
What about augmented limbs and armor in them?
Also what about augmenting yourself when making a character, do you still roll the humanity losses and such?
Someone said that armor for augmented is 25, so that would be pretty hard to punch trough right?

>What about augmented limbs and armor in them?
That's in page 89 of the corebook. Basically, they have no armor by default, but there is an option to give them an armored cover with 20 SP.
What they do have is SDP, which is basically the limb's lifepoints separated from your character's lifepool. If it receives 20 points of damage, your limb becomes useless, and if it receives 30, your limb breaks.
>Also what about augmenting yourself when making a character, do you still roll the humanity losses and such?
Yes, indeed. Otherwise you could make some lucky MedTech brouzouf rolls and become the Mary Sue healer/face/murderbot.

Sorry, forgot to answer the last one
>Someone said that armor for augmented is 25, so that would be pretty hard to punch trough right?
I guess you mean for augmented limbs, in which case that's not correct. Limbs come unarmored by default, but even then 20 seems to be the maximum SP you can put into a limb. However, you can increase the SDP ("inanimate" HP) by +5 with Reinforced Joints, by +5 with Thickened Myomar and +10 with Hydraulic Rams, although TM and HR are incompatible.
+10/+15 to HP means jack shit without armor, though. A single bullet of a FN-RAL AR will deal 6d6 (18 median damage), but what's worse is that you can put out 30 of those IN A SINGLE ACTION when using full automatic, and unless you suck at Rifle, you will at least put 15 of those in the enemy's body. 40 or 30 HP will go down equally easily unless you have a Metal Gear.
That said, not even armor is that useful. If the enemy is using AP rounds, your armor is halved, so instead of having a 25 SP Metal Gear, you end up having a shitty 12 SP layer of plastic covering your body. Actual damage done to HP or SDP is then halved, but it doesn't matter when [18 - 12 = 6; 6/2 = 3; 3*15 = 45]. If you hit any limb, it's broken, flesh or chrome (and if it's a flesh one, it will be destroyed so you better prepare to roll a Death Save). Even with a good BTM capable of soaking at least 2 DMG, you will still receive 15 DMG, which is enough to break a flesh limb and to kill any character if it happened to be a headshot. Keep in mind that this calculation has been simplified because otherwise staged penetration (-1 SP if any attack gets through your armor) would destroy the armor in 12 hits out of 15, so unless you have a Superhuman BTM (29 DMG with >11 BODY, 39 DMG with 10 BODY) you will go down in a single enemy action.
The best way to win in a Friday Night Firefight is not to play, having the hugest weapons and initiative or preparing crazy strategies such as filling the whole place with bombs before the CSWAT breaks into the building to claim your cold metallic ass as their trophy.

Well it seems like AP rounds are the cure for things like body plating.

Luck is pretty much useless under vanilla rules and often used as a dump stat, so you could be fine doing that.
Also, it would only work once, so I don't think it could be considered too unbalanced.
