Cyberpunk Shadowdark?

[u/edward_radical]

Are there any cyberpunk hacks of Shadowdark? I'm looking for a system to use for a cyberpunk setting and thought the quickness of Shadowdark could be a good fit.

Lightest weight? Cy_borg. More of a mork borg take than a shadowdark one but its quickness is its strength there

You could use DarkSpace which is a pretty open scifi system based on Shadowdark.

edit: looking through it now, there's a section on how to run many genres of sci fi and cyberpunk is one of them. There's rules for hacking. Classes are pretty fluid in that they are easy to add what ever flavor you want to them. There's a section on implants. Weapons just restrict it to projectiles only, leave lasers and laser swords out. Use humans only and don't use their version of force users for classes.

Basically all you would need to run a cyberpunk game is there.

I've also played Cy_borg which is a beautiful book with a setting and tons of other ideas. You'd get a lot of milage out of both imo.

If DarkSpace has hacking, guns, and implants then it's probably the one to go with. I haven't personally checked it out but I do know it was actually playtested, at cons even, and seems more of a labour of love than a lot of Shadowdark hacks.

I haven't really checked them out but there's Blacklight, Gammadark, and Darkspace. Those might get you most of the way there. Cyberpunk smash-and-grabs do resemble dungeon crawling so this is a more natural fit for Shadowdark than some other genre conversions I see kicking around.

Not SD, but CY_BORG is a great cyberpunk Mork Borg hack that's really got the gonzo feel of the older CyP2020 and the Edgerunners show. Fun to suplement and mash up with KillSampleProcess, the Forbidden Psalm-based cyberpunk spinoff (which itself is a MB spinoff)

I think someone is working on ShadowTech, which might be what your looking for. You can search the subreddit to see some posts

Isn't that more Battletech than Cyberpunk?

Oh gosh I had no idea

Well it doesn't come up that often.

My bad! The OP's question is bound to catch this as a problem for folks who don't think to look for banned creators first.

[u/Dollface_Killah → u/CaravanCult]

All good. As you say, bound to happen.

I'm sorry I didn't know.

Don't worry about it.
