Horrific Realization:

In the Shadowrun Universe, Shrek 1-4 all exist as they were all made Pre-2011, and are therefore Pre-Sixth World.

This means that Shrek was either banned for racism, or is seen as some great prophetic work and is widespread.

“Shrek” could be a racial slur against orcs or trolls.

I wonder if multilingual dnd characters work like multilingual people irl

Character 1: hey can you pass me the (demonic screeching)

Character 2: (visibly disturbed)

Character 1: (takes mundane object out of character 2s hands) sorry I forgot the word for it in common...

I’m not even being a dick. Dump them. Your players are going out of their way to be disruptive and an asshole to you because you’re new. Not worth it.

No DnD is better than bad DnD. Ten times out of ten.

Not quite the same, but... I may have had my brother ride the chocobo through the swamp with the giant snake in FFVII because it scared me too much...

why are cyberpunk tabletop things so obsessed with decency and personhood being tied to how many surgeries you haven’t had

“if you have a prosthetic it takes out a part of your soul” like thanks shadowrun

rlyehtaxidermist

in early cyberpunk, the point was more along the lines of “if we integrate technology into our bodies we risk becoming dependent upon the people and institutions who control that technology, who would then use that to enrich themselves at our expense”

unfortunately that was too anti-corporate for American mainstream culture so as cyberpunk moved out of its niche it became “uhhh it eats your soul I guess”

#this is important context #if you weren’t around at the time it is easy to miss but #anti-corporate sentiment was pretty much the lynchpin of cyberpunk until there were movies and games making money off it #it was the 1980s you guys #the entire point was that corporations are evil and technology should be used to circumvent them and escape their control over our lives #and not be used to make ourselves into another product #now that the internet is entirely monetized and corporate it’s harder to remember that originally it was synonymous w freedom & independence

Yes, exactly. Cyberpunk is anti-corporations, not anti-body-modification.

Forgive me if I butcher or completely get wrong the point I’m trying to get across, but on top of the anti-corporate roots it initially had, I believe the idea was a cautionary tale of transhumanism.

Basically, while transhumanism via cybernetic enhancement might be the next step of human evolution, we as a species need to be wary of jumping headfirst into it without fully considering the ramifications. The same kind of caution that should be employed when taking steps into any kind of massive new change to society or the human condition.

Also, basic prosthesis and limb replacements that don’t enhance beyond the body’s typical norms don’t do any essence loss, if I remember correctly. (I tend to go with magic or techno characters so I don’t look into cyberware too heavily.)

SR:Dragonfall after playing for 5 minutes

Since Catalyst won’t give us good stuff for places outside the UCAS except for a handful of cities, allow me to throw some ideas out. It took me entire minutes to put these together.

Paris: Due to the Catacombs beneath the city, which are why tall buildings can’t be built in much of the city even today, it’s a major city without the typical oppressive skyline of AAA megastructures. Said Catacombs are also a thriving ghoul community, giving HMHVV infected an option besides Asamando.

Pyongyang, Korea: The unification of the peninsula saw the considerable mineral wealth of the north finally extracted with modern excavation equipment, generating enormous wealth for a select few. The stark contrast between rich and poor common to the Sixth World is even more extreme here than in other parts of the world. Furthermore, remnants of the old regime lie buried; bunkers connected by a maze of tunnels. Who knows what kind of research data could be in wait? Or, perhaps some things are better off staying buried.

Cairo, Egypt: Does this really need much in the way of elaboration? Tomb exploration, just for starters! Also, my last sentence for the previous entry also applies.

Three places off the top of my head. Come on, Catalyst.
