For my next trick, in January I will be running a one-off d20 Modern-Cyberpunk game in real time. A kind of Gibson meets 24 thing.
At the moment, my thinking is running at between 8th and 11th level, using two house rules - low hit points on a par with Babylon 5, and the corresponding use of Constitution to determine chance to stabilise - using the cybernetics rules from d20 Future, the firearms from Ultramodern Firearms (or at least using some of them for inspiration), and with a wildly complex plot.
Of course, knowing my luck, the party in question will work out the mysteries in the first five minutes, and then it'll just be a case of going through the motions.
Okay, it didn't happen. I had a great storyline all worked out, but a game of that sort requires lots of prep work, and I just didn't have the time. Alas...
ReplyDeleteStill, I ran Ravenloft instead (the original classic module I6). It was good. Never did get to use Strahd though :-(
