Cyberpunk Red Data Screen

WELCOME TO THE DARK FUTURE The Corporations control the world from their skyscraper fortresses, enforcing their rule with armies of cyborg assassins. On the Street, Boostergangs roam a shattered urban wilderness, killing and looting. The rest of the world is a perpetual party, as fashion-model beautiful techies rub biosculpt jobs with battle armoured road warriors in the hottest clubs, sleaziest bars and meanest streets this side of the Post holocaust. The Future never looked so bad. But you can change it. You've got interface plugs in your wrists, weapons in your arms, lasers in your eyes, bio-chip programs screaming in your brain. You're wired in, cyber-enhanced and solid state as you can take it to the fatal Edge where only the toughest and coolest can go. Because you're CYBERPUNK. Cyberpunk the original roleplaying game of the dark future; a world of corporate assassins, heavy-metal heroes and brain burning cyberhackers, packed with cutting edge technology and intense urban action. Within this book, you'll find everything you need to tackle the mean streets of the 2000's -- in a game system that combines the best in realistic action and playability.Game MechanicsThe system only uses two types of dice The typical six-sided die, called a "d6" (typically for damage rolls); and a ten-sided a die called a "d10" (usually skill rolls). While the d10 can be used to make percentile (d00 or d%) rolls as seen with most RPG systems, d6s are sometimes listed as a "d6/2" or "d6/3". Which means divide the roll by 2 or 3, and round down by the nearest whole number, as noted below1d6        1  2  3  4  5  61d6/2     0  1  1  2  2  31d6/3     0  0  1  1  1  2The Interlock System is best known for its Lifepath system, a storytelling device used to create character backgrounds without particular direct benefit or drawback to the character, avoiding min-maxingStats and skills are both rated on a scale of 0-10 with 0 representing no ability/no training and 10 representing the maximum ability possible for a human being. A typical skill roll will range from 12-20 for most tasks, so a skill 10 + stat 10 will succeed at virtually any task barring a critical mishap, while a skill 0 + stat 2 (minimum statistic level for a human character) will fail at any but the very simplest task, and even then will succeed only on a critical success. Interlock builds on the typical skill-based paradigm by offering "profession" packages that give specialised abilities to characters that take these packages.
