Netrunning made fast and easy
Hey y'all. Thought I'd share this Netrunning guide for Cyberpunk 2020 I whipped up yesterday. Maybe you'll find it helpful to steal from or add to! I just wanted a quick system to run Netrunner NPCs without taking everyone's time at the table, but still maintain some risk and suspense.
Quick overview:
- does away with complex Cyberdeck building/program lists in favor of one "Cyberdeck Level" number for the Netrunner, with guidelines for how to upgrade/level up.
- does away almost entirely with Net combat. The Netrunner makes actions in the system, and the system reacts based on pass/fail/fumbles. No considerations as to how multiple Netrunners teaming up would work... but it's just not the situation my table is in. Probably easy enough to adapt if your players want to do that.
- All you need to know about the hacked system is one "Security Level" number (how much awareness, defense, and power it has to fight off attack).
Link is here if you want to check it out! Open to suggestions/criticism but keep in mind the goal for me is to simplify, simplify, simplify.
