This is for players and has to do with actual play experience. (If you find none of it's relevant to your gaming experience, thanks for reading, we're all set.)

Any TTRPG you've ever played: When you're playing, what makes a setting "pop" for you? What gave you that "you are there" feeling? What did your GM tell you about the setting (whether it was homebrew or a canon detail about a pre-made setting) that made it really 'work' for you?

Here's why I ask: I'm midway through doing some worldbuilding for a campaign-setting and there's lots of really good technical stuff like a couple of guys who have worksheets for "how many people can your fantasy city's agricultural base support?" or "Where

I know it's almost unfair since so many canon things from the old Cyberpunk 2020 RPG form what Cyberpunk 2077 is about.

But: Just blue skying: what, from the stuff they haven't used or referred to yet, would you like to see made part of the sequel game, when it comes out? (Not what's likely or what you thing CDPR would do- 'what would you like'?).

(I have some, I'll share them as we go, I'm more curious about yours).

I was wondering if anyone could remember more than these two:

-The Freebird Rule: (Fabulous Freebirds). A three-man group can compete as a 2-man tag team using any two of the three, provided that they announce the change prior to the bell ringing (that is, no making a 2-man team wrestle a three-man team, at the time). The New Day sometimes used it, under the nickname "the Gleebird Rule."

-The Outlaw Rule: (New Age Outlaws). No matter what other rules are in effect, you can't have a tag team retain a title by having one member of the tag team pin the other member of that same tag team. (This happened after one "everyone's legal" match where the Outlaws beat the Outlaws, by pinning t

Definition of term: By 'doctored up', I'm borrowing a term some bakers use where they take a boxed cake mix and add a bit of this and that and now they have a 'homemade style' cake.

In this case, I'm trying to shorthand: How have you taken a commercial setting (FR in particular, but I'm interested in general too) and made it fit your table, feel like it's "your setting" or "your party's setting" (as opposed to "where the novels are all set" or something).

Just interested in swapping notes. I've been working on something for later use and wanted to see what people are doing, lately.

So... to who? And in exchange for what? Was it, like, the Canadian version of the devil that hangs out at The Crossroads waiting for blues singers who don't want to just practice?

Its the part about the specificity about isolated churches and overall movements and stuff that felt kind of like the last time I really was interested in what Willis had to say about things larger than campus hijinks.

Thoughts? I also thought it might make people nostalgic.

Did they ever say (or suggest) what they might sound like? I have a vague notion, but mainly I wanted to ask, and (if they show never explicitly said) ask what people think they might be like.

(This goes for people who have kids in school or who are themselves currently students).

When I was in school, while we had Current Events discussions, the actual syllabus ended about 20 years before the time. What are the most recent events that get covered, now?
