Our house rule with intent examines the common complaint of Cyberpunk Red’s lethality, and illustrates that even simple adjustments can seriously affect the intended balance of the game. Our fun house rule takes an older modification to Cyberpunk 2020 and advances it to the new rules, providing a minor tweak that adds some randomness and fun at the table. As noted in the earlier article, House Rules can be ‘for fun’ or to fix something, so I’ve provided examples of both. Given that, I thought that it would be useful to examine a few elements of Cyberpunk Red and see what would happen if we used House Rules to change them. Given the age of the game and the number of sessions people have played so far, though, it’s likely that we’re all jumping the gun a little bit.Īs I discussed last month in my article about House Rules, understanding the intent of the rule being changed is key to implementing a House Rule that improves the experience, as is doing the math on what your rule will change. Being the successor to a popular game, Cyberpunk Red was always going to get compared to its previous edition, Cyberpunk 2020, and many of the changes between the two fall in the crosshairs of enthusiastic gamers, especially if they don’t appear to work the way fans wanted or expected from the previous game. For this we’ll be using the new system that my group is bringing to our table: Cyberpunk Red.Ĭyberpunk Red has been out barely more than a month and already the internet is on fire with rules critiques and adjustments. This new System Hack series, In Practice, is about looking at common hacks and modifications that can be used when your group brings a new system to your table. Welcome back to System Hack! In the past, System Hack has been about new games and experiences, either building out mechanics for a generic system ( Genesys Mecha) or using an existing game as inspiration to create something new ( Cyberpunk Chimera).
