Hi-de-ho !!
I'm due to put together some background for a game, and I thought I'd ask you kind folks what you think are the main elements that make up Cyberpunk ?? Jotting some notes at work, I have :- Large organisations in power :- Corps Governments High technology :- Cloning Nanotechnology Powerful computers Datanet Machine intelligence Cybernetics Disaffected people :- Corporate wageslaves Free thinkers Criminals Persecuted people [by religion, genetic engineering, magicness] Small group of rich Big group of poor/homeless/undocumented Global catastrophe :- Tidal waves/earthquakes/famine/disease/datanet wipeout Millions dead Areas of wilderness Contaminated areas Enclave territories Arcologies/Aquacologies Restructuring of countries/corps Being me, I'm also wanting to have :- Energy weapons Power armour Activation of energy nodes/leylines Viable magic use Space/Belter colonies Things man was not meant to know Any thoughts gratefully received :) |
