Well Trick Or Treat, are you in for a surprise...
The big news is the Datafortress 2020 Cyberpunk Archive. It is an
understatement to say I scoured the net, visiting every single english
speaking syberpunk site on earth. In fact, I did more than that. I
used the Internt Wayback Machine to scour every Cyberpunk 2020 site that
EVER EXISTED. I grabbed absolutely every article and file I could find
that was worth grabbing. I reformatted all the HTML, DOC, and RTF files
into PDF's, in any case where it was possible including the original
illustrations that went with the files. And now I present them all to
you. The largest archive of the net generated Cyberpunk 2020 material
in HISTORY. Nearly 350 files, many of them haven't been available in
years. Articles from the greats whose websites are either no longer
with us, or merely unmaintained and rotting. Those greats, whose ranks
include in no certain order; Paul "Nightflyer" Romine, Daniel "Superdan"
Bailey, Gary "Ocelot" Astleford and Amy "Mockery" Luthor, Christian
Conkle, Morninman (never did find his real name), Villa Straylight,
Michael Van Atta, Jim and Peta Lawrie, Joe Kleman, Andrew James, Ben
Morgan, Karsten Voight, Pablo Zagal, Dave "Knighthawk" Simpson, Mark
Cook, Agamemnon, Thumper, Dana Jorgenson, Dextra and Hound, Flipper is
Dead, The UK Thinktank, Cyco, Beezdek, Eric Bergbauer, and Paul Minor,
are the ones who inspired me all these years running Datafortress, and
this Archive is my way of saying thank you and showing my respect, and
ensuring that their work is not lost or forgotten.
The Interlock Unlimited Core Rules updated. NEW COVER, the Datafortress
2020 Girl has been removed from the front cover (though she does appear
on the back cover). Feedback was that it was kind of off-putting for
some people to have her on the front cover, also replaced a few
questionable images inside the book with more "tasteful" pieces.
Martial arts only do half their level as a damage bonus now, and
Brawl/Melee add+1 per 3 levels. Bludgeoning damage to the head is no
longer doubled. As much as I hate mixing the two, I replaced the metric
system for distance with American standard so meters became yards (which
allows the use of feet as a measurement) but everything else remains
metric. I really do hate mixing the two, but the metric system really
needs something smaller than a meter and bigger than a centimeter, and
for everythign else, metric just makes more sense. Rockets and missiles
now directly oppose the targets Pilot vehicle check, instead of just
having a target DC like most weapons... The impetus behind this is that
Rockets and missiles move slowly enough to be seen, thus can be reacted
two before they hit.
Interlock Limited is the Interlock System, shaved down to it�s absolute
bare minimum. It is intended to be a system to introduce beginners to
roleplaying using the Interlock (detailed by setting in Cyberpunk 2020,
Mekton, or Teenagers from Outer Space) or Interlock Unlimited (the
advanced, repaired, expanded and streamlined version of Interlock)
systems. It also works well for pick up games, and one shots, or even
for PVP style arena combat between players.
In addition, Forgotten Realms and Shadowrun Novelist and author of the
Cyberpunk 2020 Sourcebook Live and Direct, Lisa Smedman, has given me
her blessing to host the 3 adventures she wrote for Cyberpunk 2020 while
working at Adventures Unlimited Magazine. Mrs. Smedman is a delightful
woman and one hell of a writer, and I am proud to be the one to bring
these forgotten gems back to the public.
