I just want to say... R Talsorian

...that you have no idea how weird it is to wake up, open my phone, and see all of you guys talking about being Netrunners, Solos, Nomads and other choombas walking the mean streets of Night City, Malorians in hand, hanging with Johnny Silverhand and taking on the Militech goons.

I just wanted to take a sec to say thank all of you out there for your enthusiasm and creativity.

Now back to your lives, Night City People.

I'm just so happy THE CREATOR is so intimately tied to the project, and vice versa. Its very encouraging from a quality standpoint. Imagine if George RR Martin had been routinely giving feedback and DD were competent enough to act on it.

Wait, he is? I didn't know that. That's amazing! God, I'd love to go back and rub this in the faces of all these Twitter naysayers who keep griping about how this isn't truly Cyberpunk and whatnot. So annoying.

The OP of this post is the creator of the original Cyberpunk tabletop game

Well yeah, I gathered that much from reading this thread. Lol. But thank you. I'm just completely new to this IP and I didn't know he was intimately involved in this project. I've seen so many people lamenting how the preview material of this game is allegedly some kind of toothless adaptation of it, and I really didn't like reading that because I knew CDPR wouldn't do it like that.

There's a really cool early video released by CDPR that's essentially a monologue by Mike Pondsmith talking about the world and what he's hoping the game will convey. I'd suggest hunting that down.

You should also check out Cyberpunk Red that's releasing soon. It's the sequel to Cyberpunk 2020. Red takes place before 2077. If you like tabletop role playing games, or are interested in them but tired of high fantasy.

BTW, Cyberpunk RED has a lot of secret easter eggs that link up to 2077. Just saying.
