Straight from the Screamsheets 7/27/2018

Its the weekend before Gen Con but that doesn’t stop the internet! Here’s some highlights about R. Talsorian Games from around the web.

The Headline

Johnny Chiodini of Eurogamer has released the second in his video series comparing character creation in what he’s seen from Cyberpunk 2077 with Cyberpunk 2020. This week, he’s looking at augmentations (that’s cyberware to you and me, choomba!). Watch the video to the end to hear a special announcement concerning Cyberpunk 2020!

If you prefer the written word, Mister Chiodini has also typed up his thoughts to share as an article over on the Eurogamer site.

The Witcher News

The big The Witcher TRPG news this week involves lead designer Cody Pondsmith’s Q&A session on the #randomworlds IRC channel. A full transcript of the two-plus hour session has been posted over on The Hardboiled GMShoe’s Office. If you want a preview of what’s going to be inside the book, this is the single best place to check so far!
