We ran into the "our GM is dying and the other GM isn't here" problem. So I decided to go ahead and run a Cyberpunk Red game that can serve as a backup.

Problem is, while there's plenty to like about CPR, the economy is garbage for playing anything not set in the "Time of the Red", aka the vaguely post-apocalyptic setting they (for some reason) chose for the new edition of the game.

I recognise that the Council has made a decision. But given that it's a stupid-ass decision, I've elected to ignore it.

So instead I'm running the game in the 2070s. Which meant unfucking their economic system and updating their gear.

Which was fairly simple, but time-consuming.

See, Red went hard on the generic gear idea, which is fucking stupid for a cyberpunk game, especially a Cyberpunk game. See Council decision, above.

So I just ripped that system straight out and went ahead with converting all the weapons from 2020 over to Red in a way that was far better and less stupid than the half-assed way they've decided to do their conversions and specific weapons.

Don't get me started on their "exotics". They spent a rather large paragraph explaining that a flamethrower was technically a shotgun but not really, instead of, y'know, just statting a flamethrower.

But yes. Now the conversion doc is started, and I'm actually almost finished. Need to add sniper rifles, since 2020's core didn't include them at all, aside from a single 20mm antimateriel rifle, and a handful of other things like grenades (I always forget grenades).
