	Fear and Loathing in the Secret Service (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		GURPS Cyberpunk is but one module of the General Universal Role Playing System ("GURPS").
		GURPS Cyberpunk is a supplement to the GURPS Basic Set, giving the players specific rules and background material needed to play a game that takes place in a "cyperpunk" setting.
		GURPS Cyberpunk extrapolates the present net into a future where it is a pervasive element of everyday life.

		GURPS Cyberpunk, alleged a Secret Service agent to astonished businessman Steve Jackson, was "a manual for computer crime." "It's science fiction," Jackson said.
		GURPS Cyberpunk, now published and available from Steve Jackson Games (Box 18957, Austin, Texas 78760), does discuss some of the commonplaces of computer-hacking, such as searching through trash for useful clues, or snitching passwords by boldly lying to gullible users.
		GURPS Cyberpunk, while it failed to match Satanic Verses, sold fairly briskly.

	Bruce Sterling - The Hacker Crackdown
		"Cyberpunk" was a term given to certain science fiction writers who had entered the genre in the 1980s.
		The raid, known as the "Cyberpunk Bust" in the science fiction community, was winning a great deal of free national publicity both for Jackson himself and the "cyberpunk" science fiction writers generally.
		The Futurians were every bit as offbeat and wacky as any of their spiritual descendants, including the cyberpunks, and were given to communal living, spontaneous group renditions of light opera, and midnight fencing exhibitions on the lawn.

	Boing Boing: Ex Machina: cyberpunk tabletop RPG
		The game is part of the dX system, which, like Steve Jackson Games's GURPS, is a generic set of rules for tabletop role-playing, intended to be supplemented with thematic rule-books that allow players to game in any kind of world, from high fantasy to wild west to underwear-and-tights superheros.
		As a genre, cyberpunk has the kind of potential for wish-fulfillment and adventure that appeals to a lot of us, and it's a short step from daydreaming about embedded neural interfaces, reflex augmentation, and dystopian gang-wars to playing them out in collaborative gaming experiences.
		The authors may have reduced cyberpunk to numeric formulae, but they've also shown how those formulae can be used to generate original, compelling, surprising sf.

		The "cyberpunk" SF writers were a small group of mostly college- educated white middle-class litterateurs, scattered through the US and Canada.
		Talsorian's Cyberpunk was a fairly decent game, but the mechanics of the simulation system left a lot to be desired.
		GURPS Cyberpunk, like the other GURPS "modules," was not a "game" like a Monopoly set, but a book: a bound paperback book the size of a glossy magazine, with a slick color cover, and pages full of text, illustrations, tables and footnotes.

		The "cyberpunk" SF writers are a small group of mostly college-educated white litterateurs, without conspicuous criminal records, scattered through the US and Canada.
		Talsorian's "Cyberpunk" was a fairly decent game, but the mechanics of the simulation system sucked, and the nerds who wrote the manual were the kimd of half-hip twits who wrote their own fake rock lyrics and, worse yet, published them.
		Instead, they allowed the misapprehension to spread that they had raided Steve Jackson to stop the publication of a book: GURPS Cyberpunk.

	RPGnet: The Inside Scoop on Gaming
		Rather than discussing why Cyberpunk 2020 is the gold standard right away (we will get to that soon enough) I wanted to mention why the games I am disqualifying as a benchmark failed to impress.
		Cyberpunk 2020 is a great game from a mechanical standpoint, but it was always presented with a flair that made it look even better.
		The 'New Kids' of cyberpunk are the games that have been released since 2001, and are definitely marketed or perceived by the fans as cyberpunk; whether they are cyberpunk remains to be seen, but we will get to that.

		Cyberpunk discussion not involving roleplaying or roleplaying games might do better in alt.cyberpunk or some group in alt.cyberpunk hierarchy.

		As it happened, this never came out because the decision to launch GURPS 4E saw this and many other GURPS 3E projects cancelled or remodelled, but the concept was identical to what has now become the 4E version of GURPS Fantasy.
		GURPS Cyberpunk looked just like a modern HERO System line from the moment it first came out, back in 1990.
		GURPS doesn't quite have that situation, but they're not all that far off when you look at how the sourcebooks relate to each other.

	WPage / GURPS Godzilla
		Unfortunately, GURPS as a system is not perfectly suited to kilopoint campaigns, but with care this can be a valid play style.
		GURPS Godzilla interpretation: When the travelers first came to 1992, they checked up on Godzilla, and teleported him to the Aleutian Trench.
		For the purposes of GURPS Godzilla, is is assumed that the oxygen destroyer skeletonized the original (1954) Godzilla, but that enough cells were left that he regenerated over the next 30 years, and re-emerged in 1984.

		GURPS, in turn, is a role-playing system with rules designed to accommodate any genre or setting.
		Given the widespread popularity of GURPS, and the substantial number of non-GURPS-playing gamers who nevertheless buy the occasional Worldbook for inspiration, the question "What will GURPS do next?" is a perennial topic of speculation in the gaming community.
		In Cthulhupunk, people fear to realize that they are insignificant specks of dust who have absolutely no control over their destiny, and are confronted with inexplicable fossils, forbidden lore of insane gods and genetic taints that rob them of their humanity.

	The Dark Future in Four-Color
		The dark future dystopia of cyberpunk has lent itself to being blended with many other genres, from the fantasy magic of Shadowrun to the creeping eldrich horror of Cthulupunk.
		Superhero campaigns can be advanced into a Superpunk era by projecting them 50 to 100 years into the future and cyberpunk campaign worlds can be modified by adding some additional background to them to account for the presence of metahumans and super-powers.
		The cult might just be a cover from some bizarre scam or a front for a group of psionic supers but it might also be for real, in which case it's going to be a real hot time in the old town tonight.

		"To Thine Own Self Be True" was a GURPS Cyberpunk/Voodoo campaign that we played from 2/1/96 to 11/7/96.
		The setting was the "usual" cyberpunk one- marauding rape gangs, huge bloodthirsty corporations, random and senseless violence, etc; basically, a bleak and oppressive future.
		Unfortunately much of it was scanned straight out of GURPS Cyberpunk, so I'm unwilling to post it for public consumption.

		Transhuman Space and Blue Planet are all good in themselves, but I just want a straight up Cyberpunk game with a solid system and a setting that updates all the ideas and themes to this century, much like Ghost in the Shell (in its various incarnations) has done.
