Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Valatar on June 22, 2024, 11:37:53 PMUnsurprisingly Catalyst ruined everything and they added the tranny sideline in 6th edition that sticking cyberboobs on a man won't cost essence because they're in line with his aura's "true self" or whatever, while an actual woman getting a bioware uterus replacement does have to pay essence for it.  I guess a working uterus wasn't part of her true self.

GAH! What the actual fuck? So if I want to add cyberclaws cause my 'true self' is a Cat, I don't have to pay essence costs?

It was more that largely cosmetic cyber or that which only restores a missing piece (which can include things like real-life dental replacement implants and, yes, breast implants) didn't cost Essence. A functional set of breasts (capable of lactation) would cost Essence and would be bioware rather than cyber. By the same token, a strickly cosmetic alteration of your nails to look like claws wouldn't cost Essence, but fuctional weapons--especially if they retract--would cost Essence.

That's still bag of hammers level stupid.

Here're the relevant clips from the book, and yes, if your true self is a cat, you can have free cyberclaws.

Quote from: Valatar on June 22, 2024, 11:37:53 PMThere's no point in playing anything more recent than 3rd or 4th edition as far as Shadowrun goes, 5th is a significant downgrade once they stopped paying good writers and 6th is a tire fire of badly-written cobbled-together garbage.  Unsurprisingly Catalyst ruined everything and they added the tranny sideline in 6th edition that sticking cyberboobs on a man won't cost essence because they're in line with his aura's "true self" or whatever, while an actual woman getting a bioware uterus replacement does have to pay essence for it.  I guess a working uterus wasn't part of her true self.

So Shadowrun became Cyberpunk 2020?

Shadowrun always had the essence cost associated with cyberwear.  Essence is tied to magic so the more you loose the less magic you can perform.

I was more referring to the heavy bio-tech stuff. SR by I think 3rd ed had introduced biomods. But not on the scale CP 2020 had.

Like I said. with each new edition SR's teeth get pulled more and more.

Are there even any evil megacorps left at this point? Or do they all just sell ice cream and candy now?

What about Cyberpunk Red? If Shadowrun is a bust, then hopefully Cyberpunk Red is free from woke agenda bullshit.

Metatype affirming surgery?

I remember Shadowrun originally had "elf poseur" gangs.

There was also a novel about a genius kid turned into a troll when magic came back (or puberty, don't remember), then spent the next decades trying to research how to reverse it, finally solved it but by that time had come to terms with being a troll and so deleted it.
