Hi people. How are you doing? What's a good cyberpunk setting/supplement to run with SWADE? Any of them available on the FGU store?
That's pretty much it. Curious about how well SWADE does Cyberpunk style. Thanks!

There's 2 cyberpunk DLCs available; Interface Zero 3.0 Players Guide to 2095 and Sprawlrunners. Interface Zero 3.0 is more of complete setting with coverage of World locations and 5 included adventures, while Sprawlrunners is more of a toolkit/supplement. As well, if you're willing to use a companion that was originally published for Savage Worlds Deluxe, the Science Fiction Companion (I use it with SWADE without problems) also has the cybernetic implants common to cyberpunk. Both the SFC and IZ3 have content for Mecha (called Walkers in the SFC and Golemmechs in IZ3) if you're wanting to run a more anime flavor of cyberpunk.
As I was one of the setting writers for Interface Zero 2.0, I'm not going to comment on which of the 3 is the better. ;) I'll just say that you could homebrew a quality cyberpunk campaign with any of the 3, but the SFC might leave you wanting more tools.
Well, shoot - that's one of my favorite source books ever - how awesome!Quote:

Thanks! Can you run the Interface Zero 3.0 setting only with the Players guide to 2095? I thought because of the name it only had the character creation options and that's it.Quote:

Thank for the heads-up. Yes, I'm currently playing Deadlands and SWADE became already my favorite system, so I'm thinking of running all kind of settings on it. And when I grow more experienced, probably do my own setting.Quote:

Owning all 3 would allow you to run any flavor or convolution of cyberpunk your brain could imagine. Want to wage the spaceship battles of Roy Batty's "attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion" - you're covered. Want to set adventures in a gritty, cyberpunk city of the far future like Reynold's Chasm City - you're covered. Want to run an adventure for a party of runners that includes a magic wielding Street Shaman or Technomancer - you're covered. Not to mention that the SFC includes a bestiary of 100 Aliens, Xenomorphs and NPCs.
