 This group had several CP 2020 fans, enough to keep Shadowrun fans away.  But
they all disappeared when the group became unmoderated.  And yes there were
flame wars when the lone Shadowrunner would post here. 8) Ah the sweet memories
of yesterweek.  And yes, while 2020 has its faults(armour layering for one),
it is IMHO the present best Cyberpunk game out now.

 Please don't take this the wrong way Shadowrun players, but the only people I
know who play Shadowrun played munchkin DnD and ADnD.  (I also know people of
similar mindset who play CP 2020, but they decided to GM their own version
using the When Gravity Fails setting when they found how gritty CP 2020 can be.)

 Yeah, a nice death rate, almost as high as Call of Cthulhu... 8) And CP 2020
has not only the rules to support the mood, they have such nice little
suggestions and tips too...

actually, hasn't 2020 been out for at least 4 years
i remember playing 2013 in 10th grade (i'm a sophomore in college now)
and then 2020 came out shortly thereafter...

so it's hardly new, and also a revision of a previous system...

about the rest of the system, the only thing i can think to say about
cyberpunk 2020 is that I play it a lot, and my description of it is
SPLUNGE

	CP2020 has many faults, but most of them are readily fixable (armour
layering, for one)

	Another thing I like about CP2020 is that the basic rules are fairly
generic.  Change the skills, gear and lifepath and your set.  I'm running a 
campaign set in the present time, where the players are occult investigators,
and I simply deleted Cyberware, told the players to document whatever prices
and gear they wanted, added a magick system courtesy of P.E.I.Bonewitz and
made some obvious modifications to available skills.  Voila! Instant horror! 
The mods to get a medieval campaign going are somewhat more involved, but
still not bad.
	New roles are also readily created, which should eliminate the GURPS
fan's cry of "No More Character Classes!"

=========================================

	There's at least 50 people that I know that play CP2020.  I like it.
My only real complaint is the inclusion of nanotech in the game, and the AI 
threshold is too low.  Other than that, t'is way cool.  I'm running a game
based in 2020's Canada... It's a fair bit of work not using the pre-fab
NightCIty stuff, but its worth it.
