Epsiode 261 - Updating Cyberpunk

RPG Design Panelcast

Recorded at Metatopia 2020

Presented by Dexter Duckworth, Elsa Sjunneson.

The Distant Future, the Year 2000: Updating Cyberpunk for the 21st Century. The hard-hitting themes of social inequality and corporate exploitation found in cyberpunk are as relevant now as they were in the 80's, but not everything in the genre has stood the test of time. This panel will dive into how both the technologies and sensibilities found in cyberpunk can be updated in order to design games that are timely and inclusive.
