Re: Build a Cyberpunk Setting
It's the only sane way to develop a campaign world.

Re: Build a Cyberpunk Setting
Phooey. The energy bars are going to be competing for space in my armored long coat with my spare ammunition. I guess there are reasons it's a dystopia. :)

Re: Build a Cyberpunk Setting

And as for the fresh food - I can see pad Thai and Nasi-goreng style dishes being very useful when you are cooking with you-wish-it-was-a-mystery meat and random plant pieces. |

Re: Build a Cyberpunk Setting
I'd suggest a few things,
Keeping in the theme of transhumanism make Psionics new and either part of man-made evolution or an unintended effect of industrialization on huamans. If psychic ability came from alien interference make a very obvious link between the cover-up of what's going on on Mars and the shadowy organziations that watch and document psychic ability. Make your middle-east conflict corporate rather than cultural. Basically once oil companies got their claws into government influence the entire region became a thousand corporate plutocracies overnight but nothing in the character of the region changed. Now there are corporate terrorists blowing themselves up. Make population centers around the decimated areas massively paranoid about disease, like you have to be tested in isolation for two hours before you can travel from uptown to downtown or city center. Nobody shakes hands, nobody gives gifts or eats foods that aren't packaged and microwaved. |

I really doubt all that stir-fry is going to be made freshly or from fresh ingredients too. I do wonder where all the (pseudo)Mexican street food has gone. You'd think there'd still be enough Mexican refugees even if Mexicao proper has gone to hell.

I've had fusion sushi before. It's not bad. Chimichanga bites I think it was.

Re: Build a Cyberpunk Setting
I thought I'd crowdsource some names and areas of expertise for megacorps. Anyone got any ideas? I'll start off with one:
Van Dorian Industries: From tech to toys, VDI is a massive corporation that spans the globe worth more than some small countries. VDI was the company that reverse-engineered COG technology to create the smaller, more wearable Ajax-29 battlesuit that saw so much use during the Nightstalker Wars. Their efforts also helped to revolutionize the cybernetics industry and are the creators of modern day synthfiber used in cybernetics, combat walkers, and other battlesuits.
