I would have totally avoided cyberware in my #Solarpunk#TTRPG... But a game with potential injuries needs fast healing if it is to be fun.... so there is the option to get cyberware with no benefits beyond "fast healing". Does anyone have a better idea of how Cyberware and Solarpunk can go together?
@solarpunk2050 I think you should challenge the assumption that a game with injuries needs fast healing to be fun.
Having a 1:1 replacement for a lost limb make the injuries meaningless, they are merely a temporary setback.
But having a visible injury and wearing a non-powered prosthetic can make a character more challenging and interesting to play, you have to live with the consequences of your past choices.
@SJohnRoss@Whidou@solarpunk2050 If pacing seems to demand fast healing but fast healing doesn't really work for the setting, there are alternatives to consider like troupe-style play. For a community-minded game, that would also suggest that in addition to more action-adventure sorts of sessions, there are slower-paced ones involving the people currently "staying home".
@SJohnRoss@pteryx@Whidou I did not have serial violence in mind. More situations like "a crippling injury caused by bad luck, play for 2 sessions and when it gets annoying spawn a side quest and look for a cure in a Norm rehab centre". I love it when a dice roll takes my story off track and introduces new plot elements. Thanks for the feedback. I will have to clarify this in the next update.
@solarpunk2050
If it‘s not heavily health-related (blood sugar sensor, pacemaker, …), then wearing tech (goggles, clothes, wristwatches, …) is much easier to install, repair, update, …
This even is true for fast healing (see e.g. The Expanse‘s AutoDoc in sickbay, StarGate‘s Goa'uld sarcophagus, Alien/Prometheus AutoDoc/MedPod, …)
Maybe even mobile, like "intelligent" band-aids or casts/splints.
