Okay, but if your cyperpunk RPG has “d20 plus modifier vs target number” action resolution, 4-8 ability scores, skill bonuses, feats, classes, races/ancestries/backgrounds… You’re going to need to explain how it’s NOT like D&D. And if you proceed to describe PbtA, I will laugh at you.
I won’t shame you for being like D&D. I will shame you for pretending you’re not.
That’s why a proper cyberpunk RPG needs to be entirely D6. So many D6s that you need both hands to roll them all, and a baking sheet to keep them from rolling off the table.
nah its just piles and piles of d6s and 9 in-game seconds of combat take 3-4 hours of irl time (and 2-3 months off GM lifetime) guess what are we playing 😌
We’ve been playing for years and dropping 30+ is totally normal at our table, 40+ if someone went overboard with dermal armor or if your APC just collided with an earth spirit

Og cyberpunk used a d10

Pathfinder, but towards Argentina?
Peanut butter the Archmage?
Powered by the Apocalypse
No I think viking hippie was right
He’s close: Pathfinder, but towards Albania.
The d20 System, used as the basis for D&D 3rd edition, was in fact explicitly made to accommodate different settings and additions.
It depends what you mean by “like d&d”. I’ve heard the phrase is used by different groups to mean:

No need to guess - it’s Shadowrun, chummer.
I knew it was too easy
Shadowrun pitches d6’s like Warhammer does and is the only RPG I know of that uses them so egregiously

Specifically 2nd edition
D12 is objectively the best dice and I need to find a system that’ll let me use them more.
D4 is objectively the best because you can use them as dice and weapons.
Daggerheart is a 2d12 system for players, but it remains a d20 system for GMs
