And it's totally worth the $15 in Capitalism dollars, IMO. If you want to support R. Talsorian, get some splats with 2020's Core Rulebook and RED's demo kit, get it?

    No, " Interlock " system. D6's. So you can just use one dice and roll it multiple times if super poor. Otherwise if you have Magic: the Gathering dice for counters, you pretty much are already set.

    It's VERY different from DnD/D20. The "Friday Night Firefight" for instance is a little more brutal/closer to killing you than D20/DnD.

        Well, Pondsmith supposedly rebalanced it in RED, but I can't 100% tell you since the only RED/4E in there is the demo/Jumpstart kit which is in the same tier as the 2020/2E.

        It's worth it for the Lore books alone. Pondsmith put a lot of work into Night City and how America came to be, even if a lot of 2020 is outdated now a days in terms of technology level (Fax machines being the major news source/news printer, for instance)
