Trauma team will literally do anything but provide company therapy for it’s employees

[@DarkZedCannon]

My cyber punk fix has arrived again!

[@Roastedweenuk]

I’m just about to start a campaign as the GM and none of us have played before. Just want to say that your videos are helping me greatly with shaping the world and plot line.

[@TDawgBR]

I am the exact same boat. These videos have been a great dive into the lore of the Cyberpunk universe and providing an amazing foundation for my campaign.

[@EnactingAnEra]

@@TDawgBR Not playing online are you? Been looking for a table forever but it’s so hard to find any Cyberpunk campaigns

[@BlueBD]

With a name like 6th street its kinda hard to not be seen as a gang lol.

[@payton.a.elliott]

These longer vids are super preem! Currently prepping stuff for my weekly Cyberpunk RED game while listening to this in the background.

[@TruKriegsaffeNo9]

I like the implication that the Scavs of 2077 budded off from the "scavers" of the Maelstrom--thus their insular and aggressive nature, their overlap with Maelstrom's themes, and their grungy aesthetic. That and their not sharing territory with Maelstrom! (Or is that just what I'm reading into with the "scavvers...?" Entirely possible.)

[@candideoptimism8775]

Scavs aren’t a gang… they’re just poor people willing to murder you and rip out your implants. the Scavs of 2077 are largely Russian and are loosely connected groups with relations to the Bratva and the USSR…

[@digivagrant]

13:06 I guess clussy was a thing even in the '87s

[@Sorarixicaric]

The clussy shall never die. OuO

[@beige_projection]

Really love this documentary style on the Cyberpunk lore. Thanks for this! enjoyed every minute of it and learning more about the world of my favorite game.

[@_hi_pwr]

Thank you, been waiting for a report on danger gal for a while now.

[@orelyosif5852]

Trauma Team is a team of traumatised people. I see what they did there

[@fredblues7175]

I am interested in a few things. 1, the business end of the gangs. I doubt Maelstrom ultra chromed potential cyber-psycho 's sit on the board and shake hands with other leaders in other businesses. Basically, the suits that keep the businesses up and profitable. 2, playing the game, I do see smaller gangs, mostly Scavvers and Thugs, which look like they work for Maelstrom. I am curious about the lesser gangs that are independent or work for the big ones. 3, Have the Steel Dragons ever come to Night City? I am not sure if the Tyger Claws would consider them pals or gangmates or enemies.

[@akakaze1364]

These videos are always top-notch.

[@kiruppert]

You know… If Mike Pondsmith said Morgan Blackhand survived the Night City Holocaust, I bet he’s Knock-Knock. Older guy, cares about collateral damage, hyper-protective of his identity, and doesn’t hang between missions and super-detailed firsthand info about the Corporate Wars? Sounds like a match to me.

[@ZRFehr]

I literally just picked up the Dossier the other night after watching one of your other videos that touched on it a bit. How ironic lol. Hello from a new sub!

[@dylanwarner6035]

Amazing stuff dude love these

[@jamesjay11]

Once again, I appreciate the effort you put into the vids. Congrats and I'm sorry for you starting Grad School, it's a tough thing to do, but ultimately worth it. Keep it up my guy.

[@ladooshka]

Thank you for the video! I still haven't played it but i like to watch your reviews ☺️

[@KingFluffs]

I love these videos.

[@jasondriscoll1491]

love this vid, loving the lore

[@starpaladinnelaj]

Preem content choom! Also a good day when you're vids appear in my subscription box. And congrats on entering graduates school!

[@rikhenry9701]

I've always done better with learning audibly so listening to this after I got the Cyberpunk books from Humble Bundle some months ago really drummed things into my head better. Thank you!

[@CurtRose]

Very informative. Makes me want to introduce my players to Cyberpunk. This has been a very interesting video and I thank you.

[@tracespanton6777]

man i was hoping for just a little more on Trace Santiago, but its awesome hes in here!

[@Odyssey_Seeker]

I have never clicked on a video so quickly!

[@enjoyer3000]

Cyberpunk 2: The Bozos Civil War is the game humanity needs😂 had no idea about this gang, just thought Ozob was a stand-alone juggalo reference

[@joakimbjorkgren3511]

And that is how Cyberpunk 2 became a horror survival game.🤣

[@darkhobo]

I lile how the Bozos are just 1990s Juggalos. Full stop.

[@charlesgander9369]

Holy crap, is it really nearly 30 years since juggalos became a thing, i feel old.

[@Gilboron]

It's nice to have proper backstories for the pregenerated characters, that's pretty cool :)

[@thefuturist1867]

hey post more stuff man please!!!

[@pariahdog6703]

"Kid gangs" are always the weakest point of an IP

[@S1l_v2r]

It's weird that you did not mension rogue and her new team. I might have understood it incorrectly but by that time rogue has already gotten herself a seat in after life after working for a while with arasaka. Would be interesting to know why danger gals did not catch on to that. On an other note, man you sound 30 and doing graduation school? I'm not from America so I'm a little confused.

[@WatchmanGamingLore]

The Danger Gal Dossier is mostly focused on fleshing out bigger factions and gangs in the city, with a somewhat random collection of Edgerunners added in. Rogue is a notable Fixer and mentor to other Edgerunners at the time, but that’s not really what the book was about. I worked during my twenties and decided to do graduate school several years after I graduated college. I’m a bit older than some, but taking a gap and working between college and graduate school isn’t entirely unusual in America these days.

[@danielhogan6255]

corspe reviver should be named "Glowstick" in my mind... She looks like the biggest cyberpunk raver of all time *picks up agent* Me: "call mike pondsmith" Agent: "Im sorry, i could not underst-" Me: "CALL. MIKE. PONDSMITH!"

[@olknoxlo]

She’s got great skills in Accounting, Business, and Bureaucracy. She also has both the Mr. Studd and Ms. Midnight implants.

[@GOWvMatchstick]

damn I wish all this stuff made it into 2077, like the Forlorn Hope is in the game files but not in the game. And look at all these borged out people, why can't I do that? lol

[@armchairphilosopher6880]

Congrats on getting into school!

[@Carnefice]

What massive cultural shifts happen in order to cause large numbers of black men to enlist with a combat arms MOS? That's the most unrealistic part of 6th Street and the setting in general, IMO.

[@Tonius126]

There is no alternative gang thats why. Vodoo boys are now closed-nit Haitians and Animals takes in whomever.

[@TheCyber416]

Cyberware does cause massive psyche changes short term and long term it was said to advance faster than society could so I would assume that causes the cultural shift. As to how exactly that would be a cool detail for someone or a source book to cover.

[@WiseOwl_1408]

Some groups sound like real world snowflakes

[@elenasfait8799]

An anul 1993 era m ansarcinata și socrul meu știa de ceva strălucitor an făget și tot an acel an pana sa nu nasc o murit? 😮
