Cyberpunk Seminar (1st Camera)

[@AnimusValus]

I feel so bad for Mike Pondsmith. He makes like a thousand great jokes and nobody laughed at any of them.

[@michawojciechowski7878]

milenials:)

[@chaosmeisters6781]

Yea, this is so weird. What's with the crowd?

[@thekitsunewavefunctionband7168]

Tough crowd

[@RTalsorianGames]

People did. It just isn't as obvious in this video.

[@williammccoll5563]

@@RTalsorianGames Dad jokes am I right?

[@joefinberg8387]

"I've been trying to ignore you for months, but it's not working, you married my son" Mike is a straight-up savage!

[@S.Parrow]

All these people with their "I've been waiting 5 years for this game!" should try waiting 30 years for this game. I just found my highschool binder from 1989 with CYBERPUNK written down the spine and a cyber arm drawn on the front.

[@lenowin]

Ditto, though it's more like 25 years for me.

[@carnoth9864]

LaCrossian I know the feeling. Started playing in 1989 and have always wanted to see a video game based on this. I feel old.

[@calgarmaximus]

I'm just starting to GM stuff at 23, and I can't wait for this to come out

[@observationsfromthebunker9639]

I hear you dude, it's been that long for me too, even merged the game with my MEKTON 2 rules back in the day to give the guys something a little different to go with their mecha bashing.

[@dos_feratu]

Yes! I got the original box set in the summer of '88 just before my senior year of high school and the Friday Night Firefight book in particular was revolutionary. The father of the gal I was dating at the time was a senior Special Agent for an alphabet agency and I remember he asked what I was reading. I showed him the introduction, and he agreed with the statistical comments about firefights being messy, chaotic and close-quarters. I could elaborate further, but I'll just say THANKS, that I STILL play the pen & paper game, and agree that seeing this franchise still going places with Mike - is phenomenal.

[@rileypresley1665]

Look at this amazing nerd, the king of the nerds. He's awesome.

[@ParagonSuperNova]

I could listen to Pondsmith talk all day. I wish he was my college professor lol.

[@n0isyturtle]

He was a terrible teacher. His expectations were so high one semester he failed an entire class and got fired over it. Smart man, bad teacher.

[@AintPopular]

I love these videos. Never stop making them. Until the games released at least

[@johnemmanacosta2272]

Ak47 they were too busy being mesmerized by his coolness haha

[@dff1286]

I worked in a game shop back when Cyberbunk 2020 was in its Prime, Those were some great times. Its a thrill to see it coming back to life and even more thrilling to see that you are very active with it so we know we are getting the true Cyberpunk experience.

[@jayj.7621]

Oh snap, a whole hour of Maximum Mike in his natural habitat? Now I really regret not going to GenCon! I'm glad you guys posted this. Much appreciated, choombas! ;)

[@Spacewitchofthelittledancer]

Jay Surname I was there and I am only just now realizing who Mike is and how fudging cool he is. I am so stoked he lives in Seattle.

[@DarthRaver-og7qq]

God I cannot wait for Cyberpunk 2077. There has never been a game before that I was this hyped for. Its my favorite genre and the world just looks amazing. Thank you Mike for everything you do and allowing this to happen. The gaming industry will be better for it.

[@Jake7inchnails]

[@paulvalentine4157]

Can you imagine walking into a class and it was taught by Professor Pondsmith! Talk about a semester to remember. Thank you for all the work!

[@ericlinder317]

Mike Pondsmith; just so you know it, playing in a game of Cyberpunk 2020 with you GMing is at the top of my bucket list! :)

[@old_spice8054]

I will buy this for a Edollar!

[@daviddadamo2290]

Mike Pondsmith is a treasure. It is so great that CDPR has brought him and his world to our attention.

[@ProjectChaos77]

Right. It won’t be long now until we get to finally play this masterpiece.

[@theayahk]

This is really enjoyable to watch. Thank you so much for capturing this on film for us 😊

[@HiddeneyeInc]

Was such a pleasure to meet you in the 90's at a con I forget where it was but Mike was so great to sign my entire Cp book collection. One of the few things that hurt to loose in the wildfires that took my home in 2020 in Washington state.

[@wewuzkangz4723]

LOVE THE GREEN STRIPE! I played D&D as a kid and similar games but I never heard of Cyberpunk until CDPR got involved. I wish I had known about this when I was a kid! We would've ditched D&D in a second for this table top. I'll probably never play the table top game now but I'm absolutely stoked on the video game. Mike Pondsmith is about to make millions, all his hard work is paying off. Can't thank Mike and CDPR enough for bringing this game to life. FINALLY SOMETHING FRESH IN THE VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY. We're f#@%ing starving for this! This will be the first time I've ever bought the special edition of a video game for myself. And I'll be buying 3 standard editions aswell. One for a close friend and one for each my two cousins

[@manaclash]

Absolute legend, you can tell he is a wonderful guy, despite all of his PC killing!

[@gilwenlive]

glad you guys are back!

[@SK-bu1ft]

Great to hear from Maximum Mike, sounds like 2077 is going to actualize CP in a way we've all been waiting 30 yrs for. Red sounds very interesting, love the local authors writing location supplements emphasis.

[@M0chit0]

I've finished the main quest story of Cyberpunk 2077 and... Oh man, what an amazing game. Thank you Mike and Talsorian, CDPR and Poland for this marvellous game 🎮 🎲 🤖 ♥

[@interjectrobot]

I recently bought a copy of cyberpunk 2020 directly from you guys. I'm so happy I was able to do so instead of paying the scalpers on Amazon. Thank you.

[@williammccoll5563]

I know this is an old post but the passion and dedication of Mr. Pondsmith are encouraging. I love Cyberpunk and the 80s movies that had it in it, however, I was more into fantasy as a kid but now I cant get enough and I plan on getting a copy for me for my wife since she knew about this game because Witcher 3 is her favorite game. I have never been this excited about a game since Star Wars The Old Republic when it first came out and I am more excited about this game. I pray that Mr. Pondsmith is involved in all Cyberpunk iterations, DLCs, expansions and all further games in this world. I get obsessed with things this is my new Zombies.

[@Hellseeker1]

This man is amazing

[@jackjesse6848]

Thanks you for creating this world it is my favourite game I’ve ever played you’ve truly created something amazing

[@observationsfromthebunker9639]

Maximum Mike is the grumpy dad who interpreted the future for all us young and impressionable gamers since when. Never stop Mike, even though we are now running games for some new blood as well as the old faithful. Never stop, never give up!

[@lordsunshine4793]

I don"t know why they weren't laughing more those jokes were hysterical. Your a class act Mike.

[@DariusSinclair]

I like how he talked about the importance of voting.

[@antonius.martinus]

Oh please add synthwave and outrun music into the game, either as ambience and for battles or maybe a radio station for when you are driving. There are very good compositors out there like Power Glove (their older stuff like Motorcycle Cop and Nightforce), Judge Bitch, Mega Drive, Lazer Hawk, Time Cop 1983, etc.

[@mr.greenlight9225]

I was thinking the same thing the reason why I made a comment about the music because it would be cool to be able to play your own music in the game ....or just in the car ...👍

[@thebloodybaron]

What a smashing fella. I'm from the UK I'm going to write some kick arse lore for my home city. The kingdom will rise.

[@mikemorrison5542]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that Talsorian Games is up and running again. These games still hold up and are still some of the best tabletop games around. I'll gladly buy a new book from Talsorian rather than off of Amazon, EBay, or any used bookseller!

[@mikemorrison5542]

Also, cannot wait for Cyberpunk Red!

[@RagingDrew]

This was a damn good listen. I've been fascinated with playing Cyberpunk some day, but can never find any likeminded folks around to play it. Until then, I love learning about the world and what inspirations are put into it.. The whole chat was very down to Earth and entertaining.

[@markydark8286]

Cant wait to play this game! Mike is a genius

[@cyberDan404]

seeing it... again... Talsorian..... MORE!

[@DNH17]

I loved the part 48:00 to 50 minute. That is what i love responsible game design no joke has a goo timing on these things. This stuff is important we do play not to be on drugs , we do play to learn new languages and understand who we are or stuff we should know and reflect and progress. These are 'laws' that ancient poet of greece told, we can t joke on it, it s digital power that entails we gotto be responsible w what we storytell. Top job mike!

[@Intrepidus.]

Mike Pondsmith, you should absolutely rock your dreads idea. With one being green, naturally.

[@JimBrodie]

"Mike Pondsmith says, 'A green sky is not good enough.'" Is memeworthy. XD

[@bioshock1998]

Great video guys, its great to hear more about the world of cyberpunk

[@jordonbrewer2354]

It’s kinda ironic. We have nostalgia for the 80's version of the future.

[@volkanblabla4941]

nice Video, thanks so much!!!

[@bev8200]

I hope the have Mike as a bonus character

[@lordzaboem]

I think that my 2077 character will be modeled after Mike.

[@Darksummerswind]

Hope you guys are at GenCon again!

[@Desertpuma]

I still have my black box from 1987. love Cyberpunk! ... I used to run a campaign based, not in Night City, but in the Phoenix metro area. All sorts of new Solos, Fixers, Nomads, Netrunners, Medtechs, etc. I so cannot wait for the 2077 video game and RED tabletop RPG. There is going to be a Living Campaign?

[@loverdeadly6128]

I was excited about 2077, but then someone told me it's based on table-top rpg from the 90s and I about lost my shit! I played my first sesh only last week! I'm a fishnetted fixer with a cannabis-growing nomad connection called... Lover Deadly! The GM played the game when it came out and was stoked to have a bunch of 20-somethings interested in it.

[@RSQ911.]

Im a big fan of both tabletop an new game plus im a gamer who grew up in the 90s id love to work for this company keep up the greatness an damn the man . Save the empire!

Bless you Mike Pondsmith for your Cyberpunk gift to the world! I'll laugh at all your jokes. :-)

Thank you so much

[@dragonhold4]

(46:52): [start of answer] (48:22) ...but you know we want to warn people of what happens if you take it for granted or you give certain people too much power and you don't look out for yourself and you don't take it personally. When you go "yeah, I don't think I'll vote because what does it matter" . . . it matters! Because you hand power to people and they may not be the people you like. Politics aside, you hold power, you hold capability because that is what allows you to determine your own damn future. Hand it to someone else you get a "cyberpunk future". Don't do that guys. Because it's for real. (49:16) ...see the problem with old science fiction (I'm a big fan of it) is that it always posits that there's going to be fairly enlightened people who want things to come out right. When they invent a big computer they're going to use it to help mankind. Instead of, "I'm going to track all of you bastards and I'm going to have files on you and I can make you do anything I want". Well, history shows us that there's more often that guy than a guy who says, "hey let me help all of you". It's a rarity. So what Cyberpunk does is says that technology, power can be put together and be a very very terrifying force but also you can grab your own power through technology, knowledge, and banding together.

[@noelgrably]

Many of my friends (original CP players all the way back to 2013 & 2020) were hoping for that same super cool background and feel that the original dystopian corporate haunted cyberpunk future provided instead of a more post-apocalyptic RIFTs like setting. But I'll give it a try...

[@azadalamiq]

this dude is cool. I got into cyberpunk (the genre) from watching fifth element, and the anime ghost in the shell. I just like the punk, meet future retro-ism and the transcendence of humanity that question its own humanity when people start getting cybernetic parts from prosthetic to full cybernetic shells with brain cases. I see a lot of that in cyberpunk 2077, and really wished i could get into cyberpunk 2020 but where i live, and used to live gaming, table top gaming is not popular so looking for players is hard. i also love the political intrigue of the genre, and the game has.

[@manufacturedfracture]

Sadly,I learned about this about a few weeks ago. Ice necer heard of cyberpunk besides tge subgenre. Ive played dnd for years and never heard of this, probably because I was born during its downfall. I would totally love to play 2020

[@azuraben5128]

Lovely video! Only minor point of complaint was that I can't clearly hear the questions, maybe repeat those in the mic before answering?

[@RTalsorianGames]

A lesson we'll try to keep in mind for next year.

[@comoassimbro]

Better yet, you guys could caption them in case you know which question were asked.

[@RTalsorianGames]

Not a bad idea. I'll pass it along to the video team.

[@ricoice]

thank you from the bottom of my heart for making the cyberpunk universe and I can't wait for the game to come out and I have a question for you and that question is have you met the person who made Dungeons and Dragons?

The best thing about this collaboration with CDPR is the quality of the person of the author. The ungrateful, spiteful drunkard Sapkowski may have provided a great source (which CDPR improved greatly ), but Mike is the man. And he never gave indications of personality flaws and pettiness the drunk idiot Sapkowski has

Are you aware there are people selling copies of Night City for 4,500$ on Amazon/Abe/etc? (also somehow there is a distinction between a mass market paperback version of this book and a non-mass market version?). I was fortunate to find a copy not in that range, but it seems a bit strange. Is this book really that uncommon today? I def prefer books to pdfs, and hope to get some from your Talsorian store before they're all gone. Makes me wonder if you already released the virus... kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5uzdmqcmpmLisk Consider Underground Resistance for the Cyberpunk 2077 Soundtrack contribution, since you mentioned how much you love Detroit. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_Resistance_(band) Mad Mike and Maximum Mike, coincidence? Peace.

[@RTalsorianGames]

We are aware people are selling copies of several books, including Night City, for outrageous sums. We're working on getting Night City back into print to combat the insanity.

[@Kallen50000]

R. Talsorian Games at this point I'd simply like a copy of the map as my 100 dollar Night City book didn't have it. Something updated for release with CDPR's 2077 would be cool. I've picked up original copies of each Chromebook, of course after I see you have the compendiums on your web store ;( I'm almost afraid to read my copy of Night City because I'm a clutz and will likely spill coffee all over it. The Witcher rpg looks very nice btw. Solid effort.

[@RTalsorianGames]

Doing the map right is one of the reasons why we've not just re-released it already. Thank you for your support!

[@HermeticJazz]

Cyberpunk is what anarchists want. Then again I see cyberpunk as a utopian society not a dystopian one. I would live in it. Then again the Utopian ideal society in my mind is one with a lot of choices, a lot of freedom including the freedom to disagree and argue with the government that's an important freedom, and a document like the constitution which limits the power the federal government has. (Whatever is not granted in the constitution is decided upon by the States or the voting citizens, oh and a society that argues with each other. In my mind the world we live in today is my Utopian society.
