Going through one of my notebooks I found some stuff I had quickly jotted down for a Courier as a Cyberpunk Role. The kind of Courier found in Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. All I got were the system basics. I'll try to do a full write up soon and put it up as well.

Musing and articles from Peter Amthor. Usually of a role playing game influence but I do drift into other directions occasionally. You can also find me on BlueSky at peteramthor.bsky.social. Comments and constructive criticism welcome.
This was the first RPG wherein I felt the desire to play such a character. This was well before The Transporter or my modeling gig for AFMBE's Book of Archetypes.
ReplyDeleteThe few times I got to play the game (I was usually the GM) my choice in roles tended to be techs or medias. After reading Snow Crash I wanted to play courier. Now I want to play a modified Rockerboy, going to write it up this week sometime. The DJ, gotta have those fancy teched out mix tables.
