Ok, let's do a quick run-down, shall we?
>Every name is a first and last name, across cultures and species.
Just like modern world
>No endoynyms or exonyms which leads to stuff like Dwarves calling themselves "dwarfs" instead of that being a pejorative name
And black people call themselves black, so?
>Common people are atheist or irreligious despite objective fact of deities existing
The fact the God exist still doesn't force you in any way to believe in them and/or be a religious person
>No areas of linguistic diversification and local dialects
Oh the joys of widespread education
>One lingua franca over numerous continents
I'm a Slav posting on anonymous imageboard using English, judging by the hour, you aren't native English user either and my GM for internet games is a Jap speaking English... what's your deal?
>Every species has just one culture, except for humans of course
That's actually shit world-building, you've got a point
>Equatorial crops like tobacco and potatoes being farmed in notEurope or found there despite no trade links with equatorial regions
Since it's not a real-world setting, it's literally not an issue.
>Maritime climate found deep inland
Examples, or you are pulling this one from your ass
>"elf spearmen" or "dwarf axemen" instead of spearelves and axedwarves
Now you are obtuse on purpose. Do you even realise it only works in English, you fucking inbreed, and it's a way of how the language works?
>Clearly closely related hominid races that cannot produce fertile offspring such as dwarfs and humans
What are mules IRL?
>Usage of "race" when referring to entirely unrelated species such as minotaurs and goblins
What is naming convention
>Magic as just a language
And that's one of the best language systems imaginable, so?

In short - you are fucking retarded

I would > for "players starting as working for a corp", but that can be okay

I'd say you want to be calling on your WFRP experience - your guys should be in for a tough time as corporate goons.

The fact that they are corporate goons might also be helpful for the "massive potential" problem that often happens with GURPS - even if they're all different specialists you can (and probably should) lock down a lot of their options and gear - most organisations won't let you use whatever you want all of the time, there are budgets, logistics and rules to constrain your players, even if they're operational operators.
Also be sure to talk with your party to make a group that makes sense - encourage communication so that they can compliment or play off each other when making characters.

Structure-wise, you want to set up a "standard" with the first couple of missions - whatever they are, be it attacking something, infiltrating somewhere, making contacts, whatever - make them interesting, but give them a formula and set a precedent over a few sessions, then start to change shit to get your plot going.

Possibly have things move external to the party to give things a more organic feel: like, if they take out a dealer of illicit substances in session 2, that guy's suppliers, allies and customers remain in your world - maybe a new guy rises up, becoming a worse problem, maybe your crew (or even just their corp) gets attacked a few sessions down the road in retaliation, maybe a rival team wants a more impressive bust to get a bigger budget next year and goes against someone powerful and dangerous, causing chaos

This may be an unpopular anwser, but have you looked into Fate Core? The core stats can easily help you role play the "fixer" angle. One of the best things about Cyperpunk is the idea that you "know a guy who knows a guy", that there's this dirty underground and backroom deals. The social skills like Rapport and Resources really help that part of the campaign come alive.

>>52832230
>However I find it quite daunting to begin thinking of all the potential weapons and equipment that could potentially be available to the players that I would have to come up with.
Have you looked at Ultra-Tech or converted weapons from 3e Cyberpunk to 4e? They both have stellar advice (Cyberpunk moreso) on setting up and running a cyberpunk campaign.

I'm not sure what you mean by the difference in PC capabilities and adventure structure, though. How do your players want to play? Do they want to sit in a room for five hours planning a five minute run? Action 2 has rules for that. Action 2 also has generic rules for how difficult a corp would be to do a run on. Actually, just grab Cyberpunk, Ultra-Tech (4e), and Action 1&2. Use the former for setting building and gear ideas that aren't present in Ultra-Tech, use Action 1 for templates and some advice, use Action 2 for running the game.

I am trying to find some that would not lead John to killing everyone and himself off, at least not too quickly. Was thinking of even having some one time public/general/john obsessions specific to the starting situation, to kept like a theme or have a co-operative goal while trying to complete their personal and hidden obsessions. And whoever completes the a public first gets those points and it is crossed off and replaced with a new one.

An examples of a situation and few obsessions I have written down so far are:

Start
>John wakes up in the middle of surgery.
Public Obsession
>Get the hell out of the hospital
>Don't get caught
Private Obsessions
>Fight anyone whose name start with "H"
>Drink as much alcohol as you can
>Kidnap as many elderly people as possible.

>>52831614
Here is a scenario for you:
John wakes up in a hotel suite, laying on a bed. His clothes are bloody and there is a 9mm in his hand. Strewn all around the room are the corpses of various well-dressed gentlemen, each with holes through their skulls and weapons in their hands. While investigating, the voices notice that stray dollars and illegal drugs are everywhere in the room. Suddently, a series of sharp knocks are heard from the door, which seems to have been padlocked.
”THIS IS THE POLICE, OPEN UP!”

>>52831823
I like it. I really like it.

Maybe have some obsessions of making as much money as possible, doing all the drugs themselves, finding out who these guys are, and maybe a few others that work against each other.

What's wrong with this one? Seems like it'd be a pretty useful magic item to have when travelling in a hostile territory. Although without a corresponding disquise the use would be somewhat limited (appearing to have the banner of the enemy forces doesn't help much if you aren't also wearing their uniform, and if you disquise as their soldiers then you'd stand when observed by another group who'd see a different banner).

Radiators and heat exchange.

Coolant and cold emptiness of space

This isn't necessarily related to what makes a spaceship cool. I just want to point out from the scaling presented in that pick high charity would make all of those ships look like toys. So, I guess my answer you your question is sheer size.

If the quicklings from Volo's are given disengage as a bonus action, would that make them overpowered af?

>>52829858
Going by what they were saying 2-3 weeks ago, it sounds like 8th is still in development, or at least not ready to go into print.

Hopefully it's Death Guard, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's more Sigmar or Blood Bowl stuff.

>What commanders can get a surprising amount of mileage out of terrible cards?
Zada is probably the most triumphant example of spinning jank into gold, but a lot of commanders do pretty well with some specific jank like Sedris with Teferi's Veil.

I think I've got a ton of normally Janky cards in my Feldon build that work, though. Weird Antiquities stuff that requires sacrificing artifacts during your upkeep, but when Avalanche Riders have gotten their value just for entering why not bizarro fling them at something?

>What commanders can get a surprising amount of mileage out of terrible cards?
Zedruu. Give people your terrible shit and get a ton of life and draw as a result

>give the Animar player a Steel Golem
>Imprint an Orim's Chant on Isochron
Unwinding Clock on my field

Easily my most Magical Christmasland moment ever, but oh man was that seething rage ever worth it.

When life gives you lemons, give each creature you control haste until end of turn.

sorcerer- he doesn't have to prep spells from a book or anything like that so he isn't a wizard

some "witty" comments on the mtg gatherer before commenting broke and wizards decided to never fix it ever, some sort of text game i was involved with on irc, and the most cringeworthy urban dictionary definition ever I wrote during an unfortunate phase of my teenage years.

God damn I was a little fag.
