Something more interesting than fetch/kill quests would be nice.

Runaway android, escaping servitude
Two identical guys, both claim the other is an android
Illegal body mods sellers
A small phone/laptop/etc.that talks becuase someone downloaded their mind into it
Corporate goons kidnapping people for drug tests
Berserk augmented junkies, possibly escaped from the same corp
A group of people that have all replaced their bodies with identical faceless ones, form a sort of cult
Caught in the crossfire between the cybercops and some cybergangsters, none of the factions care about the civvies in the middle
Get infected by malware that spams ads in your face/HUD

I can do more

Just a concept but I like the idea that the elite forces in cyberpunk society have the same/better augmentation as everybody else but because of their wealth and influence are better able to hide it.

Having the appearance of "traditional humans" is a mark of status in this society where few can do without cybernetics or body tech of some kind and most of the population have to make do with older, bulkier, and less elegant tech. The truly powerful have subdermal implants, nearly undetectable cybernetic limbs, or advanced genetic treatments and can pass as unaugmented when they desire.

Power armored SWAT teams. Maybe not a random encounter but a good punishment for players that get too ballsy and try to raid a building before they're ready.

YMMV but I think most RPGs veer into comic book territory when you really consider what the characters are capable of. Especially so with villains.

>>52344591
Well, anything that can be justified by micro-machinery and cybernetics/bionetics is fair game in the cyberpunk genre, but turning biological matter into controllable liquids is a stretch.

>>52344645
What if it's not biological matter being transformed? Could be an inorganic body with more limited capabilities than a traditional "water superguy"

>>52344691
Okay, please provide a good explanation of how a cyborg can transmute his body into water and back at will.

Doesn't have to be water, just used "water superguy" as an example of the type of power we were talking about. Let's just say liquid instead of water since that leaves more options open.

The point is that you can use your imagination to look at some modern tech developments and extrapolate from there how we might be able to improve upon them in the distant future. Just a casual reading of science articles over the past few years shows that there's a lot of interest in phase transitions. It's one of those basic areas of science that we'll continue to research for a long time and the funding is clearly there.

Could that lead to solids that can transform to liquids and back? Maybe! Could it be clouds of nanbots instead? Maybe! Is it possible it never leads to any sort of consumer/military tech in the next 100 years? Also Maybe!

Use what you're comfortable with and if you don't like it, don't use it.

>>52344971
A good explanation would probably be a nanobot cloud with the ability to change the state of their sheath from solid to liquid and viceversa, so he's not exactly fully liquid but composed of an ionized water-like metal controlled by nanobot cores

Augmented breakdance battle.
Duck into a club to hide, encounter black metal gig enhanced by cyberware. Need a gas mask or augmented lungs to breathe the atmosphere thanks to the smoke machines.
Go-gang surrounds you, leader demands to battle pokemon/play a children's card game/battle spinning tops/trade stickers with you.
Minor celebrity surrounded by entourage and cameras, trailed by fangirls.

>>52342445
A cyborg karate master has heard of your exploits and challenges you to a duel
An experimental tank drone has been hacked and is rampaging throughout the city
Robo-pigeons are "dropping" micro explosives on cars all over town
Someone has stolen the body of the ceo of a major company but left his brain, he wants you to go get it back
Syndicate members are "repossessing" cybernetics purchased at their back alley clinics, time to find out why

These are more quest hooks than random encounters but take em anyway

First time DM for Cyberpunk here, I'm running a campaign and the big hook for me is using a soundtrack integrated with what we're doing at the time (Walking around Night City, fighting, hacking, boss battles etc.)

Anybody got favorite music they like to listen to for that Cyberpunk feel that they could recommend? I've got lots of Perturbator, Mega Drive, some Lazer Hawk, and Carpenter Brut.

Adjunct to this question, since I'm in a similar boat, though I'm looking for music leaning closer to punk with some cyber than most synthwave I've heard offers, with some ambiance thrown in for good measure.

>>52355486
I'm a fan of metal myself, so I won't count it out, plus just one genre of music can get a little monotonous.
That first song is definitely going on the soundtrack list for if/when we visit a scumbag biker bar. I can't say I've ever played E.Y.E. Cybermancy, but I feel like I've done myself a disservice not to.

>>52354894
Made some playlists. Just have a look, take what you like and discard the rest. Here's a general one: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiqFJNjZR4Sb8DpBZVkugfyrxe7GZnkn9

The other playlists are more specific. The longest playlist is the sound we used to listen when playing CP2020 like 20 years ago.

Pi OST is also pretty excellent: https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PL5BD5E90FCDDAB09B&v=k02KIOUU8Hw

Two Companies are promoting their new brand of soft drink in the same area at the same time. Due to the pressures and upcoming performance review, the regional marketing directors of the two companies are pulling out all the stops and favours they have to make sure their brand gains dominance. This has escalated as agents suddenly thinking something big is going down have prompted a full scale gang war with several biker and local gangs as well as more accomplished agents engaged in a blend of ultraviolence and promotion with the regional managers just getting wind of this and screaming silently in their offices. Whether it's up to you to fix this, make one side win, or just go down to the shop with half a dozen bottles of super sweet swill stuck in your basket, depends on you.

There was quite a cool idea in a weapons thread (>>52336946, >>52336861, >>52337843) about high levels of restriction on weapons and newly produced weapons all having compulsory computers in them leading to a backstreet black market and an area like an urban version of the Khyber pass - where people make guns from scrap and can maintain antique weapons amazingly - plenty of opportunities for shenanigans and adventure in the streets of the 'little Khyber'

Cybergoth fashion is one of the ugliest things that's ever turned me on

>>52342963
I've always wanted to run "Mr. Johnson's Johnson." It's a fetch quest, but enough added on to make it special/hook into more. Runners are tasked with retrieving simple viagra from a pharmacy. The problem is, Johnson's wife has another team tasked with preventing them from doing so. Why? Because if she can claim impotence in the divorce settlement, she avoids a section in the pre-nup preventing her from shacking up with anyone else. Is your party bad enough dudes to save Mr. Johnson's Johnson?

>>52361588
That's actually a dude, isn't it?

>>52361801
You fuckin know it

>>52361727
If anything, it would be the opposite.
The Johnson having a Viagra prescription would prove legally that he has a problem, and his wife would be interested in getting a prescription to be able to exploit that clause.
No matter how impotent the Johnson is, if there's no proof, there's always an alibi - remember, most intercourse without protection doesn't actually result in pregnancy right away, and a couple who only bone once in a while (like a middle-aged or busy couple) wouldn't fuck a lot.
The Johnson might have an old prescription lying around that the runners have to stop the wife from unearthing, or he might have none but the runners need to stop the wife from having her own hired help falsify it.
Also, Viagra isn't a medicine against impotence - it's against erectile dysfunction. The difference is massive, yet almost everyone seems to think that if a man can get a hard-on, he can't be impotent.

>>52361588
That's why I stick with cyber-metal fashion. Like heavy metal fashion, but cyber-er, and a bit gothier.
The stores are just down the road from the cybergoth one, but it's heavier fabrics, spikes and hanging chains instead of neon and rubber and plastic, and metal rings everywhere to make it shiny. Then a patchwork of minor repairs because it's all made in china with shitty stitching that can't take the strain if you catch a chain on something while walking. Which is still preferable to the chain bending out of shape.

Not preferring nu-rave to all that goth stuff.

>>52365035
Not quite. That's still goth. I have long metalhead hair, everything's more flowing, and there's much more actual metal involved.
And for most of the year, a leather trenchcoat over the top to keep the wind off and cold at bay.
I learned the hard way not to wear it in summer. Heatstroke is not fun.

>>52365070
That's so 1998.

Jokes aside, I can relate to the not wearing a bigass coat in summer. Had a heat stroke during a punk festival while wearing a heavy duster.

>>52365060
>>52365077
> Nu-anything
> Hip-hop influenced
Ew, no.

>>52365135
I also learned not to wear a long coat to festivals of any kind. My mother insisted I go to one with her, and then put her walking stick down on my coat and punched a hole.
And leather, because my biker/aviator-style leather jacket got completely saturated at one last year, and took a week to dry out after I got it home. My studded leather gloves were beyond repair; all the stitching came out on one side, then they rusted.

This year's festival overwear will be an actual biking jacket. No leather, plenty of insulation, and armour pads at elbows and shoulders in case of moshpit. And the oh-so-stylish tear down one sleeve because I fell off a bike while wearing it and slid to a halt.
