Misdirected Mark Forums

For this week's poll, I'm hoping to gather some opinions about what makes hacking feel "right" in a cyberpunk setting. How much detail do you need, how many special rules, and what kind of resolution should it have? I also added a section on your formative cyberpunk influences, just to see...
