SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

This video is becoming viral: a Russian Cyberpunk Farm.

I just can totally see it as a setting for GURPS. Just add an alien invasion, force the players to speak like Borat and have fun!
For every idiot who denounces Ayn Rand as "intellectualism" there is an excellent DM who creates a "Bioshock" adventure.

That was cool and funny.  And the similar videos cued up by Youtube were interesting too: the first was a Russian-language superhero story that was well done and had a lot of potential for future work.  The only odd thing was that I'm pretty sure it was filmed in real-life Los Angeles.

Very reminiscent of "Tales from the loop" by the artist Simon Stålenhag.

I thought the same - "Tales from the Loop - the Russian Expansion".

Fits extremely well with the Rifts Russia books. BTW, those are highly underrated supplements. Much fun, Borat accent optional.
