What is the life expentancy of night city?

[Hashley Hashbrowns]

I'm thinking V is in her early 20s or something? Misty said she was 26 so i'm thinking most are either late 20s to early 20s or over 30.

[Crimsomrider]

If I recall correctly V is 27 in the game, born 2049. Saburo Arasaka is above 150, Hanako above 70, Rogue is above 80, Takemura is around 50-60, Kerry is 90 I believe.

But considering how many people die incredibly young in Night City for various reasons, getting over 30 is probably the biggest achievement in Night City :D

Damn, grampa Kerry trying to score with a 27 year old kid. There should be a law against something like that.

I think it depends on how much money you have. If you have a lot you can technically live forever, if you have none I think it's quite low.

[Silverbane7]

In the tabletop, most characters start the game around the age of 21 or 22.
You start your 'timeline' at 17/18 when you roll up anything interesting.

Morgan Blackhand was in his early 40's iirc back in the 2020's and everyone called him 'old man' lol (tho, with an edge of respect.)
Stayin alive past your 30's was hard enough. But staying alive AND being the best, badass Solo in the biz? Legendary.

Which is why Dex asks you if you would rather go out with a bang before seeing your thirtieth.

Thing is, it kinda depended on your GM, and the Dice Gods.
If your GM/DM was the kind whose fave module to play was 'the Tomb of Horrors' (a notorious meat grinder of a DnD module) or used 'character Darwinism' to create your partys (see 'the all guardsmen party' on YouTube for what that is lmao)
You pretty much ended up rerolling characters between adventures.
So when it comes to cyberpunk....if you saw a copy of 'listen up, you primitive screwheads' on their shelf....you knew not to play a much loved punk in their campaign XD.
(Is a book full of sneaky tricks for GMs to use to make story's memorable and fun, but often had a high body count. No punches pulled, many deaths, tho some suitably heroic)

So let me get this straight. Almost everyone is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ old? Yet looking so young?

[Hashley Hashbrowns]

oh right the rich can only afford anti aging products but like

[Hashley Hashbrowns]

V THEMSELVES DOESN'T EVEN ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ LOOK

[Hashley Hashbrowns]

OH MY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GOD

No.
"Died of old age? In NightCity?! Huh, that warrants a statue. Whole world should look up at it in awe!" (V, about Barry's friend Andrew)

Only *some* folks are old. Most of those are ether very rich, very powerful or so close to being the NoOne that they are almost invisible to the rest of the world (lol) so no one bothers them.

Rogue, Morgan ect are called Living Legends for a reason.

and even if i never did dnd irl i'd wanna try a cyberpunk tabletop

No worries, choom I gotcha.
You already *have* a (digital) copy of the cyberpunk 2020 sourcebook. Its in your files for the game (can't remember where off the top of my head)
Cdpr gave everyone who bought the game a copy of the PDF version.
With that, you can start playing the (older) tabletop version
And if you own a game called tabletop simulator, I'd check the workshop for it, because fans converted a lot of stuff from paper and pencil over to work with it. I even saw 'paranoia' in there when I looked years ago (lol.)

fun fact, i'm only playing family shared cp2077 so i'm not sure even if i looked into the files myself to use mods before. But seriously? I guess i'll try to find it if its there.

[Silverbane7]

I'd try using the search function for 'cyberpunk2020' or just 'cyberpunk'
The .PDF file is the one you want.

You can also go to the R Talsorian website and grab some bits from their downloads page.
Think there is a quick start kit that might get you up and running with one short mission and a batch of 'throw-away' characters. (That's for the Cyberpunk RED version that's set in 2045)

You need to think about Adam Smasher because he's almost entirely machine, maybe there's a way to live "forever". Saburo Arasaka died with 158 and was the oldest character. Looking at him didn't seem he had too many modifications. Adam Smasher has only 4% human/organic parts, his brain and some spinal / endocrine / pineal parts. It looks like it's possible to reach something like 200.
