Today's Penny Arcade is a near perfect commentary on the Unity debacle.

Whole comic linked above, but here's the one-panel that is perfect.

I love that setting, but those mechanics. Ooof. Way too heavy. I actually meant the genre not the system. In reality I've been running The Sprawl but I'm looking for a narrative forward cyberpunk game that can accommodate urban fantasy.

I use ICE's Cyberspace and throw out everything that slows down the story. Works well enough. It was written before most of the world was online, so still has a lot of the quaint charm of early cyberpunk.

Lol, one of the two options listed is what I'm using. Need to find something with support for fantasy stuff and if possible, alternative hacking rules. Hamish who wrote it mentioned he wasn't super happy with how it turned out.

I still need to try Forged in the Dark, but Powered by the Apocalypse just makes me run back to Shadowrun as it is. It's way too far the other way, barebones and genre-centric to a limiting extent. For all its issues, maybe even because of its bloat, it never leaves you out of options for any assortment of scenario themes.
