The Bedraggled Boyfriend

And this week's Black Excellence, I'm going to give over to a man named Mike Pondsmith.

Mike Pondsmith, some of you might know.

Some of you might not.

Many of you probably don't.

But many of you may have heard of him.

A game series called Cyberpunk.

Cyberpunk 2020 is a tabletop RPG from way back when.

It is now a critically acclaimed video game and Netflix series.

Cyberpunk Edgerunner Season 2 just dropped.

It's all the rage.

It's incredibly iconic.

I mean, you got Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba in the video game and everything.

I don't know if many people know that the series was created by a big Black nerd.

So, shout out to Michael Allen Pondsmith for not only creating an amazing RPG series, but being a huge and consistent nerd about it that will talk endlessly about the lore and characters that he created with love and passion.

And also...

Make sure the adaptations exist in a continuity that is shared and makes sense.

Shout out to you, Mike.

Nice.

And gamers worldwide.

This week, let's do some...
