Zach-- if you can't find anything you like, I will most certainly do my best to help you out with the story stuff. ^^ If nothing else, we can use some ideas that I've already worked out for it.

Update:

Here is the current information and what I need:

Game Concept
-------------------
The project goal is to create a multiplayer, story-driven game based in a cyberpunk genre. Think relatively small number of players (1-64 max) cooperatively and/or competitively playing. We feel that the traditional fantasy rpg is super-saturated with content, whereas cyberpunk is a genre that has not been explored much in games, save for a few unique examples (system shock, deus ex, tron, etc)

Architecture
----------------
The game is similar to a MUD in many ways in that it's real-time, and the primary interface to the system is text input. There are also graphical components, such as a chat window, a window to display items in a room, a window to display characters in a room, and a player stats panel. The system architecture is client/server, where the game state is stored on the server, and the client is basically just a rich interface to view and send commands to the server.

Target aim:
----------------
Provide a lowtech MMO that captivates the users with a satisfactory level of performance, visuals, musical score, and story line. Aim for a fully functional game 1st Quarter 2007. Hard date for engine completion Jan 1st

Talent needed:
-----------------
2-3 x Artists - Any good cyber punk artists out there please start sending us your work.

Just wondering, but I've heard cyberpunk used to describe a whole gammut of things from Bubblegum Crisis to Guilty Gear. What exactly is it?

[Hoth]

Very understandable. This should hopefully give you more information than you need/want on the subject

Its really just an overpopulated, futuristic, over teched world. Kinda like demolition man, matric, aon flux, judge dred, etc.

CYBERPUNK = SHADOWRUN!

SHADOWRUN = FASA

FASA = GREATEST TABLETOP RPG'S EVER

Wizards of the Coast = The people that bought Fasa raped their dice system and and discontinued Shadowrun and Earthdawn.

Microsoft = People that bought FASA before WOTC did...Which is wierd.

Tell your friends!
