There's just over a week left, and it looks like the Roll20 tokens and Sheets could happen, keep getting the word out there! :)
For now, let's take a look at how armor works in GeneFunk 2090.
Atomos™ Battlesuit
Like D&D, armor provides an AC bonus, and heavier armors can require a miniumum Strength score, or cause disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
In GeneFunk 2090, armor also provides Damage Reduction (DR) against bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. This allows for attacks that are partially mitigated, rather than the 100% or 0% damage. Even with a bullet proof vest, that impact might leave you with some broken or bruised ribs. :)
Many weapons and ammunition provide the armor piercing property, which cuts DR in 1/2, though these weapons tend to be restricted.
Also, Armor Upgrades can be added, so you can custom make your dream power armor!
Artificial Muscles
Autonomous Environment
Chromomorphic
Cloak
Electric Discharge
Electrical Insulation
Powered Exoskeleton
Hyper Jumping
Mechanical Capacitor
Medicomp
Sprint Upgrade
Thermal Insulation
With enough money (from successfully completed contracts), your character can strut around in the finest of combat protection! :)
If any of you have any additional features you would like to see added as Armor Upgrades, feel free to comment below!
Now let's get to that Roll20 Tokens Stretch Goal!

We did it, you are all amazing! :D
Thank you everyone, the quality of the printing will now get a boost! Instead of print-on-demand, we will be doing a full offset print run, which will make all those lush color illustrations really come to life!
Now we can move onto Roll20 tokens and a character sheet, we can do it!

You're all amazing!!! The more backers we get, the better this product will be, as I'm reinvesting every single cent into this book! Spread the word!
Onward and upward to 300, then we can defend Thermopylae! :)

First off, have a look at the great Enmanuel Martinez Lema's piece here, wow! What a cool looking Naiad vet!
Now to the matter at hand. :) Having a corporate manufacturer's name on a weapon really adds to the sweet flavor of the cyberpunk setting!
Of course I have my own names picked out already, but if you want to see one of your ideas in the final product, fire away in the comments below!
I'm looking for company names for armor, guns, blades, or whatever else you can think of!
It's okay to get outlandish for the weapons too, think Borderlands, and feel free to suggest elemental or other types of effects if you like. :)
Let's come up with cool corporate sounding gear names!
Stretch Goal Unlocked - Printable GM Screen!

Wooo! Thank you everyone for helping us get this far, we've unlocked the second stretch goal!
A nice handy dandy GM screen, summarizing all of the regularly used rules on an 8-panel PDF with art, in both portrait and landscape orientation.
I'll make versions that are art-heavy, and more print friendly versions as well! There will even be one available with the rules tips on BOTH sides of the screen, because honestly, often the players need quick and easy rules information even more than the GM. :)
