Got it on sale. The time saved in character creation was worth $8 for drag-n-drop gear on Roll20.

This should be on every CP2020 GM's bookshelf , it contains everything a GM needs to know about Night City , the main setting for the game.

Good set of intro stories, not perfect but v solid. Five stars for the value.

Edgar, if you think "pronouns" are "political" then this is not the game nor system for you: "The first thing is, if you want to get somebody to kind of see your point of view, don't preach," Pondsmith says, going on to address the issue of gender portrayal in 2077. "At least for Talsorian, we always had kind of a generally progressive leaning anyway. A lot of this is kind of like, 'yeah, we were doing this back in the '80s.' We had transgender people running around in Cyberpunk in 1989...because my friends are transgender. So what's the deal? Why not? But that's not preaching -- this is the world I see." -Mike Pondsmith, 2019

We literally have built-in mechanics for replacing genitals with robotic versions bro and that is just the start. What are you doing playing CPR if you get set off by something as minute as pronouns? Go play something else.

Trans rights are human rights.

Don't get me wrong, for the most part I'm ok with the book, but could we get a version without the pronouns thing? Feels pretty cyberpunkish but not within the world of red, it's cyberpunkish in real life, like real time/life left wing brainwashing.

No pandering to the right, no pandering to the left, just leave real life politics (american ones worst of all, not everyone around the world has this problems and english is just our neutral ground) out of the books please. Just so I can keep buying these books, otherwise I'll stop supporting this franchise.

Lovely book, with simple, streamlined rules that are easy to understand and explain to others, a setting that feels alive and evocative and interesting to explore, great art, and some nice dark (sometimes hitting depressingly close to home in the real world) lore.

I just really wish I had waited 2 more weeks to get it because then I could've gotten the Humble Bundle with this and CP2020 + extras for the same price I paid for this book

Cyberpunk RED has quickly become a top favourite system to run and play in. If I had one complaint it's that information can be scattered over multiple sections and chapters and can require a lot flipping back and forth to find. But that's a minor complaint compared to how fun the system and setting are to play.

I'm new to CPR (though I've been tabletop RPGing my whole life) and this is a pretty dang good book. The locations and characters are very useful (and the BC+ DLC to this book is definitely recommended) and the items add character and flair to the otherwise standard core items.

One suggestion would be to have more tables at the end. Having tables sorted by Booth (a roll table for all the Black Chrome items at booth C1, C2, C3, etc) would be super handy. Easy enough to make on your own by searching the relevant booth number in the PDF (say, searching for "C1") but having a table pre-made would be useful rather than flipping back and forth through the book or tapping my find button a bunch when my players get to the booth at say, C3.

Could be a quick DLC, even.

Well-presented and very easy to play. This is a fantastic TTRPG experience..

Still fighting the Corps after all these years!

i love how easy and fun this was. i will be buying the full game pack in here soon

TLDR: Buy it if you love to work on paper, otherwise its free if you buy 2057 videogame (or buy RED).

The book arrived in perfect conditions. I must say, if you are buying Cyberpunk 2020 its because you want it printed, otherwise I would recommend buying the Cyberpunk 2057 videogame, since it comes with a free digital copy of the TTRPG original game (2nd edition and all).

Its true that the rulebook might be chunky and somewhat unclear around some of the stuff there is, buy it because of the artwork, the amazing "punk" feel in the diagramation, and the ergodic nature of the book that you might think there is only on paper.

The lore and game content in this book is great! I can't wait to add this to my game! Worth the buy!

I rated this 3 stars because the interior art style is so off theme. It's this modern cartoony/ Hero Forge look. Super chonky feet everything is scaled up and Just grody. There is no grit or Dark future here. It completely pulls me out of the world and makes it very hard to enjoy the product as a whole.

I get that this product is meant to accompany a miniature game and that all the interior character art probably came from the miniature designer and it shows in it exaggerated style. Works well for miniature design... really bad Art direction choice for a game book.

This style plus the anthropomorphic animal vibe coming on way to strong is so unattractive when you compared to the earlier CPR products and the 2077 aesthetic which are both On fracking point for Cyberpunk.

Please Don't 5e the feel of this amazing game.

Please bring back the " Dark Future" and Style and attitude because this Vibe is Really Dorky and uncool.

I genuinely adored this addition to my cyberpunk collection, it provides premade characters and in depth and interwoven character backgrounds and stories as well as providing more information for the Cyberpunk groups and gangs including but not limited to the 6th street, the bozos, the maelstrom, the tyger claws, generation red, as well as some of the danger gals themselves. Also included are a few new weapons, vehicles, and cybernetics, and a new mission for gms to run for their players.

On a personal note: I really really really adore the Gen Red and wanna adopt them all and keep them safe, so maybe if your players have some vague semblance of maternal instinct and aren't just murder-happy cyber freaks (not that there's anything wrong with that) I'd suggest introducing some of the kids stuck in a cycle of trouble for them to want to act as potential protective parental figures.

Edit: for anyone looking into canonical queer representation in tabletop games Cyberpunk is pretty good at having it, and this book is no exception

This is a really great book, that extends the game nicely with more equipment.

I really appreciate that it doesn't introduce power creep - instead it offers the option of adding flexibility.

Hard to really review this, since it's just a couple of items. The items contained are good, with the smart lens being the real stand out, and for .50 cents, it's a solid purchase. Just nothing that makes it a must buy.
