Cyberpunk (role-playing game)

Cyberpunk is a Cyberpunk (duh) tabletop game written by Mike Pondsmith and published by R. Talsorian Games that was first released in 1988.

There are currently four editions:
 * Cyberpunk (1988)
 * Cyberpunk 2020 (1990)
 * Cyberpunk V3.0 (2005)
 * Cyberpunk Red (2020)

A variety of spinoff media also exist. Among these are:
 * Cyberpunk 2077 (2020 video game by CD Projekt)
 * Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (2022 anime by Studio Trigger)

"In 2077, they voted my city the worst place to live in America. Main issues? Sky-high rate of violence and more people living below the poverty line than anywhere else."
 * Canon Discontinuity: V3.0 was decanonised in response to extensive fan backlash over many changes, including the use of action figure photography instead of drawn artwork.
 * Combat Medic: Trauma Team will fly to the rescue of subscribers in armed aircraft and carry armed security specialists to protect the EMTs.
 * Divided States of America: Several Free States seceded from the old USA and are still resisting unification with the New United States.
 * Razor Floss: Arm-installed monowire is one of the available implants.
 * Twenty Minutes Into the Future: The first edition was released in 1988 and set in a then-distant 2013.
 * Uncanny Valley: Inverted with the Maelstrom. This Gang's Hat is taking cybernetic augmentation to levels that are extreme even by the setting's standards, with a common one being replacing the upper face with a mount for more than two optics. Yet because they don't go all the way to full-body replacements that are Brain In a Jar within a fully robotic-looking chassis, but instead retain enough of the original flesh that observers can tell there Was Once a Man, they end up looking more disturbing than either the less augmented or the fully-replaced.
 * Vice City: Night City is a Hellhole even by the standards of the setting.
