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:

Tropes used in Cyberpunk (role-playing game) include:
  • 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.

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.
