Backerkit - Netcrawl (Cyberpunk RPG)

I remember my first experience with the cyberpunk genre, reading Gibson's Neuromancer. It wasn't what I expected—actually, I'm not sure what I expected—but I was excited. Then I saw that GURPS had a Cyberpunk sourcebook and an RPG titled Cyberpunk 2020, and I had to grab both. I never ran them, but I must have read that sourcebook a dozen times and the RPG at least that many times.

Seeing that Netcrawl was funding on Backerkit brought back memories of my initial exposure to Cyberpunk. It looks like it is time for Cyberpunk again inn the Tenkar household ;)

Did I mention that Netcrawl is compatible with the DCC and MCC RPGs? Wait that means it's also compatible with Weird Frontiers. The mashups are endless and come to mind...

Netcrawl RPG is a TTRPG about adventuring inside a computer system. Everyone goes in, seconds pass in the meatspace as players spend hours conquering a cyber-dungeon - together. 

Netcrawl RPG uses the d20 System and Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG rulebook that can run as a cyber sidecar to your current game or as a stand alone game with little or no notion of an outside meatspace world. 

Inspiration for Netcrawl RPG is drawn from William Gibson's seminal cyberpunk novel, Neuromancer, among many other works of science fiction and cyberpunk.

Bundle of Holding - The Gaia Complex (Cyberpunk)

I'm a fan of the Cyberpunk genre. I always have huge plans to run a cyberpunk campaign, going back to GURPS Cyberpunk and Cyberpunk 2020 from the 80s and 90s. Alas, it has yet to be.

The Gaia Complex is Cyberpunk tabletop roleplaying in New Europe, 2119, and is a bundle at Bundle of Holding. You can snag the complete collection for 14.95.

Adventurer! This all-new Gaia Complex Bundle presents The Gaia Complex, the Hansor Publishing tabletop cyberpunk roleplaying game of flesh and wires. In a megacity of intense violence, secret corporate warfare, and vampiric uprisings, an overzealous AI called Gaia governs the city and protects (controls) its citizens. You're a Merc, uncovering secrets and using them to chase your next payout from the syndicates. But Gaia's secrets are many and unexpected. Whether you're a combat-ready Operator, Core Hacker, black marketeer, Data Dealer, or feral who mind-melds with animals, the concrete jungle of New Europe – of NeoMunich, Bruss, Morvan, The Hamm, Paris-Zone, The Dome, and the vampire-controlled Outer Fringe – can eat you alive (especially the vampires). For fans of Blade Runner, Altered Carbon, Ghost in the Shell, Appleseed, Elysium, and Dredd, The Gaia Complex lets you create stories of conspiracy, discovery, hardship, and brutal violence.

This Gaia Complex Bundle presents the entire game line to date for an unbeatable bargain price. For just US$14.95 you get all four complete titles in our Gaia Complex Collection (retail value $78) as DRM-free ebooks, including the full-color, 291-page Gaia Complex core rulebook (plus the free 48-page QuickStart) and the recent supplements Evolution by Design and Hardware 2119, along with the GM Screen & Data Vault.

Deal of the Day - Carbon 2185 | A Cyberpunk RPG Core Rulebook


Cyberpunk is all the rage. D&D 5e is STILL the system nearly everyone gravitates towards. Put them together in a stand-alone ruleset and it's almost like reinventing peanut butter cups ;)

Today's Deal of the Day is Carbon 2185 | A Cyberpunk RPG Core Rulebook. This D&D 5e-powered cyberpunk game (using the good ole OGL in case anyone is asking) is normally 24.69 in PDF, but until tomorrow morning it is on sale for 5.60.

Humble Bundle is Awash with Tabletop RPG Bundles Right Before Christmas

There are a number of Tabletop RPG Bundles available at Humble Bundle at the moment, and I will list them below. It should be noted that you can gift Humble Bundles (I was gifted a bundle a number of years ago) and said bundles can make for nice gifts for the gamemaster in your life (if you wish to steer them towards a new system - hint, hint) or inexpensive gifts (at the lower price points) for the players in your group.

It should be noted, that if you use any of the links below, they are affiliate links that will go to support The Tavern. If that makes you uncomfortable, you can always go directly to the Humble Bundle site and avoid the affiliate links completely. The choice is yours.

In no particular order, the Tabletop RPG Bundles are:

Cyberpunk by R. Talsorian - If you are looking for Cyberpunk 2020 you'll likely be well covered. You can even get the Cyberpunk Red Jumpstart Kit. 18 bucks get you 30 releases, and as always you can scale down to pay less.

Digital Dungeon Maps, Tokens, & Assets featuring Alyssa Faden - a true smorgasbord of gaming resources. Alyssa's attention to detail in her maps is second to none.

Pathfinder Second Edition Beginner's Bundle - one of the best values in tabletop RPGs was the Pathfinder First Edition Beginner Box. It was a version of Pathfinder I would be willing to play, but the value of the included pogs/tokens is second to none. The PF2 Beginner Box ALSO has the pogs/tokens (I own it - my only PF2 purchase - can't speak for the rules but the contents give value for money). This bundle gives the option of receiving a physical Pathfinder Second Edition Beginner's Box. There is also a Fantasy Grounds Pathfinder First Edition Ultimate GM Kit Bundle available. (edit - I initially mislabeled this for 2e)

Star Trek Adventures by Modiphius - I should pick this bundle up just to see Gareth Skarka's pen name in print ;)

Cyberpunk Sale at DTRPG - Cyberpunk Red Jumpstart Kit 4.99 (and more)

The best treatment I can recall of the Cyberpunk Genre in RPGs was the original Cyberpunk 2020 (4.99 in PDF). It was inspiring. More importantly, it was fun.

For the next few days, you can snag Cyberpunk 2020 and the new edition, Cyberpunk Red, and a host of other titles, for some need discounts (the deepest discounts are pictured above.

Kickstarter - Neon Blood (OSR Cyberpunk)

I know that I've said this before, but I love when OSR engined RPGs step into less-used genres. Neon Blood is an OSR Cyberpunk RPG, and I don't think I've seen that before. Very cool :)

Neon Blood is an OSR/DIY (we call our work Dirty-OSR) inspired cyberpunk game set in a version of the world in 2035. We don't need to go very far into the future to see how culture, tech, and politics might shape the future of humanity. It is dystopian, but all hope is not lost for ye who enter here.

The goal of this game is to take the OSR-based RPG system and roughen up the edges, throw in some chrome, pump it full of HiCap neon, and light it on fire. The rules start with the d20, but we make a firefight feel like a frenetic two-way range where your decisions and training will be a matter of life and death. And hacking will never be boring or the side gig; it easily occurs in real-time alongside a firefight without disruption to either team.

The combat is brutal and deadly, and death is one bullet or NovaWire away. Zero hit points isn't the end, but neither is it a handful of chances to not experience what comes for everyone. Even hackers aren't safe; play hacking games, win deadly prizes. As awesome as this sounds, combat is full of player-facing choices to keep your character alive and gunning. But everything comes at a cost in Neon Blood.

10 bucks get you the PDF and digital soundtrack (yes, soundtrack). 30 bucks add in a softcover book of the rules.
