With most of the heavyweight releases already out in the wild, December belongs to CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. To celebrate its anticipated release, retailer Humble Bundle is offering $500 worth of material from the Cyberpunk 2020 tabletop RPG for just $15.
Teaming up with publisher R. Talsorian, Humble Bundle has compiled the ultimate tabletop RPG book bundle catering to Cyberpunk 2020. Ebooks up for grabs include Forlorn Hope, Night City, Cyberpunk 2020, and Home of the Brave. Your purchase also supports the AbleGamers Foundation that is focused on improving accessibility to games for people with disabilities. The bundle includes up to 30 other resources for the RPG and is a great pack for beginners. With only 14 days left of the deal, over 11,000 bundles have been sold already.
One helpful redditor took the time to suggest the order in which the bundle should be read, if some customers are new to the game. Recipients should start by reading the Cyberpunk 2020 Core Book first, as this was the first system book to be released. The Night City Sourcebook should follow, which gives you a detailed analysis of Night City’s assets. Listen Up, You Primitive Screwheads!!!! can be read third as a great reference for the general running of the RPG for game masters. Chromebooks 1-4 can then be looked at, which contain all of the post-launch items, weapons, cyberware, and more. You can then conclude with the class-specific books, including Solo of Fortune, Rockerboy, and NeoTribes.
Cyberpunk 2020 is the second edition of the role-playing game that began in 1988, featuring a universe which CD Projekt Red licensed over a decade ago. Released in 1990, Cyberpunk 2020 exists within Night City also, featuring gang warfare and corporate rivals which players must survive. The second edition includes updated combat rules, Netrunning, character generation, and an altered timeline that had to be adjusted in the wake of the German reunification in 1990. Cyberpunk 2020 also added horror themes to gameplay, introducing vampires and werewolves into the mix.
The game’s fourth edition Cyberpunk Red will be released in tandem with Cyberpunk 2077 next week, after being sent to the printer in October. This edition will bridge the gap between the tabletop and video game narratives, as its original summer release date was changed to match the game’s launch.
