Cyberpunk RED – the fourth edition of R. Talsorian Games’ signature role-playing game – inherited a rich history and loyal following from its predecessors. As Lair of Secrets geared up for our campaign, we went looking for – and found – a ton of links dedicated to advice, preparation, cartography, and battle maps.

Blogs
- R. Talsorian Games – The homepage doubles as a blog with news about upcoming releases, as well as free DLC like Loot Boxes & Achievements and rules for bicycles, skateboards, and inline skates
- Cybernation Uncensored
Cartography Resources
- NightCity.io – An interactive map with content from Cyberpunk 2077 and Cyberpunk RED.
- Piggyback.com: Cyberpunk 2077 Interactive Map – An interactive Night City map circa 2077.
- Reddit /cyberpunkred / Night City 2045 Map, cleaned and updated – JPEG versions of several iterations of Night City in 2045 (including point of interest markers from DLC and Tales from the Red).
Fan Supplements
- Cyberpunk Neon – A Player’s Guide to Cyberpunk Red – A player-centric view of the game that re-packages the rules in an easier to read format. Helpful if finding your way through the core rule book tends to give you a headache.
Tools
- Cyberpunk Companion – An excellent tool for playing or running cyberpunk. iOS and Android versions are likely the easiest way around to generate a character, and as a bonus, you can share them with your game master using short codes. The base app (approved by R. Talsarian Games) lets you create characters; pay the $5 and you can unlock netrunning architectures, the Night Market, Random Encounters, and Weather (yes, there can be weather other than dark and rainy). Fair warning – web version lacks behind the app version; the apps are the way to go.
- Chartopia: Cyberpunk – More than a dozen generators for cyberpunk-themed games, including “Cyberpunk Random Encounter Generator”, “Cyberpunk Corporations”, and “Cyberpunk RED – Lifepath”
- Roll20 Cyberpunk RED – The $40 add-on for Roll20 gets you the core rules, Roll20 RED character sheet, pre-gen opponents, 10 roles, three Screamsheet adventures, artwork, and a ton of tech for your game.

- NPC Generator – Full blown NPCs with game states, weapons, cyberware, gear, a special capability (e.g. incendiary ammo), and a tagline.
- Mook Creator – Essential stats, basic weapons,, a special effect (e.g. paramedic skill) and a tagline.
- Miniboss Generator – A beefed up version of the NPC.
- Job Generator – Creates the mission, the payment, and the opposing NPCs.
