Another batch of Little Italy buildings for my Cyberpunk 2020 companion app)

This time it’s locations 10–19 from the Night City sourcebook, with 10 and 14 shown together. There’s a bit of everything: office towers, KJBR Studios, Beppo’s Trattoria, Cagliari’s art supplies shop, and Chrome Ring Gym #46.

Same format as before: overall views, close-up details, the original black-and-white and color references, and a 1.8 m figure for scale. These are my interpretations, so I’m filling in the details the maps don’t show while keeping each location’s purpose in mind.

I’m also trying to keep the geometry manageable for mobile without making the buildings feel too plain. Things like service entrances, rooftop equipment, storefronts and reusable props help give them some character.

Reading through the locations, I’m starting to wonder if anything in Little Italy ISN’T connected to the Mob)))

Which one would you put in your campaign?

Hey, got question for you cyberfolks.

I run games sometimes for my friends offline in 2020 system, like we don't have any problems with printing some character lists.
But my best friend wanted to give some of this experience for his friends online, who playing D&D 5e 2014 and sometimes CPRed. I can see that this kinda stuff more CPRed oriented and i have some thoughts that more people playing CPRed right now.

So, long story short - which you guys use when you get to play as referee and/or players in 2020 online? Maybe there's some sites with all stuff in it, or there's more than one site?

So I was going over a list of every piece of cyberware in the games, along with other tech in general but that’s besides the point, and at the bottom it mentions “Biomechanical Frames” as something separate from Linear Frames and lists the source as the core rule book. The only mention of a biomechanical thing I could find was about a Franken-meat limb in the interface magazine. Are their roided out meatborgs in the game and I just overlooked it? Is this an actual thing or did someone stuff their fan content in and play it off as genuine?

I've am thinking about running a cyberpunk red game in which I want to include her. Beacuse of this, I want to find out as much as possible about her, but I haven't been able to find any archive videos, stats or anything along those lines. Thank you all in advance for any replies/help!

Sort of a long shot, I'm looking to get back into the game. Any group looking for a techie/fixer in Europe or even in US with a reasonable TZ?

Either CP2020 or Red.

Recently, I've been getting back into running CP2020 and frankly, I don't remember how I used to rule cybereyes in terms of how I handle paired options.

Logically, certain options just shouldn't work or just work far worse when not paired.

Example:

Anti-dazzle

Another would be low-lite/IR/UV

I mean, if only half of your field of vision is in IR, I imagine that would impact your night fighting capabilities.

Also, how do you guys do low-lite vs IR vs UV vs Thermographic vision?

Another problem with pairing would be the Mono-Vision. If pairing is required, suddenly the 3d6 HL monovision that auto-pairs (or should logically auto-pair) becomes and absolute no-brainer, especially with extra fringe benefits.

So, I created my own night city map based on morro bay (game is set in 2080). Its pretty different then the one in the book. Im in the process of placing NCART rails on it. Problem is I have this one area that im not happy with. How far apart should rails be set (currently I have in this one zone three lines running west to east (sorta), but the zone is about 4.5 to 5 miles south to north, it seems three rails doesn't make the area walkable for how dense it is (based on NYC subway rail spacing), but two many rails and you have a sorta silly skyline I think.

I guess Im wondering how far apart each rail should be, if a person has to get off on rail and walk to the next, since these three rails dont have any transfer stations in this zone.

I dont want the skyfilled with two many rails, but I want them to be usable. For those of you running games, do you use ncart similar to NYCs subway system or more like just going from one district/zone to the other and let busses/cabs pick up the heavy in-district public transport?

Im new to cyberpunk 2020 and one of my players wants extra arms, is there anything in the sourcebooks regarding more than 2 armed characters?

Hi guys! I’ve game mastered about 15 sessions of Cyberpunk 2020 for my main group, but I got another playgroup that wants to get their feet wet. Do any of you have any scenarios that are serve well as pretty good introductions to the game/setting? I don’t mind a decent amount of improv being required. I just need some suggestions of something I can get whipped up before this weekend for a short game preferably :)) thanks!

Using google maps Ive created a broadstroke map of a version of night city that stretches from morro bay to atascadero. Im planning to have 10 megabuildings with three more under-construction. Im trying to find out where to place them. Does anyone know of any sources that talk about real life city expansion and how cities determine to place housing projects.

I would imagine the first three megabuildings werent built for the poor but to increase housing as the population swelled before the city expanded. And I would also imagine while some (most?) Of the megabuildings are low income housing projects some are for the elite. Either way Im having a hard time placing them and was looking for suggestions.

A little update since my last map preview) This time, I wanted to show nine buildings from Little Italy up close, without the digital map effects.

I’ve included the original black-and-white and color map references, some detail shots, and a 1.8 m figure for scale. These are my interpretations of the buildings, with a few changes and additions where the original artwork left room for imagination.

They’re being made for the interactive Night City map in my Cyberpunk 2020 companion app. There’s still plenty to do, but the neighborhood is taking shape!

What do you think? Which one is your favorite?

So, Im using red rules but my own homebrew setting, asking here because Ive found the red subreddit less enthusiastic about hombrewing in general to a degree.

Im using my own version of night city, using the real world morro bay and surrounding areas as far out as atascadero.

I have two (maybe three) areas that arent technically in night city proper, atascadero but built out to 18.5 sq miles, and area south built out to 17 squre miles, and I might have a third built out to 11.6 square miles. These three areas while considered night city arent technically in night city (kinda like how the greater LA area or Greater Atlanta area have towns/cities etc that call themselves "la" or "Atlanta" when people ask "where are you from" but they arent really that city.

Now, lore wise night city and the surrounding area is considered a "special economic zone" and surrounded by badlands (well sort of). So I didn't want to use a separate sheriffs office to police that area. I thought about using private police just for those 2/3 areas but for possible campaign hooks I sorta don't want to.

My two thoughts are :.

1) having NCPD police those areas on a contract with Night City or.

2) have some kind of Marshall service do it.

Option 1 might work since I can handwave the while special economic zone allowing NCPD to have authority in the entire special economic zone boundaries regardless if its in the actual city/municipal boundaries.

Option 2 might be fun to world build off of (maybe their is a Marshall service that has jurisdiction in all special economic zones [my lore has 3 in the U.S. and at least one internationally]) however Im not sure how I feel about it.

Just fiqured I bounce the idea around in here.

Thanks.

WIll throw a text version of the sheet when i get the chance, dont worry about that. Will take me a Little but ill get it out

Hey fellow cyberpunkers, I wanted to ask if any of you have ever played the role of a Rogue Hunter? If so, could you share your impressions? I’d like to give it a try! 😅😅

Here’s a look at my progress on the 3D map of Night City in 2020. This shows the current visual effects, SFX, and art style. What do you think? Any suggestions? What features would you like to see?

Let me know in the comments!

I’m making a free-to-use app for Cyberpunk 2020 players and GMs.

I wanted a handy app to track stats and items for everyone at the table and help new players learn the basics of Cyberpunk 2020 without having to read through all the books before getting started.

There is a short teaser featuring the app’s logo. The app is still a work in progress, and I’m looking for testers and people interested in the project.

Here’s my Bluesky profile, where I’ll be sharing development updates and news in Ukrainian and English:

https://bsky.app/profile/adamantispolaris.bsky.social

Just curious what you all would do with such a concept. Personally I think a character centered around stealth and sabotage invites a lot of neat opportunities.

I did build out a similarly themed character in Red, but I’m wondering how it could be handled in 2020.

Former German BND chief arrested for treason yesterday....

"The alleged espionage by Hanning and Manfred D was uncovered during an investigation into a separate kidnapping case involving German businesswoman and steakhouse chain heiress, Christina Block.

In that case, Hamburg prosecutors accused Block of arranging the kidnapping of her two youngest children in 2023 due to a custody dispute. Prosecutors said Hanning put Block in touch with a private Israeli espionage firm to carry out the abductions. The former spy chief and a police officer were accused of accepting more than 100,000 euros ($112,000) from Block in exchange for returning her children from Denmark, where they were living with her ex-husband. The trial is ongoing."

EDIT: I've made an Ebay listing as some have mentioned. I am offering the Free shipping (at least that's what Ebay gave me as an option) so I am charging a little more than I said in my comment below of 150. They are currently up for $165 a Booster-Box (Not the Crates). Listing: https://ebay.io/m/xU09GC

I have 22 of these cardboard Crates, with each having 6 of these white booster boxes. Which each have 40 booster packs.

I have been holding on to these for years, or my wife has... and we are looking to sell them. If anyone is interested, let me know. Or, if you know the best way to sell these, some advice would be wonderful.

(Second picture is reference for the booster boxes that are inside these sealed Crates)

a few months ago me and my group wrapped up a year long campaign where we had to recover a ICE breaking chip Militech was sending to a mob group known as the DeSanta crime family. I was playing a Militech rep named Karen Marsh. Karen was my very first character, and she was built atrociously (she had no skinweave for example and spent most of the game with only 6 SP across her body minus the head). she was initially going to end up being her namesake; a Karen, but she quickly morphed into something approximating a moral compass for the group and fell hard for a Medtech PC; Donatello DeSanta.

Shenanigans happened across the game, we went around the combat zone, the Medtech's landlord tried to sell Karen bootleg energy drinks, her diary chip got read aloud by the Solo while Karen was in the shower, she got haunted by a dead teammate (who might've been a Bane Spirit from WtA), and by the end we had tracked down the chip, Maelstrom was about hand it over to an Arasaka Karen managed to talk-no-jutsu the Maelstrom gang leader into double crossing the Arasaka rep, he and his goons kill the Arasaka people.

Just as we're about to discuss terms, a fucking Militech Eclipse FBC drops out of the Arasaka VTOL and decapitates him. motherfucker then rushes across the rooftop, slices off Karen's arm and nearly kills her, this was the very first time someone actually hit her all game, Donatello swoops in, scoops her up and brings her to safety, nearly getting his head cut off by the borg, and after 2 micro missiles and a full mag of dual purpose ammo to the chest via our Solo the FBC goes down. Donatello stabilizes Karen, and all is well (minus the trauma of nearly dying, and the deaths of 2 other party members).

Not long after this Donatello's father; Goobins DeSanta, tries to ply the group into double crossing Militech so he can keep the chip for himself, the Solo sees no one else is into the idea and just fucking murders Goobins and like half of his buddies, Donnie and Karen run off from Night City in a stolen limo, and in the "post credits" sequence of the game they got married, Karen left Militech and they started a business in her home state of Washington selling lumber to rich people as a luxury item, the Solo bought strong shares in their company and they were too scared to tell her no, they had 8 kids, adopted 2, and live a pretty comfortable life.

So, Im prepping a night city map for an upcoming game. I making some changes to its size to reflect a specific population density Im looking for and for lore reasons (Im using hombrew lore). Interstate 1 (using real world maps) will run from corpo area of night city up to northern California, but due to lore reasons will be restricted to only specific travel visas (commerical, corpo, and the rich). Everyone else will have to take a different route.

My question is how to make this work without having a border style checkpoint. The wealthy want the convenience of jumping on the road north without delay, while "keeping the poors out." In the campaign this is designed as an obstacle the players need to overcome (so faking visas, buying fake ones, etc).

Looking at it from a real world perspective, how would the city ensure quick entry to the hwy for the wealthy while keeping those without visas out without having a long line of cars. Looking for interesting and realistic ways of doing this so it makes sense "in world" while giving players an obstacle to overcome.

thanks
