Cyberpunk Red Jumpstart Kit

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The 4th Corporate War’s over and the big dogs have retreated to their corners to lick their wounds. That leaves everyone else to fend for themselves in a shattered world.

And that’s just fine. ‘cause you’ve got interface plugs in your wrists, metal in your limbs, and chips in your skull. You’re wired in, loaded with chrome, and ready to take it to the Edge.

There’s a world full of opportunities out there. Maybe this time you can do more than save yourself. Maybe.

The Cyberpunk Red Jumpstart Kit is the perfect introduction to the newest edition of the classic Cyberpunk tabletop roleplaying game and includes:

  • Two booklets, one containing world lore and adventures and the other the essential rules needed to play.
  • Six pregenerated characters.
  • Maps and standees to help bring the world of Cyberpunk to life!

Staff Pick

OBS_mere.pngWhether you love cyberpunk as a genre, adored Cyberpunk 2020, or are eagerly awaiting Cyberpunk 2077, you're going to love Cyberpunk Red. Even though the Cyberpunk Red core book is out now, the Cyberpunk Red Jumpstart Kit allows for a taste of the system, world, and flavor that have made this franchise world famous.

The kit is slim in a minimalist way, but with a sleek, gorgeous layout, allowing for a basic setup for the world of Cyberpunk Red. You get two 50-page booklets (one containing world lore and adventures, the other rules needed to play), six pre-generated characters, plus maps and standees to get your game started. The rules are more or less what I remember from Cyberpunk 2020, but with a few new mechanics that will make for an unforgettable time.

This is a great starter campaign for your group, or even just something fun to read, and it offers a chance to experience the nostalgia or dive into the unknown, depending on your level of experience.

Are the player characters and missions copied or new from the Cyber Red Datat pack?

How many players is the included adventure intended for? I was trying to find the informationin the pdf's but unfortunately I've been unable to find it so far, admittedly there's a chance I've overlooked it.

We generally write missions for 4 to 6 players but you can run with as few as 1.

Thank you for your response, it's massively appreciated. Can you recommend any adjustments to cater for lower player counts? I'm looking at running it for two people interested in the game.

The Apartment is fairly modular, allowing you to tailor the experience to the group. Lowering the number of enemies in combat scenarios or adding help in the form of allies is always helpful. You might also consider running some combat in waves at first - sending in only a few enemies and then, if your group has no problem with them, having more enter the fray. If you feel some Skills are missing and needed, feel free to give them to a Player Character who doesn't have them. For example, tech skills or driving skills.

Stopping Power values differ between CPR and JSK, which are correct, and will the incorrect PDF be updated?

I've only just noticed that the cyberware descriptions here are more detailed than in the core book. They are similar to those in the old Cyberpunk 2020 book, and on Reddit I noticed that many fans missed these more complete descriptions, including to help with interpretation. Any chance of them being reintroduced in future supplements, covering other cyberware that was left out here?

Yes and I really liked it! I hope the description format will be used in other products! It's just that I was hoping to see similar descriptions of cyberware from the core books, at least those not covered by Jumpstart Kit. Some can use similar cyberware descriptions from 2020, others could perhaps be updated.

Anyway, thanks for the reply!

Now that both the core rulebook and Easy mode are out, is there a possibility that the The Apartment scenario be spin out as its own separate cheaper product?
The scenario got some good feedback from Seth Skorkowsky on Youtube, but as someone who just purchased the full physical rulebook, I'd appreciate not to have to pay full price for a starter kit just to get the scenario.

This approach was taken by Mongoose Publishing and The Fall of Tinath mini-campaign included in their starter kit which can now be found separately on DTRPG.

Are there any details on the full release? Last I read it's releasing at the end of summer (which is right around the corner), but I haven't seen anything about the details of the mechanics. Just a flew blurbs about live streams and a few notes on world info. Will there be weapon lists? Or is it going to be like the JumpStart kit and just use broad labels for weapon types (ie; heavy pistol, smg, etc)? I really like the direction the JumpStart kit is going in, but I hope the full release doesn't lose all the detail CP2020 had in the equipment. "Shopping" through the minute details in gear was a lot of fun in my group.

You'll find out devnotes to date here: https://rtalsoriangames.com/developers-logs/

And the answer is, you'll find both in the core rulebooks. We aren't going in the direction of "a wall of guns, each different by one small stat change" but we recognize that commercial branding (even fictional commercial branding) is part of the cyberpunk ethos.

Thanks for the reply. I'm aware of the "devnotes" on R.Talsorian's site, but there is very VERY little info there about the game's actual mechanics or development. It's mostly just hype posts, links to streams, and a smidge of lore. No one knows what the actual GAME (not art, not lore -- the game itself) is going to look like because nothing is being shown.

Please, you can share with me the contact of who is responsible for licensing for publishing your material in other countries, I am interested in making a commercial proposal.

Thank you very much.

nice update to 2020. Although, 'missiles' not 'missles' on the play aids.

I will note that I'll be running this with 2D6-1 instead of a D10--I need me some bell curve.

I repeat my kudos to the game, but a lot of discussion speculates on which rules simplifications were only for the purposes of fitting a game into the Jumpstart Kit, and which are deliberate simplifications (compared to the old CP2020 of 30 years ago) which will be retained in the full big core rulebook. We have no way to tell.
Are there any statements that you can make to the RPG fans about what rules stay simplified in the core rulebook? It will help us move properly if we want to create adventures using the condensed Jumpstart rules that will still work after the core rulebook release.

What you see in the Jumpstart Kit are building blocks. We're going out from there but the core will stay more or less the same.

I understand that the combat system was simplified a bit from the old version. Is that staying the same (or maybe a more complex optional rule)? Apparently the old version has many fans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxk7lcUDLLs&t=598s&ab_channel=SethSkorkowsky

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
