GURPS Cyberpunk is probably the best of the cyberpunk role-playing systems. Mainly because it makes use of the GURPS system which allows compatibility with many other gaming styles. Want to put vampires into your cyberpunk game? Just pick up GURPS Vampires. Want to have angels and demons? Just pick up GURPS In Nomine. It makes it a very versatile system. However it is slightly dated, but one of the advantages of GURPS is that you can easily tweak rules to meet your needs.

There were a couple of other books that accompanied this (including Cyberworld and Cyberpunk Adventures ), however they are out of print.

Below you will find what resources that I have been able to gather. Included were some of the materials I put together for a GURPS Cyberpunk game I ran awhile back as well as some interesting bits from alt.cyberpunk.gurps. I also did the legwork of looking though the Steve Jackson Games web site for pages that are useful for a cyberpunk campaign.

A Few Other GURPS Cyberpunk Resources on the Internet


Southowilson Files -  Information on a city setting for GURPS Cyberpunk that  the owner of the site, Andrew Benton,  made.

As You may have noticed, this area is pretty sparse.  Thing is, there are not very many websites for GURPS Cyberpunk.  This is all I have been able to find that gives you more than pricing information.  If you run a GURPS Cyberpunk site, or know of any, please send an e-mail my way at: statik@deathrobots.com


 

This is just a fun little book.  I have read it cover to cover and enjoyed every little bit of it.  If you are new to the world of Cthulhu, don't worry, this book more-or-less gives you everything you need to know to make everyone think your a denizen of the deep.

 

The two genres, supernatural horror (with the Lovecraftian zing of Cthulhu) and cyberpunk really were made for each other.  Paranoia and mental aberrations are a part of cyberpunk and play perfectly into the world of mind bending horror.

 

The Official Call of Cthulhu Homepage will help you flesh out your knowledge of the creatures that should not be.  A simple Google Search will give you an idea of how twisted the sense of humor can be surrounding it.

 

On the cyberpunk side of things, you will mainly find recaps of stuff from both the GURPS Cyberpunk and GURPS Cyberworld books.  Having a copy of either of them is also recommended so that you can get a better array of items, but you probably already knew that.
