looking for a cyberpunk recommendation that is not rules heavy

[julisn147]

Basically the title. Looking for a non rules heavy cyber punk game. The netflix cartoon show got my (computer) gaming buddies into the genre.

Neither of them have played tabletop rpgs before. I dont want to hit them with a 100 page rulebook filled to the brim. Looking for something thats easy to pick up and play both as gm and player. I want them to get into ttrpgs so i dont want to scare them off with too much Reading.

Doesn't necessarily have to be cyberpunk, could be a generic future setting that i can just play in a cyberpunk setting.

I have experience with world of darkness, warhammer fantasy role play and dnd as a gm if that helps the recommendations at all.

Thank you in advance

I don't have experience with any cyberpunk ttrpgs, but Googling brings me to the Cyberpunk Red Jumpstart Kit, which seems like it would be a pretty decent introduction.

Welcome to the forum

So just to be clear, this is for tabletop gaming, not video multiplayer?

Not my area, maybe there's something here:

My table-top experiences are pretty old, but if you want rules-light, my first thought is Paranoia. The "rulebooks" (at least the versions I played) are mostly about how the world works. Actual rules are pretty scarce - though the GM is encouraged to roll dice behind a screen and look at the results worryingly.

I highly recommend The Ascent , its a twin stick shooter that is coop, so you can play with your friends and the cyberpunk setting is amazing in that game, id even say it looks better than CP2077 on some levels.

@julisn147 are you returning? You haven't visited since OP, and we don't want generous members wasting their time.

Looks like Downfall from above article might fit that bill.
