Simply one of the BEST 'cybertek' books ever published. I could say the same about all of the other ATOMIK products as well!

I love this book. It's inexpensive, especially for the quantity and quality of the content. Moreover it's easily adaptable to any game which I love because I use a home-brewed system.

53 pages of CyberTek gold.

The tension between modifying yourself with hardware on purpose, from replacing an arm in a hard-science fiction environment to putting a telephone line jack in your brain to run the net in a farther future setting gives the Atomik Cybertek generic supplment the same edge as found in the Cyberpunk genre. Atomik Cybertek also includes "wet ware", or biological modifications to the human form, raising the same question as other generic supplements: will will recognize us as humans beyond what we are now? Will we be still human? or is there no difference between machine AI and human sentience?

Also includes advice on various scenarios, for example the classic Cyberpunk scenario: replacing human parts with machine parts makes one less human, or modifies human away from reality, or adds to human reality.

Great stuff, this. <br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

I have used Atomik CyberTek in its various incarnations for many years. In those days it was free. Now I have to pay for it, but the moment I saw this new pay for version offered I bought it. Why? Because its invaluable.

If you use any sort of cybernetics in your games this is a must buy. The explanation of each device brings a perspective on the world that allows you to understand the tech subculture of the genre. Each cybernetic has a reason to exisit and you can see the progression on the page.

I love this resource in any incarnation...it just fires my imagination.

Wow! This book gives a whole new dimension to cyberpunk role-playing. It has everything you need to add cybertech to any futuristic game, even space adventures and alterate realities. There is more cybertech here than I've seen in any single book, with literally hundreds of gadgets, including nanotech and biotech, and even symbiotes, as well as cloning, genetic engineering, and templates for "genie" characters.

The first chapter of the book is very nice, presenting an overview of cyberpunk and giving serveral different styles of play like "Tech Noir", "Chic Tech", and "Steam Tech". The rest of the book is all gadgets and implants. A lot of the cyberwear ideas I've never seen before (not even in Shadowrun), and the technology ranges the spectrum from near-future to the very distant future, and each item is rated with a "TL" (tech level). There are even teleporter and anti-grav implants! Also included are rules for "Humanity Cost", and the value of each item is based on a generic "Value Level", which can be translated as either money or character points (or both).

I really got a kick out of the dark humor quotes throughout. They reminded me of those twisted ads from RoboCop. My favorite: "Yoshima Cybernetics... Providing what Mother Nature never intended."

Atomik CyberTek is completely generic, so you can use it with any game system. I'm going to be using this as a foundation for my d20 space campaign.
