Excellent resource. The maps are beautifully detailed and atmospheric, the animated WEBM maps use the VP8 codec so they work in Fantasy Grounds Unity with no modifications and they look even more atmospheric than the static maps.
Definitely will be buying more from this publisher.

One of the classic R. Talsorian Cyberpunk source books. All you need to provide long-term employment for your ragtag band of misfits.
Set in Night City, of course, but there's nothing stopping you from transplanting it into the setting of your choice with little to no modifications.

Another great book from Frankenstein Bee - a system-agnostic collection of tables to provide random adventure hooks and rumours and generate jobs for your cyberpunk-themed games.
Really good stuff here - and it's up to you to decide whether the rumours are true...

Exactly what it says on the tin. 30 kinds of weather for your gritty dystopian/dark future. A good mix of realistic weather and the sort of nastiness you'd expect in a grim future due to pollution and climate change.
If you don't have a D30, roll a D10 then roll a D6 as a "control die" - on a 1 or 2, don't add anything to the value on the D10, on a 3 or 4 add 10 to the value of the D10 and on 5 or 6 add 20 to the value on the D10.
System-agnostic so it will work for any Cyberpunk-ish Dark Future game and give more options than constant rain or smog.

What's a cyberpunk game without the team going out and getting hammered in a pub? Bloody boring, that's what.
This book provides a number of options from grubby dives - where you'll get robbed by the clientele - to swanky establishments where robbing you is the sole privilege of the management. In addition there's an interesting collection of random night-dwellers you may well encounter as you lurch from pub to pub...

This is a great collection of tables for enhancing immersion in your gritty and dystopian dark future setting. Random items, foods you'd expect to find in a multicultural setting, random NPC encounters and adventure hooks.

Some very useful tables for enhancing the atmosphere of your dark or dystopian future games - the News Chatter could be merely background details or an adventure hook, random items you might find in a Corporate Locker Room, gang hideout, pawn shop or kitchen, random encounters, global foods and beverages and lots of random names for NPCs.

OK, Choomba. You've got a brilliant idea for a game, the team is going to go out and find something that's relevant to the plot. You've come up with lots of relevant details on characters, locations the macguffin etc - and that's the problem: they're all relevant to the plot. They go to the only fleshed-out location, talk to the only NPCs and find the only item in the only room that's got something in it.
This is where this range of books comes in and shines! Instead of spending hours wracking your brains to come up with stuff to obfuscate your plot-relevant details and flesh out your dystopian setting into something with real atmosphere, a few rolls of the dice on the tables in this book will provide you with any number of dwellings, their contents and occupants.
The tables are designed to be "system agnostic" and therefore work equally well with Cyberpunk (from 2013 to Red), Shadowrun, Altered Carbon, GURPS or any other dark future setting or even some science fiction se

Got this along with the Augmented Reality book. Not only does this put the random location, Instacitizen and Hackable Asset tables together in one convenient place, its list of "Cloak and Dagger" contacts is brilliantly imaginative. Definitely recommend getting both this and the full Augmented Reality Holistic City Kit book.

If I'd known how good this book was going to be, I would've chosen a higher "PAY WHAT YOU WANT" amount when I bought it.
Extremely well written with lots of excellent random ideas for sights, sounds, smells, characters, locations and so much more. It certainly spiced up the cyberpunk game by providing details to catch the characters' eyes and the players' imaginations.
Can't recommend this book enough.

Well, since 1) I referee Cyberpunk 2020 games and 2) I actually live on the Pacific Rim and set my games in/around New Zealand towns I've lived in (with one notable exception when I set the game in Australia), I figured I'd buy this.
Also, people said the Martial Arts rules were great.
I must say that the section on New Zealand was very well written. This book is a great addition to my collection of Cyberpunk 2020 source books.
