Been reading @RTalsorianGames's excellent Cyberpunk RED lately. Can we talk about this fantastic book for a second? Because it's seriously setting a new standard for #ttrpgs for me!
Let's start with THAT ART! Speaks for itself really. Simply fantastic.

But wait, the fantastic representation doesn't stop there. In a setting all about modding your body, where over-cybering can cause cyberpsychosis, you might be asking: what about disabled folx and handling gender identity.
They nailed it. *chef's kiss*

Or in short: whether your character sports a wheelchair or a pair of medical grade cyber legs, or has gender affirmation surgery, or in dealing with any disability they are not penalized on their build. As it should be.
The inclusion of therapy being so front and center is also awesome.
The book itself is a joy in its formatting. Clear, easy to read, with headers that stand out and important info in bold for quick reference. It reiterates rules several times throughout when relevant and tells you exact page numbers to jump to if you want to skip around.
Also, the quality of the writing throughout the book is top notch. Informative, entertaining, and occasionally hilarious.
All in all this new edition of Cyberpunk (and my entry point into this system) has been fantastic! A huge thanks to R. Talsorian Games, Mike Pondsmith, and all the hard working people who bring this setting to life!
