Cyberpunk Red: Combat Zone is a miniatures skirmish game based on the Cyberpunk tabletop role-playing universe. It offers a meaty experience with easy-to-read cards and tokens, inspired by turn-based tactical games like XCOM. The game is affordable and shipping to crowdfunding backers, with pre-orders open for retail release. Combat Zone is based on the same source material as CD Projekt Red’s own blockbuster multiplatform hit, R. Talsorian Games’ Cyberpunk tabletop role-playing universe. First published in the 1980s, Cyberpunk 2020 was later rebooted with Cyberpunk Red, the analog prequel to Cyberpunk 2077. So while the action technically takes place about 30 years before the events of the video game, many of the factions, weapons, and tropes will immediately be familiar to fans of V and Johnny Silverhand.
The Windheim Companion and The Horn of the Dawn are two books by Nordic Skalds. Windheim is a fantasy world setting for Dragonbane/Drakar och Demoner, set on an island with various factions in conflict. The Horn of the Dawn is a campaign trilogy set in Windheim, offering epic battles, political intrigue, and more.
Garbage & Glory is a tabletop RPG where players control raccoon adventurers diving into the human world to find valuable trash. The game features playable classes, a +One System gameplay mechanic, and garbage and glory cards for rewards.
Warpath, a mass-battle game in the Warpath Universe, is being reconsidered by Mantic Games. The studio has been working on refining the rules for an epic-scale version but faces competition from another company. They seek input from the community to decide the game’s direction, including possible retail launch, plastic models, and distribution channels.

Cyberpunk Red will have a skirmish miniatures game called Combat Zone produced by Monster Fight Club. This is the same company that produced the miniatures for the Cyberpunk Red tabletop game previously. We review the list of best selling “other” (non-5E) TTPRG titles on DriveThruRPG in 2020. The results may surprise you. Finally, we discuss the baggage of the Cyberpunk genre, more specifically the portrayal of Asian culture and stereotypes. There is also a Cyberpunk by Asians Game Jam currently running on Itch.io that may also bring new perspectives to the genre. “Western cyberpunk media borrows heavily from Asian visuals and fetishizes Asian culture, without the involvement of actual Asians. This game jam is for Asian creators who want to make our own cyberpunk games.”
