Concept: "A rules light, Friday Night Firefight! This is a non-commercial fan adaptation of Cyberpunk 2077 for the Cy_Borg roleplaying system. This work is intended for personal use and sharing within the fan community under fair use principles. It is not intended for any profit or for sale. No copyright infringement is intended."

Content: A rules hack for the Cyberpunk 2077 fan who might want to use the Cy_Borg rules instead (or to make their version of Night City feel a bit more CY-inspired.)
Writing: Lots of matter-of-fact descriptions complemented with terse flavorful descriptors to call back to the Cyberpunk 2077 world.
Art/design: A range of distinct spreads and single-page layouts to reflect the focus for each page, often with hand-drawn illustrations of relevant material and employing similarly distinct color schemes.
Usability: While fonts change from layout to layout, there is a relatively consistent visual grammar to distinguish headings from body text or emphasized text elements. However, text is not embedded, so searching/selecting is not available.

Concept: “Printer Friendly weapons based on weapons and rules of CY_Borg.”

Content: Eighteen weapon tokens/cards to be printed out for use in a game of Cy_Borg.

Writing: Very brief rules/mechanics for each weapon to facilitate their use.

Art/Design: Black-and-white aesthetic with a grid of tokens/cards to be printed and cut for individual use. An image of each weapon is provided, along with relevant text (name of weapon and its mechanics) surrounding the image in different font faces/styles.

Usability: Some fonts are much easier to read than others due to text size, contrast, character ornateness, etc. Because files are PNGs, text is not searchable/selectable.

Concept: “Characters die quickly, doesn't mean they shouldn't be special. The concept behind this expansion is to take the original styles present at character generation in Cy_Borg and give them a mechanical bonus. Some are more crunchy, some add flavor and some are brand new!”

Content: Seven pages of assorted punk styles that also provide a variety of mechanical effects.

Writing: Concise descriptions and explanations of style benefits/effects alongside similarly brief but potent style labels (e.g., “cadavercore,” “cybercrust,” “neurotripper”). 

Art/Design: Each page includes multiple rows of style labels and descriptions, with each exuding its own visual aesthetic (font choices, color choices, background patterns or relevant images, etc.) to create full-page effects that resemble walls plastered with numerous flyers or screens crammed with assorted ads.

Usability: Most of the text is high-contrast and in visually distinct and recognizable sections, creating an easier navigation experience than the busy pages might initially suggest. However, files are provided as .png files, so text content is not embedded (so no searching or selecting text).
