I don't know if you're familiar with "The Giant Book of Cyberpunk Battle Maps". It looks like a great product.

Not for me. I use a VTT in a F2F game. But I'll still check out the game; I can always throw in a retro architecture craze/fad into the setting if the rest of it is good enough.

Can’t this be played “theater of the mind” style or does it require battlemaps?

Sure it can. We played CP2020 way back when with no maps or minis, and only the occasional crapmap scrawled on paper to make clear positioning. You could do TotM with the original or this version.

Maybe Billy Idol should rerelease his album "Cyberpunk" on the same day.

Anybody else remember Sigue Sigue Sputnik?

Does CP use 5 feet per inch grids?

I can’t recall ever using minis to play Cyberpunk, to be honest, but surely the scale would be metric?

Why?

... crapmap scrawled on paper....

"Crapmap" is an accurate term I haven't heard in decades.

Does CP use 5 feet per inch grids?

Each "square" is 2 yards (or meters).

I don't get it. What is VTT, F2F and craze/fad?

 

[TrippyHippy]

Why?

Because the Cyberpunk game uses the metic system.

VTT= Virtual Table Top. Everyone at my table has a laptop with MapTools installed, and instead of minis, we have pogs (images of PCs and NPCs) which we move around highly detailed maps. The program calculates distance, etc.; markers can be added to creatures to shopw temporary states (wounded, etc), and the GM can move pogs around that the players can't see (invisible, not within field of view, etc). You can also set it so the players can only see what is within the range of the light sources their PCs are carrying.

F2F: Face to face, where all the gamers are gathered around a table, as opposed to gaming over the net.
