CyberRogues is a supplement which details 30 non-player characters that the gamemaster can add to a Cyberspace campaign. [1] The description of each character includes a complete personal background, attitude, appearance, skills, languages, and game statistics. [2] The product is 40 pages. [3]
I.C.E. published the cyberpunk role-playing game Cyberspace in 1989. CyberRogues was published the following year, a 40-page softcover book written by Steve Bouton, with art by Janet Aulisio. [1]
Stephan Wieck reviewed the product in the October–November 1990 issue of White Wolf. [3] He noted it provided limited utility, stating that "CyberRogues has some good NPCs, but generally it isn't too useful. Gamemasters who don't have time to flesh out their own NPCs for their campaigns may find the supplement to be a good purchase." Wieck rated it at 2 of 5 points. [3]
Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction in a dystopian futuristic setting that tends to focus on a "combination of lowlife and high tech", featuring futuristic technological and scientific achievements, such as artificial intelligence and cyberware, juxtaposed with societal collapse, dystopia or decay. Much of cyberpunk is rooted in the New Wave science fiction movement of the 1960s and 1970s, when writers like Philip K. Dick, Michael Moorcock, Roger Zelazny, John Brunner, J. G. Ballard, Philip José Farmer and Harlan Ellison examined the impact of drug culture, technology, and the sexual revolution while avoiding the utopian tendencies of earlier science fiction.

CyberGeneration is a follow-up to the R. Talsorian's Cyberpunk 2020 role-playing game.

It is set in the year 2027, 7 years after the events in Cyberpunk 2020. The game's timeline doesn't correspond with that of the later third edition of Cyberpunk, which makes no mention of any of its contents or setting elements.
GURPS Cyberpunk is a genre toolkit for cyberpunk-themed role-playing games set in a near-future dystopia, such as that envisioned by William Gibson in his influential novel Neuromancer.

Since the advent of the cyberpunk genre, a number of derivatives of cyberpunk have become recognized in their own right as distinct subgenres in speculative fiction, especially in science fiction. Rather than necessarily sharing the digitally and mechanically focused setting of cyberpunk, these derivatives can display other futuristic, or even retrofuturistic, qualities that are drawn from or analogous to cyberpunk: a world built on one particular technology that is extrapolated to a highly sophisticated level, a gritty transreal urban style, or a particular approach to social themes.
