EDIT: It's been released! https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store...=IPFGCPRRTGSPM

I just saw this one:

Single Player Mode is a rulebook for Cyberpunk RED published by R. Talsorian Games. It was announced on July 31, 2025[1], and released on September 16, 2025.

They actually did it! I hope this one joins the catalogue of FGU.

For those that don't know, don't be fooled by the name, this is an absolute GEM of a Game Master resource as well.

I'm curious what parts are the most helpful for GMs. Random encounter stuff? Story structure?

Seems like its way more than that. But I don't have the book yet, so I don't know for sure. These are from its own page:

• Closed and Open Question Oracles fine-tuned to playing Cyberpunk RED.
• Guidelines for running solo play investigations, social challenges, and combat.
• Quick and Dirty rules for fast fighting and Netrunning.
• Rules for solo play clocks, adding random timers for more unpredictability.
• Mission builders to create a gig from scratch. Roll it all random or just use them to inspire.
• Over 100 lists, tables, and random encounter charts to help you populate your Cyberpunk RED game with people, places, things, organizations, and plots.
• Forms to keep track of it all, from NPC stat blocks to scene and gig trackers.

Expert solo player Peter Norton of HollowPonds Solo Sagas has teamed up with R. Talsorian Games to create the ultimate solo play guide for Cyberpunk RED.

Well, there's direct tools like the Morale system, the Random Clocks system, Quick and Dirty Combat system, Quick and Dirty Netrunning system, simple Investigation and Social Challenge systems, and a bunch of super useful forms for those playing in-person at a table.

On top of all that, the random encounter tables are far better that what's in the core rulebook, the random mission generator is really good, and then there's just all sorts of other tables for generating random NPCs, plot twists, atmosphere, etc.

I accidentally stumbled upon a free DLC pdf in DriveThruRPG and it contains few demo pages from the book:

It's at the bottom: September 2025.

Actually, those are additional pages, cut content from the full release. So that's the stuff that was considered "extra" to what's already in the book.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. Based on the tables there, it looks like some must-have CP stuff like Atmosphere tables, and other necessary ones.
If all the tables are like these ones, providing the soloing systems are easy to use, this book can speed up GM for unprepared sessions quite easily.

I will confirm, I fully plan to integrate it. At the moment I'm working on another thing I promised in the ruleset (then I'll release cutiemas), then I'll be working on integrating the solo rules and sheets (that second part is what will take most of the time). It will probably take a few months, but it will be added.

Looking forward to it!
