Glumdark's agnostic cyberpunk random tables provide NPC inspiration, e.g. a wirehead poser with tasteless sunglasses, wearing a t-shirt for a band you've never heard of walks into a netrunner bar. #cyberpunk #CyberpunkRed #ttrpg cyber.glumdark.com

Random street encounters need random names, and Fantasy Name Generator's Cyberpunk (Nick)name Generator obliges. It generates short, one-word street names like Ghost, Pitch, and Cash. #Cyberpunk #CyberpunkRED #NameGenerators #RandomGenerators www.fantasynamegenerators.com/cyberpunk-na...
