It was a lot to review, but I managed to collect some thoughts before the end of the jam! Sadly I was not able to run a oneshot as I had hoped, but here are some thoughts from a GM who has not ran it yet.
Big! Lots of fun lore, well explained in the intros and city section.
The character sheet is great! Other than lowering the darkness of the grey highlighted parts, all good!
The attributes are well designed and laid out, but I do think the lines between Spirit's Network & Sway is very very thin. Similar with Slip & Finesse. I got some World of Darkness & Tales from the Loop vibes from that section. I don't recall it being explicitly stated, but I know players will want to negotiate and mix and match what attribute they roll. As the GM, I was tempted to split them into stats & skills style, letting them roll Mind + Slip or the classic muscle of the group rolling Body + Sway. (purely because this is fun, and what my players are used to, not as a criticism of how its set up! :)
Stress mechanics have evolved and changed in the ttrpg space the last 5 years, IMHO. The vocabulary we use with other gamers has sort of changed what that means. For that reason, stress might want to be renamed. Inspiration or luck better describes the mechanic you are using, or even as a fortitude score/stat.
BACKGROUNDS. Backgrounds and vices look cool, but atm they don't matter. There is no change in stats or abilities, no in world consequences, etc. A lot of other cyberpunk content has tables and life paths to roll on, and having it be quick and easy to generate a character using those backgrounds and vices. If and when we see more character creation information and content, it would be nice if backgrounds and vices mattered and had more tables or room to generate over hand picking.
On at least 3 occasions, there was a page that began with a single paragraph, or three or less, leaving 75% or more of the page blank white. Its totally a pet peeve of mine, but for people who print and bind pdfs at home, it is a lot of wasted space.
Overall, I am very impressed by the game. I need to re read it again soon. I want to test it out with my players.
EDIT: spelling,
