The RED

Welcome to the Cyberpunk RED Index — Your Gateway to the Time of the Red

Step into the dark future. The Cyberpunk RED Index is your definitive guide to the people, places, tech, and turmoil of Night City and beyond. Whether you're a seasoned Edgerunner or new to the gritty streets of the Time of the Red, this resource hub breaks down the lore, roles, gear, netrunning systems, and corporate intrigue that define the world of Cyberpunk RED.

Here you’ll find categorized entries that explain the setting’s most important terms — from booster gangs and black clinics to megacorporations and memory-scorched net ghosts. Each glossary page includes brief descriptions, deep dives, visual references, and adventure hooks, giving GMs and players instant access to worldbuilding insights and storytelling fuel.

We’ve organized this index to help you build immersive campaigns, understand character archetypes, and navigate the shifting power structures of a fractured, tech-drenched society. All content is system-safe, spoiler-light, and designed for ease of reference at the table or between sessions.

Dive in, jack into the Net, and get ready to run the edge.
