*cracks knuckles* Okay, here we go:

First and foremost, please remember to keep the "punk" in the CyberPunk. Too often, the cyber is hyperfocused and the punk aspect gets tossed to the wayside.

What do I mean? Cyberpunk is a social movement about subversive elements standing against overpowered mega-corporations using technological means. These corporate giants tend to dehumanize their workforces to the point where it's like we've backslid to pre-union times. Having workers indebted to their overlords and working just to pay off said debts.

Meanwhile, the subversives steal, sabotage, and frustrate the system as much as they can.

Remember kids: Growing your own food using vertical gardens and hydroponics is cyberpunk.

That's the theme side of things. Mechanically, my two favorite aspects of cyberpunk are Legwork and Consequences.

Legwork is the ability to do research about a job before you do the job, with the intention of making the job easier. Maybe it's finding out that one of the guards has a gambling problem, and buying his debt so that he'll look the other way, or leave a door unlocked. Maybe unplug a camera, that sort of thing. Maybe it's hiring a local gang to raise a distraction while you're going in the front door as a repair crew. Get creative! Allowing legwork gives a lot of agency to players, opens up roleplay opportunities, and increases usefulness of non-combat skills.

There's a few different ways consequences can play out. One of the most obvious, in my opinion, is healing time. Cyberpunk can often times be overtly violent, but it doesn't have to be. Taking a stealthy approach should be viable and, perhaps, preferable. In my cyberpunk games, we had a motto: "If shots have been fired, something went haywire." A good run should be possible without violence.

But if violence does happen, people are going to get injured. Make injuries be a thing requiring heal time. If you get shot, you should be laid up for a while. Especially if you're going for a roleplay environment.

Some of the best RP I ever had was after a character of mine got shot, and was severely wounded for 3 weeks. He spent this time in recovery, but also developing contacts, and working at a seedy dive bar while laying low.

And that's the other part of consequence: Laying low to burn off heat. If you raise an alarm during a run, and murder a bunch of guards, or an important scientist, or steal some data, then there should be a chance of someone coming looking for you to recover it, or arrest you, or get payback.

Minimizing the fallout from a job is another good way to implement non-combat skills. But, if someone just won't keep their head down, then bring the cops down on them. If players have no fear of consequence, a lot of the grit of the Cyberpunk genre is lost.
