Welcome Smallestgiant
We did not hear from you in the 'recruitment' thread, so don't know what you are hoping to get from this game.
Tell us a bit about yourself. What PbtA (Powered by the Apocalypse (the basis for the ruleset used in this game)) experience do you have? What experience with other RPGs (Role Playing Games)? It is alright if the answer to either is 'none', (though it would be strange if only the latter was :).
This system is very 'short' and 'simple', hence much of the guidance one needs to play is assumed to be picked up from other games, 'PbtA principles' need to be found elsewhere (if it means anything to you, I will probably draw more from Apocalypse World than from The Sprawl, but even something like Dungeon World's principles and guidance (in the free SRD) can help (maybe I should add a short set of our own?)). Prior PbtA or RPG experience is not needed.
Ask lots of questions and we can work out the answers together.
However:
Note that this game has been rather quiet. I set it up as part of an effort to have games available for new players when they join the site, but nothing has happened here yet, only the ever-popular genre of Fantasy has seen much action. You are currently the only player here. I can point you to another 'game for new players' if needed.
If need be we can try recruit more players. Cyberpunk is not an ideal setting/system for solo play (where there is only one player (and maybe a GM)). Solo play can be a good way to learn a system or roleplaying in general, or PbP (Play by Post) in this case, but can also be stressful --or a lot of work-- as all the spotlight is on you, all the time, and you don't have other players to bounce ideas off of.
If you are still wanting to try this, we can look at getting some help, or we can go it alone and hope that activity will bring in more interest.
This is not Shadowrun. 'Cyberpunk' is not well defined, so we may need to calibrate expectations. What are you looking for?
Take a look at the Help! thread for guidance. Feel free to ask any question here or in the General Chat depending on where they seem relevant.
You can find the Game's Rule Book copied here for easy access, or get the PDF. You may find the Character Creation section useful to get an idea of the sorts of character this game offers.
