I could imagine it would follow the videogame map, given the anime this is based on did too. That or it's using NC from Red with an update coming with a possible 2077 rulebook
@@danielllitpek2014 @RoseDragoness Short answer: It's based on the video game map. Longer answer: I thought this would be straightforward to answer. Heck, you just pull out the map and compare to to the RPG, but in truth, it's more complicated in that. I'll also say I'm not an authority on the layout of Night City in the various iterations of the Cyberpunk RPG; I didn't start playing until Cyberpunk RED, and I generally haven't payed too much attention to the geography of Cyberpunk 2077 (in part because I think the various regions in the video game - with a few exceptions - tend to blur together. That's post for another day. To start, the Edgerunners 2077 map doesn't call out the major districts like Pacifica and Heywood, though it does identify many of the component neighborhoods For example, for Heywood, it lists Wellsprings, Glen and Vista Del Rey, but not Heywood itself. Same thing for Pacifica; no mention of Pacifica, but you get the neighborhoods of West Wind Estate, Coast View, and Dog Town. The map discrepancies between 2045 (the Time of Red) and 2077 persist in this new map. On the 2045 map, we have Heywood (Santo Domingo) in the southeast corner of the city, across the bay from the central peninsula. In 2077, Heywood is just south of the new corporate center. In 2045, Old Japantown and Little China are on the central peninsula and adjacent to the ruined Old Corp Center / Old Med Center. In 2077, Little China across the water to the north, and Japantown has replaced Little China. I haven't gotten into the lore book of Edgerunners to see if they give any story reasons for this. I mean, Johnny Silverhand *did* nuke Old Corp Center, and they *did* build a beltway road in 2077 (which doesn't exist on 2045), so I imagine there's some hand waving you could do to explain some of the moves in 2077. That said, there are differences between the Cyberpunk 2020 edition of Night City and 2045, so cartographic consistency isn't exactly a hallmark of the series in any edition. Again, though, this is based on me going back and puzzling through the 2020 Night City sourcebook and not deep knowledge of the setting. That's my impression, but I didn't do an exhaustive comparison. If someone with exhaustive knowledge wants to way in, have at it :)
I read through geography section of the Edgerunner's Handbook, and it addresses some of the district moves. The Districts of Night City (p. 17) "The landscape of Night City has changed dramatically since its founding. Districts have risen, fallen, and even moved as war and changing demographics have transformed them". For example, it calls out Heywood's move from its 2045 location to its 2077 location, talking about a reclamation movement of the old war zone district and how people in North Heywood realized that South Night City was better than their neighborhoods, so they moved into South Night City, kicked out the reclaimers, and renamed the district. "To them, Heywood was who they were, not where they lived." So, if you want to make sense of the 2077 changes, the Edgerunner's Handbook can help. :)
@@NoPunchline Yep - just found that. And it tracks the area you want to blur, so it's pretty easy to use. Takes a while to render the changes (or so TH-cam warned me). Thanks again for the note and the tip.
I still need to delve into the Quick Hack rules. It's not like they're super complicated, but it's been a busy few weeks.
got a new sub. i need to get that kit
thanks for the sub!
does the map follow the tabletop map or the video game map? Cause afaik the placement of Pacifica was changed on the video game...

Hey man we can still see everything you tried to cover with the sharpie...
Thanks for the note!
Time to see if our editor has a blurring function.
Also, maybe duct tape for next time... :)
@@kennewquist2218 You can blur it after uploading on youtube if that's more convenient
