Upgrade To Interface Magazine For Even More Cyberpunk RED DLC
Downloadable Content, or DLC, is a common feature with video games. It adds new player content, missions, cosmetics and other add-ons that extend the life of a game. In some cases, such as the DLC for Cyberpunk 2077, it improves the game and turns it into something players come back to again and again.
Cyberpunk 2077's tabletop sibling, Cyberpunk RED, embraced this notion of DLC early on in its development. Every month it releases new, free content to fans to use in their home games. These drops include everything from new gear to rules for roller derby to graphics files that help Game Masters make authentic looking props for their games.
For fans who want to support this initiative, they can pick up copies of Interface. This magazine collects many of these downloads into a single volume. Each issue also includes a special rules expansion exclusive to the volume.
R. Talsorian Games recently released the fourth Interface DLC collection. Now seems like a good time to look at each one and discuss the highlights of the different articles, player options and plug in rules on display in each. A review copy of Interface Issue #4 was provided for this article.
This issue kicks off the run with a collection of pre-generated characters, net architectures and other game elements that can drop into any storyline. It also contains the first article about Elflines Online, Night City's most popular online game. The Elflines articles are a great way to pull Cyberpunk RED characters into some classic fantasy stories, as well as a way to add in fantasy elements for fans who want a little bit of both.

The exclusive article focuses on drones and how they work in the Time of the RED. I found the article about converting weapons from the original Cyberpunk 2020 to be the most useful. Cyberpunk characters are often defined by their gear and there is a ton of useful stuff just waiting in that earlier edition's Chrome Books.
This DLC collection includes new gear and locations for runners to crash. On the GM side, there are hardened bad guys and a weather generator for atmosphere. Elflines Online gets a guide to encounters and monsters.
This volume includes rules on exotics, people who use cyberware to modify themselves into having more animalistic features than futuristic chrome. I found the conversion guide to the Jumpstart Kit most useful by updating the boxed set content to work with the finished game. Jumpstart Kits are the best way to get a sample of Night City no matter what time frame.
The third issue of Interface gives the Game Master mini-bosses that fit in between the minions and bosses built in the core book. More guns and gear of course, plus new programs for netrunners and cyberware that's cheap and flashy. An article about the Elflines Online collectible card game offers a great send up of its real life counterparts.
My favorite inclusion here is a lifepath style dating routine to use with players. It's a great way to add new allies and rivals while the players are off the clock from their edgerunning gigs. For the hardcore solos, the exclusive article discusses Full Body Conversions where characters lose all their meat in exchange for maximum metal.
The most recent issue puts some cut material from Black Chrome out into the world. Rules for building a punknaught give players a chance to make the mobile headquarters of their dreams. Though this collection doesn't have Elflines Online, there are rules for achievement and loot boxes that bring a little video game reality to your cyberpunk fantasy.
The exclusive content this time around are several Martial Arts styles that really expand the usefulness of that skill. They contain a mix of real world styles and ones that have evolved in the streets of Night City. These styles also contain a lot of inspiration for anyone who wants to design their own.
Cyberpunk RED players can look forward to new content coming out on a regular basis. Each release contains new inspirations and ideas for the game. But they also make Night City feel like a living, breathing and growing place.

Children's Books: ‘Everyday Bean' by Stephanie Graegin
Stephanie Graegin uses observant lines of text and affectionate, detailed illustrations to tell 10 short stories about a tiny hedgehog named Bean in 'Everyday Bean.' Most of the tales in this humane and beguiling collection for children ages 3-7 run no longer than a handful of lines over three or four pages. In one, Bean has great success in spooking other forest creatures by pretending to be a ghost: 'I'm much better at this than I expected,' she thinks. She is looking forward to making her grandmother jump, too, but day turns to night and still Grandma (who is also a hedgehog) has not emerged from the house. Bean eventually shouts her hope that the old lady will come outside. 'Absolutely not!' Grandma shouts from inside. 'There's a ghost out there!' A ghost figures in the cavalcade of horribles summoned at bedtime in the humorous rhyming pages of Huw Aaron's 'Sleep Tight, Disgusting Blob.' In most respects, this lullaby for readers ages 4-8 runs according to type, with a parent ushering a child through the stages of evening ritual—teeth-brushing, bath-taking, pajama-donning—and saying tender things at tuck-in and lights-out. The difference is that the protagonists here are heaps of green slime (with googly eyes and cheery smiles) and the characters the narrator enlists are not winsome animals or cute human children but creepy creatures such as minotaurs, mummies and vampires. 'Closed is the Cyclops's glowering eye. / Steady is the Brain's gentle throb,' we read. 'Settled and snoring is the Beast of the Moor. / Shush now, my horrible Blob.' It will not be to every parent's taste for an author to make light of demons and evil, as Mr. Aaron briefly does here, but the less finicky are likely to relish this entertaining variation on an old nursery staple. A stormy confrontation leads to domestic bliss in 'The Fierce Little Woman and the Wicked Pirate,' a revival of Joy Cowley's 1984 text with new illustrations by Miho Satake. The fierce little woman, as we see her, is a redhead who lives in a house at the end of a jetty. During the day she knits and plays bagpipes. At night she enjoys listening to 'the sea breathing in and out under her door.' When a wicked pirate asks to be allowed into her home, the fierce little woman refuses to admit him. (In earlier editions, this fellow was haughty, pale and Captain Hook-ish; here he is a brawny sea dog with a dark complexion and a big gold earring.) Only when the pirate confesses his fear of the dark does the woman relent, and in short order the two are married. Happy scenes of the husband and wife later gamboling with their three children ('who are never fierce, and only sometimes wicked') give warmth and charm to this picture book for readers ages 4-6.

NHL Fans Absolutely Lose It After Avalanche Sign Brent Burns
NHL Fans Absolutely Lose It After Avalanche Sign Brent Burns originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Colorado Avalanche officially signed veteran defenseman Brent Burns to a one-year, $1 million deal for the 2025–26 season on July 2. Advertisement The move will see the Avs add one of hockey's most colorful personalities and most durable players to their blue line as they try to launch another push toward Stanley Cup contention next season. Burns, 40, played all 82 games last season for Carolina, logging nearly 21 minutes a night while contributing 29 points and helping the Hurricanes reach the second round of the playoffs. The veteran, who was drafted with the No. 20 pick in the 2003 draft, is entering his 22nd season in the NHL, and has appeared in all 82 regular-season games in all of the last four seasons. Burns' résumé includes 910 points through 1,497 regular-season games, a Norris Trophy award as the best defenseman in the league, and six All-Star appearances. Advertisement The Avalanche, who needed depth on defense, are betting on Burns as a bottom-pairing option and a veteran locker room presence. The reaction to the news of Burns' signing on Reddit was instant and definitely chaotic. "Where the actual (expletive) did this signing come from lmfaoooo," one fan posted. "God this was out of nowhere lol," another account echoed. "Burns looks very confused in the picture... wait, I'm Brent Burns and I don't remember that," another person joked. New Colorado Avalanche defenseman Brent Burns warms up before a Carolina Hurricanes Sabau-Imagn Images "This man is always a Shark to me," one nostalgic user wrote, referencing Burns' best years in San Jose. "Legend of the locker room and hopefully will be the same for the Avs," a Hurricanes fan posted. Advertisement "He's on a 911 Ironman streak at 40. Absolute unit," another user noted. "Fitting he goes to Colorado when he looks like a sasquatch," another joked. "A defenseman that has long waited to have his name on the Cup joining the Avs? That's Joe Sakic's music," another person said about the Avs GM landing Burns.

‘KPop Demon Hunters' Dethroned In Netflix's Top 10 List By A New Movie
KPop Demon Hunters While KPop Demon Hunters has performed exceptionally on Netflix's Top 10 list, another new Netflix original movie has come along to unseat it. And it is a very, very bad one, by all accounts. That would be The Old Guard 2, the sequel to the 2020 action film that apparently did well enough to warrant a sequel. It was well-reviewed, actually. It had an 80% critic scores and a solid 71% audience score, in the context of Netflix originals, quite good indeed. The Old Guard 2? It's a disaster. The film has a dismal 28% score from critics, a 52% drop, and so far, it's not beloved by fans either where it clocks in with a 43% score. Here's the synopsis of the Charlize Theron thriller: Top 10 The film has drawn in actress Uma Thurman this time around and given her a sword for the first time since Kill Bill, but that isn't enough, and if you liked the first one, you may want to skip this one. What you do not want to skip is KPop Demon Hunters, no matter where it ends up on the Top 10 list or how far it falls. The film is incredible with a 94% critic score and from Sony Animation, the group behind the Spider-Verse movies, and you can tell from the unique animation style here. The movie is so good that its soundtrack is charting high on Billboard, and there's already talk of a sequel given the reception. It's been high on the Top 10 list since its release well over two weeks ago, and I'd say that definitely makes it one of the most successful Netflix original movies we've seen in a while. So, skip The Old Guard 2 (maybe watch the first one, if you haven't) and check out KPop Demon Hunters. I know you will probably not regret either piece of advice. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
