Hi Guys!
I recently ran a sort of Session Zero for The Sprawl where I had a conversation with my players about Cyberpunk as a genre, did some world building, established some tech rules, and did character creation. Great time so far, and we came up with some really neat info stemming from our particular custom Corporations. If you’re lucky enough to have a group who enjoys world building, I highly recommend taking the time to do this because it really helps with player (and MC) connection to the setting.
I haven’t ran my first official game yet, but hope to within the next week or so. In preparation for doing so, I decided to throw together a spreadsheet I could share with my players to simplify the rules a bit by breaking them into general categories. I also have a tab for PC info, and Corporate Clocks, but those might be less useful to anyone not running the game.
If you cursor over specific cells on the spreadsheet you’ll notice I added notes for quite a few things that will save new players and MCs from having to open up the pdf or book, which will hopefully save us some time.
I was heavily trained in Excel at work. Became the Dark Lord of Excel. But the problem is you might end up using it for everything.
This spreadsheet is great! I may have to use it (or something very similar) for my game.
I’ve been modifying the printed character sheets because they look nice, but a spreadsheet is so much more functional…
Just noticed that this is missing (at least) “hit the street” and “go under the knife”
Junk Addy Thanks, I’ll add it. If you see anything else please let me know.
Will do. I’ve got a similar sheet with a slightly different configuration and color scheme. When I’m done with that (and once I get player permission) I’ll share with you as well and we can see what works/doesn’t!

I really like some of the improvements! Especially the layout of the PC tab. Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for sharing yours! I had thought about the idea for a bit but couldn’t figure out how to make it work.
I’m still torn between using the google sheets version (I like that every can edit in real time) and the PDF notebook I have.
