Tales from the Forlorn Hope, subtitled, Eight Adventures for Cyberpunk, is an adventurebook for Cyberpunk 2020, focusing on the fictitious bar, the Forlorn Hope, and its many patrons, who all have many interesting stories to tell.
The adventures in this book are not connected and are meant to serve as war-stories from the grizzled veterans that patronize the bar. The book features a segment from the Solo of Fortune magazine as well as a history of the bar and biographies on the various characters within.
