About the adventure

βš”οΈ Fight Clowns 🀑 πŸ•΅πŸ½ Unravel a Mystery 🧠 πŸ€‘ Make Hard Choices πŸ«€ 🌈 Friendly & inclusive GM πŸ€ͺ πŸ“š Teach new players πŸŽ“ The Bozos finally took a joke too far! I really pissed off the Maelstrom and now they're at war with each other. Night City is reeling from the death and carnage. People are angry and protesting these chromed out maniacs. CYBERPUNK RED Its the Time of the Red (2045). Man has merged with machine creating cyber-enhanced human, people connect their brains directly to computers but they've lost connection with each other. Mega-corps control the government, exploit workers, and destroy the environment. Yet us poor chooms are expected to be grateful living off their scraps! We tell those corpos to stuffit! We forge our own path! We're edgerunners!

Game style

Rule of Cool (RoC)

β€œRule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Roleplay Heavy

β€œRoleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

Recruiting notes

πŸŽ“ Teach New Players πŸ“š Game Materials Provided 🎭 Customize Character Creation Prior to Game Time About the Crew: Kenny (Nomad/ Media) is serious and generally levelheaded. Kenny is good at investigation and tech skills. Apollo (Medtech/ Tech) is efficient and tactical. Apollo can fix pretty anything that is broken. Lilith (Fixer/ Exec) is equally eager to make money and kill. Lilith is a Demonique exotic and a member of Maelstrom. Gen Null (Rocker/ Solo) is stylish and adds flair to anything she does. Gen Null puts on a good show both on and off the stage. Overall, the crew is RP heavy and will talk their way out of fights sometime. They tend to be focused on the job but can be chaotic at times. There is a tendency to try and do a little good for the city (oftentimes Lilith reluctantly goes along with it). The crew could use a reliable netrunner. Another tech is always helpful because techs never run out of projects. A lawman (reskinned as a nomad or Maelstrom) could be useful for the group. Our nomad uses land vehicles so an air vehicle focused nomad could bring something to the table. A solo could fit in but the group is already combat hardened so a purely combat focused solo is not needed.

Having never really played any TTRPG, I was made to feel really welcome in Tracy's games. Not only by him, but by the other players as well, which I think says a lot about the DM as well. Every game seems thoroughly thought out and planned, but Tracy always seems ready for anything the players decide to do when the game is in motion.

iv being in Tracy's Thursday cyberpunk game for a couple of months now a boy I would defiantly recommend him he is awesome he always allows his players to go about things the way they want for cool factor and he knows the rules like the back of his hand which makes it much easier for newbies to a game system one of my favourite things in the game I'm in he dose is put on voices for the npcs that make the game feal more alive and interesting so if your looking for a dm pleases do give Tracy a try I promise you you'll have a blast I certainly do ever week and cant wait for the next session so can you if you just give him a try.

How to prepare

Before playing, you will need: βœ” Mic βœ” Discord account (free) βœ” Roll20 account (free) βœ” Webcam is a plus When playing, you do not need: ❌ Physical dice ❌ Physical character sheet

What I provide

βœ… Safe & Inclusive space βœ… GM dressed in goofy costumes βœ… A world that changes from your actions βœ… Wealth of experience teaching new players βœ… Detailed maps & tokens

Gameplay details

The campaign will begin with a session zero where we will introduce ourselves and then talk about safety tools, player preferences, my GM style, the campaign setting, and introduce characters. Anytime a player joins after session zero, I will discuss safety tools, my GM style, and campaign setting with them one-on-one. Then we will do introductions, lines & veils, and character introductions as a group during the new player's first session. The world of Cyberpunk and the life of edgerunners in particular revolves around a gig economy. But that doesn't mean there won't be a larger campaign story arch. It just means that as you move from job to job you'll have to keep your eyes open or you'll be blindsided by things that have been brewing. The jobs you take, the choices you make, and your decisions will change the course of Night City. Hopefully you make good choices.

How will character creation work

Character creation will take place in my Discord server (link is in Prep Material after you sign up). Please come with an idea of the type of character you would like to play. Do you want to be big & strong? Smart & educated? Clever & Fast? All you need is a general idea and I can guide you or offer a premade character that fits. For character creation you may: βœ… Make your own character from scratch βœ… Work with me to create an original character βœ… Select a pre-generated character πŸ›‘ Backup characters are advised since Cyberpunk Red can be very deadly NOTE: If for any reason we cannot setup a character for you by game time then you will need to use either a pre-gen character or a NPC temporarily. In order to avoid this please sign up at least 24 hours before a session so that we have time to get your character setup.
