Death of the NEON KNIGHTS | Cybernoire Superheroes vs Zombies
Cypher System | Campaign
About the adventure
-> TLDR: This campaign follows low-level superheroes who struggle to survive and uncover the truth behind a deadly plague in a neon-drenched cyberpunk future. It is ideal for players who enjoy intense character-driven drama, high-stakes action, and a world where the undead are just one of many threats lurking in the shadows. -> Experience a world where the skyline is a neon blur, the streets are slick with rain and blood, and the dead don’t stay dead. As towering megacorporations wage war in the boardrooms and masked vigilantes fight in the gutters, a terrifying plague spreads like wildfire, turning the city into a battlefield of the living and the infected. You are not the strongest, nor the most powerful, but in a world spiraling into chaos, you may be the only ones who can make a difference—if you survive long enough to try. -> What to expect as a player: ♦️ Build your hero with a dynamic lifepath system, forging a past that shapes your future. ♦️ Investigate a world filled with corporate conspiracies, underground factions, and deadly secrets. ♦️ Face pulse-pounding combat against the infected, rival supers, and cyber-enhanced assassins. ♦️ Explore a handcrafted cyberpunk city where every district holds danger and opportunity. ♦️ Experience deep character drama as your team wrestles with personal demons, shifting loyalties, and the weight of heroism in a world that doesn’t care. -> This campaign will focus on the desperate struggle between survival and heroism in a city on the edge of collapse. As you uncover the origins of the plague, navigate treacherous alliances, and battle enemies both living and dead, every choice will shape the future. In a world where justice is for sale and power is hoarded by the few, what kind of hero will you become?
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay 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.
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule 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.

Gameplay details
Players can expect heavy amounts of roleplay in many different situations and encounters. NPCs will be inclusive, varied, and engaging to interact with. Many will be romanceable if interested. During session zero we will discuss the origins of our characters. Their mechanic and narrative links to NPCs and locations as they enter the open world. This game will be run using Foundry VTT. This simple and versatile platform lends itself well to the improv-heavy, sandbox-style game I enjoy running. This, combined with Theater of the Mind, ensures total and complete freedom for the players, as anywhere they want to go can be drawn on the map and performed. To ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all players, I use the following safety tools: ✅ A consent form all members of the group must complete. This will determine Lines & Veils ✅ Session zero to discuss concerns, boundaries, and themes before the game begins ✅ At least one 10-15 minute break in the middle of the session ✅ Open door policy. Contact me any time with questions or concerns ✅ In games of darker themes I enjoy running loose and humorous games when possible. The object of the game is to have fun. ___ -> What a player will experience in this Campaign | Rating out of five skulls | Roleplaying - 💀💀💀💀💀 Politics - 💀💀💀💀 Exploration - 💀💀💀 Tactics/Combat - 💀💀 Puzzles - 💀 RATING: R For intense, brutal violence and descriptions of body horror.
