Cyberpunk 2099

Creating your character

I'm still relatively new to the system but I figure we will start at starting level (i'm good with whichever build you choose to start in terms of Streetrat, Edgerunner, or Custom) and starting with a Session Zero to help make the characters and Lifepath stuff. This way all the players can coordinate their Roles and backstories with both me and each other.

Preparing for the session

Webcam and/or Mic are required as we will be playing over Discord. The Beyond20 browser extension will be needed if you do not own physical dice. If you DO own physical dice then make sure you can either take photos of your results (really only in the beginning and/or for Critical hits) or have a webcam setup to where you can confirm your rolls. Physical character sheets aren't a requirement (and the editable PDF sheets will be accessible), but will be encouraged same with Notebooks. Character creation will be done during session Zero ideally but I would encourage players to have at least an idea of what you want to play and maybe some idea of a backstory if you aren't willing to roll for it. Since music is such a big thing in 2077, I ran a campaign where the players to pick 5 of their favorite songs (either current or All-time favs). This has been incredibly useful for helping players plan their PCs backstory as well as helpful for me planning with Gigs and backstory arcs..

What Justin (NerdyChicArt Games) brings to the table

I will have both physical dice and Roll20 operating on the server, I will be making images of your characters (commissions are appreciated and the more the commission the more incentive) to start off for combat encounters post Session Zero with the intent for full character art shortly after depending on other factors. I am currently fairly maps lite right now so do not worry about needing maps of your own. I'll be using Photoshop to move characters and deleting enemies during combat as well.

Homebrew rules

As this takes place 20 years after the events of 2077, there will be more opportunities for Homebrewing. Firstly, mainstats have the chance to increase up to 20, but only the stats from 2077 (REF,BODY, TECH, INT, COOL), but the other 5 (DEX, LUCK,MOVE, EMP, WILL) can be increased up to 10. The costs of these increases are much higher though. I am more than happy to make iconics items of my own making so if you have an idea of something we can collab on something (within reason mind you).

How Justin (NerdyChicArt Games) creates a safe table

Players should expect a less than traditional take of the Dark Futures universe. While I aim to stay true to the world created, my GM style tends to lean more toward light-hearted comedy, but with characters/events that will still hit you right in your feels like any iteration of Cyberpunk would. Roleplay isn't expected to be a constant, but definitely encouraged and optimization isn't the priority. Having said that, expect a level of combat that feels like you are in the center of your favorite action movie/series/anime so while experts or intermediate players are encouraged, ALL levels of skill/expeirencel are welcome. Puzzles and Riddles are low but not non-existent, but it's usually more about worldbuilding and the mysteries around the setting. I welcome players of any skill level to my table so long as they are willing to be organized, flexible with their learning styles, and can work/get-along well with others.
