Cyberpunk Red | Campaign

About the adventure

Want to play Cyberpunk Red but don't know how? It's okay. I provide a game where you don't have to know everything to play. You jump in and have fun in the world of Cyberpunk and learn as you go. You just arrived in the neon-lit mean streets of Night City. Before you even have a chance to find a place to crash you have a job. It could be dangerous. In fact, it is definitely dangerous but you better take it or you'll be sleeping in the gutter and that's no way to live. Besides, you came to Night City to make a name for yourself. This game is for beginners but all are welcome.

Game style

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.

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.

Recruiting notes

Play in a campaign with a storyline but be free to tell it how you want. My GM style is heavily influenced by games like Mass Effect, Cyberpunk 2077, and Baldur's Gate. I like setting the scene and having players decide what to do. The cool thing about TTRPGS is that nothing is preprogrammed, so use those off-the-wall ideas to survive. There is a session 0 before the game to discuss character creation and gameplay style. This game focuses heavily on role-playing and features moderate combat. Each session introduces new tasks and chances to pursue your character's objectives. If you have any questions about character creation contact me here on Start Playing or Discord https://discord.gg/WbqUNMbpNz
