Feature, Not a Bug- Season 2 of a Sandbox Cyberpunk Experience!
Cyberpunk Red | Campaign
About the adventure
Night City sees a regular turn over of edge runners- mercenary criminals who fight the secret wars from the broken streets to the high rise towers. Every year a new wave of gonks trying to make it big crops up, and only a few survive to become veterans of the trade. Thankfully, you're one of the lucky ones. Word on the street is that you're on your way to becoming a real player, and if you hook up with the right crew, play your cards right, and survive, you might just become an icon, someone the newbies look up to, a legend in your own time. At the very least if you fail you intend to burn out bright!
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.

Ross is all-around a good communicator. He's a very compassionate and accommodating GM who is always willing to work to give players what they want, he's a very good storyteller, and he's fun to chat with pre- or post-game as well. I look forward to his games every week and will definitely be playing in his games again after the current campaign is over.

Truly a masterful VtM DM. Weaved me into an ongoing story effortlessly and made me feel part of the world and the game immediately. Extremely responsive to player requests (I'm a chronic character tweaker). Also masterfully struck a balance between personal horror, action, and emotional stakes. If you have a chance to play in one of his games DO IT!

Had an awesome session testing the new cosmere rpg! Ross really brought the setting to life while also doing a great job of letting every player get their moment to shine. Highly recommended!

Ross is an absolutely perfect DM. We ran a one shot set in the Cosmere universe on the world of Roshar. It was a lot of fun. We ended up bonding our first sprens by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them.

Ross is a fantastic GM who always checks in and is happy to work with! When my schedule opens up I'd be glad to try and join another game!
Additional details
How to prepare
Watch Cyberpunk Edgerunners on Netflix, read some Gibson, and join the discord server to start conversations with your team. Free accounts for Discord and Forge VTT will be needed. A mic of sufficient quality is needed, camera is optional, and Foundry only runs on computers. No experience or purchase is necessary beyond the hardware necessary to play.
What I provide
We will be using my Foundry VTT license and Discord, so free accounts will be needed for both of those. I bring a variety of voices, a varied soundtrack, and a narrative first approach to the game- Rule of Cool is in play.
Gameplay details
All players will receive and fill out a consent checklist. We will handle character creation, hopefully before session 1 during a scheduled time. All players are starting with a significant amount of experience and money to upgrade their character, as you're established, skilled Edgerunners, not newbies.

How will character creation work
Character creation will be done in a 1 on 1 session with the GM, which will last long enough for players to create a character and advance them to a higher experience level. If a player is familiar with the system this should be quick and easy, but if a player needs more help or explanations I have no problem teaching hand over hand or making multiple appointments to make sure your character is perfect for you.
