Cyberpunk Red | Campaign

About the adventure

This is a Learn-To-Play campaign of the Cyberpunk RED game system. If you are a fan of Cyberpunk 2077, Blade Runner, Robocop, and similar medias, you'll find familiarity in this game and setting, though far from the whole scope of the city (not that we'll be that far reaching realistically). Within this system, you are able to integrate yourself into a cyberpunk world where you have Skills that you excel in, deep connections to the story and other characters, and violent combat that could flatline you if you're reckless, which you should be. This d10 system is wonderfully crafted into Foundry to help you with your Character Sheet every step of the way. Come become a legend in Night City! With this being aimed at beginners, there will be ample time dedicated to learning the game mechanics and rules to help us enjoy the game it's designed to be. ๐ŸŽฒ Foundry VTT will provide an efficient game play space including automatic DV scaling based on distance and more - so you can focus on looking cool and have fun!

Game style

Combat Heavy

โ€œCombat Heavyโ€ games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

Rules as Written (RaW)

Games that are ran โ€œRules as Writtenโ€ emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.

Playing with GM Ryan A on StartPlaying.games was an absolute blast! He is detail oriented and debriefs the players thoroughly during his preparation for the campaign as a GM before hand. His knowledge of the VTT & D&D rules was phenomenal and when blended with the "rule of cool" attitude, it made every decision feel exciting and impactful. The combat was cleverly designed, keeping us all on our toes. The VTT setup is one of the best I've seen. What truly stood out was how seamlessly I was integrated into the campaign having not been an original member โ€“ I felt like a valued part of the story from the beginning. Highly recommend for a engaging D&D experience!

Incredibly knowledgeable on the Cyberpunk Red world and system. Heโ€™s a good teacher of both the system and the Foundry VTT and supporting apps. His player base is welcoming.

Ryan is a great DM! I have been playing in one of his games for a while and I'm pretty happy with him as a DM and the group, always fostering a positive environment , his knowledge of the rules and the campaign is great and his style is well balanced, plenty of roleplay, combat and exploration on his sessions . Definitely recommended!

I wish I could pick more than three tags to describe Ryan, because he really checks so many boxes. He confirms the adage that you get what you pay for! He's one of the best DMs I've experienced in 30 years of playing TTRPGs.

Ryan is a DM who shows up prepared and allows his players a lot of freedom. I'd definitely sit at his table again.

Additional details

How to prepare

โญ Read over some of the instructions of the game through a community resource available below, or after joining, in the Google Doc providing everything you need. โญ Cyberpunk RED is a gritty, cyberpunk game where character death is expected. Bring with you a mindset of fun, crazy roleplaying situations, but don't expect to have your character live through the whole story, though you might be lucky to do so. Some core rules are below with a shortened official rulebook given after joining. Alternate Core Rules: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/GTfdEcccNB5K

What I provide

๐ŸŽฒ The GM will provide the module information, encounters, maps, music, ambience, sound effects, handouts, information, and all that's needed for a great session of online role-playing games. Your financial support allows me to give you my focus and priority through out the week, obtain better and more materials to better my GMing and your experience, and indirectly supports other players by helping me focus on this as my full time job. Thank you!

How will character creation work

๐Ÿ’ฅ We will utilize pre-made characters first. They will be used until either death or you feel comfortable making your own character. A character generator tool will be provided for optional convenience. ๐Ÿ’ฅ Utilize the Companion App for best character creation process. Then, I will import the characters to Foundry VTT. Companion App: https://cyberpunkred.com/#/ Use TEMPLATE for premades/first times, or FAST & DIRTY if you want more control. If you have previous Cyberpunk RED experience, you can make CALCULATED. ๐Ÿ’ฅ Cyberpunk RED offers great community support, some additional, 3rd party sources will be allowed/used for more exciting content. ๐Ÿ’ฅ We will discuss characters in session 0/1 and then anyone who joins afterward must schedule a 1-1 with me to meet and discuss that and the game.
