C'mon, Choomba; Night City's Callin'!

Creating your character

When & Where We Create Characters We’ll build characters before Session 1. In Session 0, we’ll discuss character concepts, roles, and how your crew fits together. You’ll submit your character before the first session so I can review and incorporate your story into the world. Character Roles Choose from Cyberpunk RED’s ten roles: Rockerboy, Solo, Netrunner, Tech, Medtech, Media, Exec, Fixer, Lawman, Nomad If you’re unsure, I can help you find a role that fits your playstyle. Lifepath & Backstory We’ll go through the Lifepath system to create unique, fleshed-out characters. You’ll need at least a brief backstory explaining who your character is, what drives them, and how they survive in Night City. I encourage character connections—whether you’re old friends, rivals, or just a crew thrown together by circumstance. Stats & Gear Stats are generated using the Streetrat or Edgerunner methods (we’ll decide in Session 0). Starting Cyberware & Gear: You’ll have some cyberware and weapons based on your role. We’ll discuss specifics in Session 0.

Preparing for the session

✅ Join the Discord Server and test your mic. ✅ Download the Cyberpunk RED Companion App and create an account. ✅ Familiarize yourself with Owlbear Rodeo (it’s easy, I promise!). ✅ Read over the Cyberpunk RED rules (optional but helpful).

Upgrade wisely. 🔥 A Brutal But Fair GM – I won’t pull punches, but I won’t screw you over unfairly. If you play smart, you’ll survive. If you play bold, you might just become a legend.

How Nuggy creates a safe table

Safety Tools & Player Well-being Cyberpunk stories explore dark, mature themes, but we want to keep the game fun for everyone. Session 0: Setting Boundaries & Expectations We’ll discuss Lines & Veils to ensure everyone is comfortable. I’ll send a Lines & Veils document for you to fill out anonymously. We’ll cover the game’s tone, intensity, and player expectations. X, N, & O Cards (During Play) X (Stop Immediately) – If something crosses a line, say “X” or message me privately. We move on, no questions asked. N (Pause & Adjust) – If something is uncomfortable but can continue with tweaks, say “N.” O (All Good) – If we check in, say “O” to confirm you’re comfortable. Aftercare & Check-ins Stars & Wishes – After each session, we’ll discuss what you enjoyed and what you’d like more of. Private Check-ins – If something in-game bothered you, you can message me anytime.
