About the adventure

The year is 2045. The world is still reeling from the Fourth Corporate War, and Night City is a fractured, dangerous sprawl of neon and nightmares. The old world burned, leaving behind a city of desperate survivors, ruthless mercenaries, and ambitious dreamers clawing their way to the top—or just struggling to see another day. Mega-corps are rising from the ashes, gangs own the streets, and tech is the only thing keeping some people alive. The DataKrash erased history, the Blackwall divides meatspace from digital ghosts, and in this city, power is everything. You? You’re just trying to survive. Maybe you’re here to get rich, make a name, or tear down the system one bullet at a time. Whatever your reason, you’ve got skills, cyberware, and a will to live. Now, all you need is a crew. Welcome to Night City. Try not to flatline.

Game style

Combat Heavy

“Combat Heavy” 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 “Rules as Written” 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.

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.

How will character creation work

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. Starting Cyberware & Gear: You’ll have some cyberware and weapons based on your role.
