The Forlorn Hope: A Cyberpunk Story
Cyberpunk Red | Campaign
About the adventure
A New Dawn in the Combat Zone In the neon-drenched heart of Night City, the Forlorn Hope, a legendary bar and haven for edgerunners, lies in ruins. But hope, like a phoenix, rises from the ashes. You and your crew are the spark that will ignite the rebirth of this iconic establishment. Embark on a thrilling adventure through the dangerous streets of Night City. Face off against rival gangs, corrupt corporations, and mysterious forces that seek to control the city's destiny. Unravel the secrets of the Forlorn Hope's destruction and work to restore it to its former glory. This campaign is for players who crave gritty, cyberpunk action, complex characters, and a world filled with danger and opportunity. Whether you're a seasoned roleplayer or a newcomer to Cyberpunk Red, Hope Reborn offers a unique and immersive experience that will test your skills and challenge your morality.
Upon joining game, players will see a Discord link under prep materials. Once joining Discord server, myself or one of my mods will walk you to through getting added to the game chat for the game you have joined. VTT access and character creation will be done as a group in session 0, so that the party can be built as a group and we can find fun ways to link characters. Characters will be made using the Complete Package (Calculated) system with rolls on tables. Lifepath tables will be rolled on, not picked and choose. In my experience this leads to wonderfully diverse characters who are one of a kind and prompts players to create amazing back stories. Ive done this with a lot of different games and systems, and in my experience it leads to a great game and experience for everyone. Players joining a game after session 0 will have 1-on-1 paid session 0 with me to catch you up on the story, the party, variant rules being used, and help making a character and find a good way for them to be brought into the story that you are happy about.

Additional details
How to prepare
Discord, and a working microphone.
What I provide
VTT with player access at all times. I used a voice changer for more otherworldly voices, and I try my hand at character voices for the rest. I have catered music for every game, and players will be able to make requests of music for character moments. Players can expect tactical and immersive combat, as well as deep RP.
Gameplay details
All players will fill out a Lines and Veils sheet, and I will work with that for the campaign development. During Session 0 we will discuss Lines and Veils, along with X card safety tools. Witcher is a Grimdark fantasy setting, and as such does have some prejudice between races, namely humans and elves, but player characters will not be among the people who do or believe in that, and it will only be used as a way to show negative qualities among the people who believe/think that way.
