Cyberpunk Red: Rubble to Riches
20 years have gone and NC is rising from the fallout. Pick you iron, kill, claim, the streets are your for the taking! But you're not the only one!
About the adventure
“People call it the “The War of the Dragons”. Who would have thought that after the 4th Arasaka still has the power to fight another war on the Pacific. Arasaka, Kang Tao, Sungan, all of them at each other’s throats….looks like the Genpei war all over again.” “Here on our side of the world, we try to get by, plenty of work to do, NC is going on a massive rebuilding of the main island, but if you think it makes it safe, forget it choom… Its as violent as it gets, everyone is out get a piece of the city, gangers, fixer’s, corps, you name it… Corps just want things done, they don’t care who does it. Same rules apply in the underworld, someone always wants something fixed…you feel me?” *He points to the Coronado Bay area. * “Major influx of nomads by sea and land, that means new tech, new stories, new markets, new faces. We might have a giant crater in the middle of our city, but we are still down to do business, that’s how the free states roll.” “But if you fancy a little bit of night, the club scene is going up, there is a new pub, shack, standee or club opening and closing, lots of banger parties going down. Lots of biz going down those places. This is a freebie for you.” *Wraps an arm around you and winks* “We, are, thriving!” “Look here choom, this is the new city of opportunity, forget the glee and glamour of the 2020’s,the renaissance of the 2077’s, these are the 2040’s, build what you want, destroy what you want, city’s fresh for the taking, be a fucking pioneer, grab your gun stake your claim!” *The mangled city scape of Night City glows under the red glare of the sun setting behind it. Mangled rods of iron pierce the cloudy and sickly sky, construction sounds blaring all around. Av’s blinking in the darkening sky. The sounds of the Heywood favela to your side, the smell of desert and a taste of metal on the tip of your tongue. * “So? Are you game, or just skipping town? Because this is the place to be choom…” --William “Jaknife” Will-- I will run a cyberpunk campaign that see you an upstart edgerunner gutter rat in a post war rebuilding city in the dark future of cyberpunk, where the law gets grey, the moods bitter, but the night still glows with the crystal of blades or the glints of AP rounds flying through shattered cover, while the fixer is doing deals on the backroom of a club. Start a rat, climb to the top. I will provide a good experience for a group of people that are dynamic, easy going, not afraid to take initiative. Players actions matter, and the story flows around them and never ahead of them. I provide hooks and interactivity for your group as a whole and tailored to individual backstories. My GM style is real, things you do will have real consequences but I am not actively out to kill you. Fair to say night city may be if you give it reason to. I'm here to guide you through a well realized and immersive cyberpunk world. And remember that every player has is table, and every table has is player.

About me
The love for ttrpg's, creating narratives and tell stories was what brought me to roleplaying games as well as a deep love for sci-fi and the dark future of cyberpunk. I've been playing for two years and gm'ing for about one, and I'm looking to find other groups as well as improve my skills as a gamemaster and tell more stories and create cool narratives. I run cyberpunk red and I lean hard on the "post-apocalyptic" scarcity of the world as well as the filthy streets of Night City, where every action will have a reaction, and the players actions will shape the way the game goes and how the world interacts with them going forward. You grok? So if you are a Edgerunner choomba looking to go in a blaze of glory and leave you mark on Night City, my sandbox might be the game for you.

Rule of Cool
Rodrigo is a blast to play games with. He's creative, flexible, and extremely knowledgeable about the lore of the Cyberpunk universe. He's able to adapt to whatever roles and playstyles you have while making sure the game is fun, fair, and a great time. I strongly recommend him as a GM!
Been a banger of a GM so far, letting the group go through some big wins and losses so far. He's patient with newer players, but let's you feel the full impact of your characters decisions, and some of my early actions are still reverberating through the city he's running. I wholeheartedly recommend him as an excellent choice for some gritty stories, Cyberpunk or otherwise.
An excellent GM. I have been with Rodrigo since he was a player in the game I joined way back in the plague days. Shortly after, he stepped in to GM for us and we've had a long running game ever since. Welcoming and knowledgable, Rodrigo has continued to give us interesting challenges, has endeavoured to incorporate our character ideas as much as possible, and has been an absolute beast when playing our 'opposition', while at the same time revelling in our successes. Our game has a great atmosphere, and Rodrigo sets the mood very well with interesting npcs, visuals and music (though I do sometimes miss the old black and white line drawn maps lol). A top notch GM, would definitely recommend.
This guy knows his stuff. And on top of that he's hella passionate about the world. If you're into getting your hands dirty and finding creative ways to avoid the consequences, this is your GM. If you wanna throwdown in an underground lair of the Chinese Mafia? Same guy. Take advantage of your downtime because when the shite hits the fan, you're in it for sure. He knows the rules, but he lets rule of cool. He's great for beginners (that's what I was) and really helpful - not only when you first create your character, but when you're looking to improve them too. Also, if you got a game going on that needs another player, get this guy. He's real easy to play off of. Those are my two cents, choomba, now frak off.
Character creation
Creating your character
Players should have concepts in mind and we will go through it during session 0. After that when a character dies, we can setup a time and day to go through character creation, as much as I love the companion app I rather help the players in character creation.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Voice and webcam for discord, general knowledge of the rules of the game, general lore of the setting, creativity and will for roleplay and initiative!
What Rodrigo brings to the table
I will bring a fully functional foundry, music, tone, vibe and fair gm'ing to all players, and a immersive fully responsive world of cyberpunk for you to explore.
Homebrew rules
I have additional rolls for luck and cool, that can impact several actions you as the player can take, and that make these stats more useful, specially the luck one. I have a home rule that I dont allow internal/external frames at character creation, nor items that go above 1000 eddies. I rule the scarcity of the game world very seriously and some of the prices of items will vary from the ones stated in the book.
