Roll the Dice, Raise the Stakes, and Learn to Play Cyberpunk Red
A new frontier is opened as a non-profit, corporations, mercenaries, and even a cowboy fight for control of Neo Vegas in 2063!
About the adventure
20 years ago, Las Vegas was an ecological waste land- between the climate disaster that sunbleached much of the U.S. that was and the nuke that detonated in nearby Night City. Now, thanks to a seemingly benevolent profit and a boat load of spent eurodollars, Neo Vegas isn't much to write home about, but the beer is cold, the stakes are high, and a edgerunner mercenary can always find work. Will you work for the New Dawn nonprofit to help rebuild, help the little people, and build something out of the unforgiving west, or will you sign on with any of the dozen of corporations looking to tame this frontier and assert their brand of control over the budding city? Will you leave a legacy of negotiations, high tech sabotage, and stealth, or a bloody bullet casing trail of destruction that breaks the chains that threaten to bind the future of the city? Up to you, Gonk, but you live fast and die faster under the neon lights of this modern day Babylon, so you better get moving. This is a learn to play campaign for experienced hands and greenhorns alike, so all are welcome!

About me
I've been GM-ing role playing games as long as I've been playing them, going back all the way to ye olde 3.5e days when I was the first in my group to read the Dungeon Master's Guide. Two decades later and this forever DM is ready to share that experience with the world. I've earned my stripes in everything from White Wolf's Storyteller system to several editions and renditions of the DnD formula to the fast and dirty combat of the Shadowrun universe. Multiple campaigns have run to high levels under my stewardship, so you know when you book with me that I'm in it for the long haul. As a neurodivergent person living with a disability, I value the space for creativity and expression that roleplaying games allow for, and I want to give the chance to experience it to everyone. I pride myself on running an inclusive table, and I am a firm believer that neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, disabled, and minority voices enrich the experience for everyone. My email and discord accounts are responsive and checked daily, and I'm always excited to plan character progression, work on background inclusion, or talk mechanics whether you're brand new to the system or an experienced hand. Proudly AI image free, and proud of SP.G, myself, and my community of patrons for donating over $1000 dollars to charities for the disenfranchised, for victims, and to provide better tomorrows for a diverse range of people!

Ross is a DM I have been a player for before and I cannot recommend him enough. He does fantastic world-building, is good rolling with the punches and coming up with situations and responses on the fly and is very keen on player feedback and creativity. If you want a good mix of roleplaying and combat, along with a strong foundation of worldbuilding, Ross is the GM for you.

I’m now entering my second game with Ross as a professional DM, and it has been absolutely fantastic. The way he runs games is complex and exciting. He can keep the big picture clear and moving without sacrificing any of the in-the-moment fun and he easily adjusts his plans based on player actions. I always imagine this takes a ton of planning, but I can never tell what was planned and what was improvised. Everything is smooth, every session is a blast, and I honestly struggle thinking of any criticisms. I’m not letting go of Ross any time soon, so expect at least one game to always have a seat filled!

Had an awesome session testing the new cosmere rpg! Ross really brought the setting to life while also doing a great job of letting every player get their moment to shine. Highly recommended!

Truly a masterful VtM DM. Weaved me into an ongoing story effortlessly and made me feel part of the world and the game immediately. Extremely responsive to player requests (I'm a chronic character tweaker). Also masterfully struck a balance between personal horror, action, and emotional stakes. If you have a chance to play in one of his games DO IT! I will also add I just finished a session in their Werewolf game and as someone who has been playing WoD for 20+ years it was the funnest session of werewolf I have experienced in my life and one of the best rpg sessions I’ve ever experienced period.
Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation will be done in a 1 on 1 session with the GM, which will last long enough for players to create a character and learn the basics of it. If a player is familiar with the system this should be quick and easy, but if a player needs more help or explanations I have no problem teaching hand over hand or making multiple appointments to make sure your character is perfect for you. If players want to create a character early with or without my help they may, but we will move at the rate of the newest player, even if it means making characters in session 0.
All players who participate for 3 months can receive a custom miniature of their character at shipping cost, printed by me as a thank you for your patronage.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Watch Cyberpunk Edgerunners on Netflix, read some Gibson, and join the discord server to start conversations with your team. Free accounts for Discord, Demiplane, and Roll 20 will be needed. A mic of sufficient quality is needed, camera is optional. No experience or purchase is necessary beyond the hardware necessary to play, I will supply all needed book access on Demiplane.
What Ross brings to the table
We will be using my Roll20, Demiplane, and Discord, so free accounts will be needed for both of those. I bring a variety of voices, a varied soundtrack and sound effects, and a narrative first approach to the game- Rule of Cool is in play.

Safety
How Ross creates a safe table
All players will receive and fill out a consent checklist. We will handle character creation, hopefully before session 1 during a scheduled time. Safety tools are in play- you're paying for a great experience, not to be hurt or feel unsafe.
