Ticket To The Afterlife | A Deep-Immersion, High-RP Experience

Creating your character

In addition to setting table norms and expectations for the campaign, each player will sit for a Session 0 which will walk through the FoundryVTT interface, the wider array of potentially-useful gear, before providing time for players to create their characters using the Complete Package ruleset found within the Cyberpunk RED Core Rulebook. With the exception of weapon silencers, all official DLC will be supported upon request. Players will always begin the campaign using this creation method, regardless of the campaign's current place. New RED characters are already quite competent, so start from the bottom, and work your way up!

Preparing for the session

Start by signing up for the game here; once you have, we can connect on Discord to introduce ourselves and perform a mic check. There, I'll provide you further details about the game, including a URL to the always-online server where we'll be playing, and access to the Discord server where the game sessions will be organized and run. Prior to session 0, a new player should familiarize themselves with the core rulebook if they haven't already, and optionally, look over the wide array of available DLC. Most of it is freely available through the publisher website; that which isn't, I own and will provide access to as asked.

What Prometheus (Zim) brings to the table

I utilize a tightly-modified, highly automated Foundry environment for my games, alongside the Night City Gang & Corp Mook Pack, a RED-specific enemy and homebrew compendium of my own creation. My Foundry environment is lightly scripted as is typical within the system, allowing quick access to armor ablation, ammunition tracking, weapon damage applications, IP and cash expenditures, and more. I have a private selection of both ambient and combat music to help bring scenes to life, and every encounter in the campaign has a unique, custom map designed especially for it. This is in addition to visual and sound effects for most weapons, adding further immersion to the experience. Expect intense, lethal combat, a wide array of interesting and varied characters and voices, and a general malleability towards player action, all wrapped in the themes of scarcity, power, and individualism that Cyberpunk has always been known for. I do whatever I can to help players achieve the experiences they set out to try for - or die trying.

Homebrew rules

My RED tables allow for a considerable selection of well-curated custom gear, as well as a wide array of buffs to existing weapons and mechanics designed to facilitate a wider array of much more lethal and faster-paced play styles. This includes new martial arts, improvements to many sub-standard weapons and armor types, a fashion system overhaul, a simplified and streamlined net running system, and much, much more.

How Prometheus (Zim) creates a safe table

Over the years I've tested many safety systems, but have always stuck to two core pillars which have lasted me through to this day. They are: * Lines and Veils: Perhaps the most popular tabletop safety tool that exists today, part of session 0 will be spent covering the lines and veils that I anticipate encountering (or not), while also providing you the opportunity to share any that aren't covered, either in the group setting or privately. This documentation will also cover policies towards things like in-game romance between characters, and inter-party conflicts. * Call A Pause, Call A Skip: No context is needed, no follow-up required - at any time a player may request a pause or a skip in the content, whether they're uncomfortable, tired, or just need to take a break to stretch. I will also call at least one pause every session, usually around 10-15 minutes, typically around the halfway point. I also offer occasional debriefs and check-ins throughout a campaign, as needed. And of course, players can reach out to me at any time, safe in the knowledge that any issues or feedback will be kept safe, anonymous, and immediately addressed to the best of my ability as a veteran GM. I've pretty much seen it all and dealt with more at this point, so you can rest assured that I'll handle any issues calmly, maturely, and quickly.
