About the adventure
Flashing neon advertisements. Corporate warfare. Streetfights, dirty cops, and dirtier slums. Toss in a few flashy sports cars and synthetic meat, and youâve stepped into the glimmering jewel of this new Cyberpunk future: Night City. Recent years have seen massive corporate paychecks on the rise while homelessness, poverty, and violence from a variety of gangs in the city has also been rising at almost double the rate. In distressing times like these, folks cough up what little money they have to enlist the services of mercenaries called Edgerunners to help them out of the dire straits Night City always seems to force on its citizens. Of course, corporate higher-ups are always looking for capable runners to do their dirty work for them and their payouts are something most people would kill for - or die for. Thatâs where you come in. ----- The year is 2045. The current mayor, Trinity Bertrand, is all over the news trying to get her polling numbers up by announcing the rebuilding of several destroyed combat zones in the city. Youâre in your run-down apartment cleaning the grime off your shoes from the last gig when your phone lights up. You check the contact. Your fixer. Jobmaker. Bread-getter. You open the message. âyou seen bertrand on TV?â You reply, âhard to miss herâ âno need for a lengthy intro then. sheâs waiting for you in kenjiâs place - back officeâ âthe mayor brought her corpo self all the way out to that sweat lodge?â âclosest place to all of you - looks like youâve finally got your shot at a real Edgerunner gig kid, shiny new team and everything. donât go blowinâ it by callinâ her things like that - not a fan of implicationâ You click your phone off and tuck your hands in your pockets before throwing back on your half-cleaned kicks. Why bother, right? Youâre about to get dirty all over again. ----- Cyberpunk: Tales From the Red are a series of episodic, comic-book style stories following you and your crew. Once youâre locked, loaded, and ready to ride, youâll sail through these tales as you learn more about your crew, about Night City, and about yourself. This is a long term campaign set in the Dark Future of Cyberpunk and uses the rules of the Cyberpunk RED d10 system, with the potential of expanding into a longer campaign per player request.

About me
ABOUT ME: Iâm a 27 year old writer working out of North Carolina. Before that, I used to fix helicopters - but, Iâve found that being a professional GM suits me a lot better. Unfortunately, thereâs no creative outlet in helicopter maintenance. I like to think that it's really the extensive theatre and writing backgrounds I cultivated in my youth that draw me here. I enjoy reading, video games, and getting lost in a sea of YouTube recommendations long past my bedtime. I have four brothers, one sibling, and two sisters scattered in various parts of the country. Sometimes, we used to keep in touch by playing World of Warcraft together*. *Please donât ask me anything about the game, I was 11 and very bad. Please please donât. I will only disappoint you. ABOUT MY GAMES: Iâm a huge gamer, particularly a fan of RPGs, open-worlds(not the AAA gaming studio version of âopen worldâ)/sandboxes, and choices-matter type of gameplay. All of this influences the types of games I build and the stories I help players tell. Rescued the prince but not his lover? When he takes the throne, heâll seek vengeance. Rescued them both? 100 years of peace. Neither? A war begins. Or perhaps youâve thought of another way? In essence, I want to have the player respond to the world and the world respond to the player. If any of this sounds like an energy youâd like to have in your GM, reach out to me on Discord to set up a table or to join any open seats in a public table.

Creating your character
We will first discuss safety, then talk over game rules and how-to, followed by a short VTT lesson, and finally finishing up with character creation. The creation process is fairly in-depth, so you should walk out with a decent understanding of your character, their skills and stats, and their place in the Night City food chain. I do not expect players to come to the table with knowledge of the game beforehand, but its always appreciated.
Every Saturday at 11AM PST/2PM EDT Join the Discord here: https://discord.gg/Fr2h7q39J7 Happy gaming!

How Kenzie the Hahn creates a safe table
During Session 0, we'll go over all rules, how-to's, character sheets, and general expectations. Throughout the Tales, we'll become more acclimated to the rules and general flow of the game. At some point, the narrative will shift from episodic tales to progressive campaign as the party comes into their own right as Edgerunners. I will provide: - links to any and all necessary resources and documents - access to and a thorough basic tutorial for Foundry VTT - beautiful maps, animated assets, and over 6 GB of music and SFX - campaign refresher/lines & veils/safety surveys - access to and a tutorial for any and all included safety tools - templates for character sheets and biography examples - time prior to the game to ease back into the world - 15 min of pure aftercare/debriefing following each session NOTE: The vast majority of material included in the Cyberpunk future is deeply violent, unfeeling, graphic, and dark. Safety tools and active discussions of consent will be ongoing throughout the campaign and great emphasis will be placed on the feelings of player safety. This game is set in a grim future to give players a landscape to explore the darker parts of humanity and how one retains humanity in a world becoming increasingly less human. It is not a platform for people hide within dark themes and environment of Night City in order to get away with depraved actions that might otherwise not be acceptable in other settings.
