About the adventure
Congratulations on leaving behind the life of freelance miscellany and joining BioTechnica as a provisional part time external agent! I am Mr. Johnson, your new Corporate Intermediary. You have all been assigned to small teams with complimentary specializations and will be assigned various tasks on a per-project payscale with the luxury of maximum operational prerogative. As long as the task is completed, the company recieves any deliverables, your methodology will not be questioneed. - Participate in inter-corporate communications, off-site visits to foster team camaraderie in a chaotic space, as well as data aquisition and redistribution.* - Assist in recovery of organic prototypes that preferentially would be under direct observation in a controlled environ.* - Facilitate concrete and actionable plans between hyper-local community subgroups that have been observed to have difficulty finding amicable resolutions.* *With guns. This Cyberpunk Red campaign will see you put into a corporate team (with the associated extra funding included in the 'sell your soul' option during character creation. You'll be a mercenary team that does jobs for BioTechnica as assigned, but you will probably choose to find your own jobs for the majority of missions in between those the company wants. This is a heavy roleplay focused campaign which will be explicity anti-capitalist and transhumanist (y'know, cyberpunk). Sign up today and we'll have you Edgerunning in no time!

About me
Hello all, I'm Alebrelle! I am a queer trans autistic leftist who has been doing tabletop of various flavors and intensities for just around 30 years now. My *FIRST* first game was (very badly) running the AD&D Box Set for my sister in 7th grade. My first campaign as a player was Shadowrun 2e in 10th grade. TTRPGs has been one of my longest standing special interests, and so I have a very deep and broad experience, LARPs, horror, fantasy, wire-fu, comedy, romance, cyberpunk, I've seen a bit of it, or a lot. I love making, crafting, and if I were a trust fund baby I'd probably play tabletop games nearly continuously. There's enough out there to feed the habit. I have some small voice over experience, I have run games for long time friends, and at conventions tables up to 8 folks at once. I am a content creator on various platforms, and if you want to record our sessions and post them somewhere ask me about it. If you want *me* to produce, record, and edit them; we can do that too. Just ask, I'm sure we can work something out! My games list below is *far* from extensive, I kept it limited to meeting at least one of these criteria: 1) Played more than one session of, 2) GM'd a campaign, or 3) Read the sourcebook cover-to-cover in prep for GMing a game that never came together. While I have my favorite stuff to run (most anything Powered by the Apocalypse, thank you Vincent & Meguey Baker), I think I have a grasp on most any genre enough to run a game. If you have something niche or particular please reach out directly and we can talk about it and see if I can give you the game noone else has. Which, to be honest, tends to be my goal even with games you've played for years: Give you the best game possible.

Creating your character
Any of the 3 methods outlined in the sourcebook are perfectly fine, but players are encouraged to use the standard point buy system with the additional 1800 eb for corporate sponsorship. Can help fully with this step.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
-Cyberpunk Red is pretty easy for a beginner to pick up on the fly, and main mechanics will be explained in Session 0. -Play will take place in a Discord server that I will give you an invite to quickly after you join, please have the software downloaded on your hardware of choice. -A stable internet connection is expected. -Some way to generate d6s, your own dice are fine, as is a digital tool. -A microphone of reasonable quality and without a *lot* of noise is expected. If you play in a room full of other people conversing or watching tv loudly (and that can be heard) you will be asked to remedy that, and if unable you will be requested to leave the table. -A webcam is preferred as this is a heavy RP game and human interaction is best face to face, but is not mandatory.
What Alebrelle brings to the table
I will be providing: -The Discord server we play on -Supplemental art of locations, a few maps, and NPCs. -All materials will be digital and players welcome to keep on their own. -Home studio quality sound and lighting. -Some small voice work and characterization for NPCs -A player-focused GM style -Professional and courteous interaction for in and out of game interactions (As human GM, *not* as in-game NPCs)

Safety
How Alebrelle creates a safe table
Hi! A review of safety tools: We'll be using Monty Cook's checklist to serve as our lines and veils, which is rather self explanatory but we can go over it if this is your first time with the concept. You can download that here: https://www.montecookgames.com/store/product/consent-in-gaming/# I will hand the file out directly if anyone is missing it by Session 0 (which we'll cover last in this section.) Instead of XNO cards we will be playing with the original X card: A safeword. "Red" is my default, but we'll discuss that and agree on that. It is more easily *immediately* reacted to and close to impossible to miss if someone says it a couple times. We will have a cooldown period of review and discussion after each session where we can discuss the high and low points of the game, decompress anything necessary, and especially give me as the GM feedback on where the game should head. * There will be cursing. * There will be blood. (Great movie, too.) No experience necessary to join, the system itself is relatively simple. All player materials (which is honestly just your character sheet and and a few pages of relevant rules) will be provided in PDF format. Bring your own d6s, or a way to simulate that, there are many
