About the adventure
Cyberpunk. More and more everyday, the real world seems to be slipping further into this dystopian nightmare. What a more gritty and perfect setting for your next TTRPG game! Have you ever wanted to live out the Edgerunner dream? Take down corpos, flatline chromed out goons, and make stacks and stacks of eddies! You just need to be willing to fight for it. Night City is calling you. The city of dreams...what a remarkable lie that is. Oh you can dream, but that doesn't mean you're going to get what you want. The path to success in this place is usually slick with the blood and smelling of coolant and oil, the streets paved with the bodies of those who tried to get in your way. This campaign will take place in 2078, one year after the events of Cyberpunk 2077. V is gone, Arasaka still reigns, and the world is still as dark and gritty as you could ever want. But this time, it's YOUR chance to etch your name into history. You and your little gang of new mercs are trying to edge your way into the bigger leagues. But first, you gotta start making some good impressions! This game is open to everyone who wants to experience the Cyberpunk RED system! Whether you are a beginner or a pro, you are invited to come and live the Edgerunner dream! No need for your own materials, DM has you covered! So what are you waiting for? Lets make it happen!

About me
"Now please, pay attention as I paint this picture for you, and lead you to a world beyond the Fey Horizon...." I'm Skyler! (he/him) and I'm what I like to call a flexible GM. While I started off heavily inspired by the Critical Role streams, which opened my eyes to the incredible story telling potential of D&D and TTRPG's in general, I have since over the years evolved my own style, mixing narrative focus with both combat and social counters that allow players to highlight their unique attributes. While I tend stick very closely to the rules, I try very hard to allow players to have their moments to shine, creating story beats and side missions that focus on either their stories or will in some way highlight their particular class and interests as both a character and player. I GM stories based in my own world of Tey'lira, and have a website where I keep most of my worldbuilding information catalogued and organized, along with a Discord server where other players and GM's gather to play and explore the possibilities of my world and tell their own stories. It is a very living and breathing world that changes with each story told, where players have made drastic changes by introducing new organizations, religions, Gods, and other entities previously unknown to my world, and it's that kind of collaborative experience that I enjoy the most about this hobby. I have hosted games in all kinds of genres, from fantasy to sci-fi to steampunk. D&D 5E is my focus, but I also am dabbling in Cyberpunk RED and may host games for that system in the future.

Creating your character
Come with ideas, but be ready to collaborate. As a narrative DM, the goal will be to help create a team of Edgerunners who work together. We'll have a free session zero to work out goals and wants, and then before we start, I'll work with each player to create a character from the ground up.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a mic and Discord. Webcam is not required, but highly encouraged. Please come to the first official game with an understanding of the rules and abilities regarding your character. You will not need to install any new software, but you should bring your own dice if you would prefer to roll physical dice instead of the digital ones. If you don't know the rules, that's fine, I'll help you as we go and get you acquainted with what you need before we start playing.
What Skyler brings to the table
Do you like music? Do you like unique voices and personalities for each NPC? Do you like story telling and narrative consequence along with your action and fun? As a DM originally inspired by Critical Role, I have a very similar playstyle and DM'ing style, preferring to engage players in very grounded character driven ways. I'll be bringing my books, notes, and world information to each game, while also providing necessary links and articles to the players that'll help them understand aspects of the world if they would like to read more about it. I will have combat maps at the ready or at least ready to create ones on the fly.
Homebrew rules
I tend not to go into games with established Homebrew rules. However, rules are guidelines, and things are always up for discussion, especially when it comes as a really cool player/character opportunity!

How Skyler creates a safe table
The world of this game WILL be Cyberpunk, which is very well known for having a very dark vibe and very often covers subjects and subject matter that can be disturbing to sensitive souls. However, despite that, the goal of this game is to entertain and provide a fantasy space to play, not to traumatize. As I meet with each player for character creation, I'll also be going over with them what kind of topics and subjects they may encounter, as well as discussing what they are or are not comfortable with dealing with at the table and in game. These limits will be kept very strictly too, and players who cross those lines will be reprimanded and potentially removed if the infraction is serious enough. Still, Cyberpunk again is known for being very dark so please apply to participate thoughtfully and with discretion.
