Creating your character

Character creation will take place during Session Zero, conducted collaboratively as a group using the Cyberpunk Companion App. There are three methods of character generation available, each catering to different levels of customisation. The first is the simplest approach, ideal for players who wish to prepare a character quickly. With only a few dice rolls, you can create a ready to play Streetrat. The second method expands on this process with additional rolls, resulting in an Edgerunner. Finally, the Complete Package uses a point buy system. While more complex, it offers the greatest flexibility, allowing for the creation of a highly customised character. All three methods will be explained in detail during Session Zero, alongside additional character creation options. There may also be certain incentives available for those willing to Sell Out.

Preparing for the session

Requirements: Access to Discord, the Cyberpunk Companion App, and the Cyberpunk RED Corebook, as well as a computer or device with a stable internet connection.

What Brodie brings to the table

I take a dynamic approach to storytelling, placing players in challenging situations across social, combat, and exploratory encounters. These scenarios are designed to present meaningful decisions that shape the direction of the campaign, reflecting the harsh and unforgiving nature of the Cyberpunk setting. I aim to bring the world to life through a diverse cast of characters, engaging narrative developments, and impactful player choices. Character portrayal extends beyond simple accents, incorporating distinct cadence, rhythm, and manner of speech to create fully realised personalities. I incorporate ambient music via Spotify to enhance immersion and atmosphere during sessions, and you are welcome to listen along as it will be shared. When combat arises, I adhere to rules as written to ensure consistency and fairness for all players. Please note that combat in this system is intentionally challenging and can result in severe consequences for characters. While opportunities for planning may arise, Night City is inherently unpredictable, and even routine moments can escalate into dangerous encounters. My goal is for all players to enjoy the experience. While I will present significant challenges and genuine risk, I will not place players in unavoidable, unwinnable situations without clear warning and the opportunity to disengage. Danger and consequence are integral to the game, but they are balanced with fairness and player agency. While I may not reveal every hidden threat, I will ensure you are aware when risks are present.

How Brodie creates a safe table

This is a player focused game, and I want everyone at the table to feel safe and comfortable. That said, the setting is inherently dark, with themes and tones that are often grim in nature and likely to arise during play. Elements such as bigotry, cruelty, and malicious intent may be present. It is therefore important for me to understand individual boundaries and where limits should be set. As a Game Master, there are certain topics I will not depict directly, such as sexual assault, though references to such events or their impact on characters may exist within the narrative. During Session Zero, I will provide lines and veils documentation to help establish boundaries. If you already have one prepared, that is equally welcome. You are always free to message me or the group outside of sessions if anything feels uncomfortable or concerning. During play, you may request a pause at any time to step away or to discuss something that has occurred. At the end of each session, I will check in with everyone to ensure they are feeling comfortable, as the tone of the game can be intense. If any issues arise, I am always open to discussion, with the aim of maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for all participants.
