About the adventure
Let me introduce you to your fixer, Ballard Horn. He's the owner of The Mix, a club-cum-temple for a cult that worships the holy Mixer Board. In order to continue their ritual prayers (or, to the unawakened onlooker, raves), they need a box. He will pay 2k creds EACH for this box. The holy Mixer Board said so itself through a series of beat drops and tempo changes. Problem is, the box is currently in the possession of another crew. The Howlin' Fowls. Given the fact that they just made 150k creds EACH for their last job, they're renting out Ezio Villa in the gated community of The Hills. A home that was subject to a gunfight for a botched assassination attempt where that crew was given death EACH for the job, but despite the bullet holes and corpse-stench that won't come out, it's a drop of luxury you will never have. However, there's no time for fantasizing about the enticing dreams of a HOA. You've got a box to heist. This game is a playthrough of the Ezio Villa Heist pamphlet from a Kickstarter awhile back. I'll be sticking mostly to the pamphlet with d6 surprises thrown in.

About me
Hi! My name is Brooke, and I’m passionate about role playing and storytelling. I’ve been involved in TTRPGs for 5 years and GMing for 4 years. I’m most acquainted with Cyberpunk RED (both in the core 2045 and 2077 setting with the Edgerunners Mission Kit). I’ve GMed over 100 Cyberpunk RED games, whether they be in a campaign, living community, or one-shot format. I’ve also played hundreds of Cyberpunk Red games. In addition, I’ve run games of Cy_borg, CBR + PNK, Marvel Multiverse, Shadowrun 2nd Edition, and Cyberpunk 2020. I also have experience playing MASKS and Fallout 2d20. I enjoy trying new systems, so if anyone wants to play anything from Vampire the Masquerade to Brindlewood Bay, I’m down. I can run DnD if need be, but my hope is to give other games the spotlight they deserve. What brings me to RPGs, and to GMing, is my love of acting. I enjoy role playing and creating a world and stories where people can deeply inhabit their characters around fun, life-like NPCs. What’s most important to me is my players feel comfortable and have fun, and as a femme member of the LGBTQIA+ community, that especially means welcoming those who may have felt excluded from the ttrpg community in the past. For the under 18s, I have experience working with young people from ages 7-18 in school, camp, and homeless youth shelter settings. If you are a parent of an under 18 and would like to do a video call, look at my background, etc. we can absolutely set that up :) My under 18 games will never include adults in the mixture, unless it is a confirmed family game. I have researched several school and library programs regarding ttrpgs for youth and keep the games appropriate for the age, which for teens is a PG-13 and, once the DnD kids games are introduced, G-PG. This includes setting ground rules and not only shaping the in game content, but also moderating both the voice and text chats. I believe that ttrpgs can be a really great way for youths to practice social skills in a safe environment, encourage math and reading skills, and make new friends in an era where human connection is increasingly uncommon. Please message me with any questions you may have.

Creating your character
There are a few ways you can make a character. 1. Use the online character generator at https://cy-borg.makedatanotlore.dev/ 2. Make your character by the book following the instructions listed on pages 37-39. All classes or classless are available. 3. Not enough classes for you? Check out the dozens of extra Approved ones in the server for looking at. If it’s *still* not enough for a punk like you, send me any of the ones you’re thinking of so I can look and approve on a case-by-case basis. Please make at least two characters. Remember, you can get paid in death. You die, grab your new sheet, get immediately dropped back into action.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We’re doing Theory of the Mind, so you will only need a Discord account. Please have read at least pages 37, 40-41, 79-83,the optional combat mod of aiming on 85, and 87. Everything between 37-87 is even better. Plus, the book is beautiful. Just read the whole darn thing!
What Brooke- GM sadhedonist brings to the table
I use character voices annd ensure to make them feel distinct. I use art aand descriptions to make the scene come alive and make positional sense, especially as an TotM game. I have a playlist specifically for the session. I have a firm grasp on the rules and the pamphlet, and understand rules are vehicles for roleplay. Punishing rules-lite=way more narrative flexibility, common-sense rulings and not solely dice-based outcomes, and gritty, deadly combat. Wackiness is inherent to the system. I can get wacky while still providing gutterpunk horror.

How Brooke- GM sadhedonist creates a safe table
There will be a link to my lines and veils document that appears in the message once you sign up for the game. There is a 13min break about halfway through the session. There may be smaller 6 minute breaks outside of that if need be. If you need to take care of anything, bathroom, water, phone call, etc you are free to v do so, just message brb in the chat. If your going to be gone for more than a minute or two, please give an estimate as to when you’ll be back. X card to stop the game can either be messaged in the chat while tagging me, DMing me X through discord, or saying “X” or “Stop” vocally. You do not need to provide a reason why you are doing so. I’ll check in with you after the game to see if there’s anything I can do to help. If you need to leave the game after we stop via X card due to the emotions that can bring up, you will be refunded. If you feel like things may be getting close to an X for you, you can do all of the same elements with “yellow” and it will lead to us to re-assess what is currently happening in game.
