About the adventure
This game is inspired by the melodramatic card battles of Yu-Gi-Oh and the desperate rebelliousness of Cyberpunk. Players will be Deck Runners, trying to overthrow or outlast the corrupt SCALPers of Duel City. In this world, where the digital and physical realities blend together, Deck Runners use CodeCards, uploaded straight to their CyberDecks, to fight against their oppressors. I hope to blend both elements in a way that feels fun and lighthearted, with the opportunity for genuine scenes exploring the character's wants and needs. This is an entirely homebrew setting, so you don't need to have any previous knowledge of either Yugioh or Cyberpunk to play.

About me
I'm an English educator who has been in love with tabletop games since high school. I enjoy the Game Master role because it lets me take advantage of the various storytelling and world building techniques I have built up both in my education and personal life. I try to be the person who works hard ahead of time so that others can have a great experience. I think my main goal when GMing is to create a memorable and meaningful experience for my players.

What Brian Espinosa brings to the table
As a GM there are a few things I consider important to running a quality game. 1. Playing to find out what happens. I never plan out the player's solutions to the problems characters face. The fun of these games is creating a story together, and I want to give you all that freedom to help decide where the story goes. 2. Vibes. I want to create an aesthetic that fits the tone of my games. This includes using music which matches the mood, battlemaps that are consistent and readable, and art which helps both of us picture what is going on. 3. The Rule of Cool. These games are all about creative problem solving. I always embrace creative player ideas and find a fair way to make them work because I know how great that feels as a player. Swing from chandeliers, cast a spell in a weird way, and try your best to convince the villain of whatever you like. Let’s worry more about telling a good story than following the rules.
Homebrew rules
I like going with rule of cool. If the rulebook doesn't provide what you're looking for, then we can tweak something or create something brand new!

How Brian Espinosa creates a safe table
I like to use Stars and Wishes for easy and clear player feedback. I also encourage players to send me their Lines and Veils so that we can keep people feeling comfortable and safe. Finally, if a player ever does feel uncomfortable with what's happening, please feel free to send me an X and we will resolve the uncomfortable situation.
