About the adventure
🌇 Traverse a destroyed America, seeing the aftermath of several Corporate Wars. 🔫 Face fast, brutal action where smart plans beat raw chrome. 💾 Protect your cargo against techno-ninjas, bounty hunters, and even Elvis-lookalikes. When you are hired for a foolproof job to escort cargo across the country, it is only natural that everything goes haywire. Now you have the opportunity for a sightseeing trip across the segmented America as you race against danger to reach the California coast. And you have to wonder, am I getting paid enough for this? This game centers on player agency, momentum, and consequences. I run Cyberpunk RED to keep the action moving and the pressure constant. Expect sharp tone, hard choices, and room for dark humor when everything inevitably goes sideways. If you want meaningful decisions, dangerous scenes, and a country that remembers your name, this is your game.

Creating your character
0️⃣ Character creation will happen during session zero, but coming in with early ideas is recommended. 🔨 Characters can be built using Fast & Dirty for quick play or Calculated for more detailed creation. 📚 This game uses the Cyberpunk RED core rulebook, with material from other sourcebooks allowed at the Referee’s discretion.
What to expect
Preparing for the session

How Charles creates a safe table
0️⃣ We will go over rules and safety tools in Session Zero, and I am happy to accommodate your needs! ◦ First we cover the use of X,N,O cards as well as Lines and Veils. ◦ Second we set expectations for the open door policy as well as breaks. 📞 I will check in with players regularly, and can be reached out of sessions. 💀 Cyberpunk RED is a dangerous game, character death is a possibility.
