About the adventure
Newcomers to Cyberpunk RED are welcome! This will be a roleplay-heavy game that focuses on a cast of queer characters as they navigate the trials and tribulations of the City. The tone will have certain moments of moral grayness and tragedy, but overall, I want to tell a story of hope and community and connection. Queers of Night City is ultimately about struggling against prejudice and triumphing against people who would see you and your people destroyed. Night City is not normally a place for heroics, but your characters must be united by a desire to give back to their queer community. And, in fact, the path to legendhood is through protecting and preserving your people, not getting shot up in some gonk scheme that was destined to fail anyway.

About me
Hello hello! I’m Joe and my passion for storytelling and performance has been a lifelong adventure. I got my start with character work roleplaying by post on online forums and while I was studying to become an actor, I was introduced to TTRPGs. I started with DnD 3.5e for a couple of years, took a break and got back into the hobby in 2021 to voraciously do as much as I can. I am most comfortable with “Rule of Cool” “Theater of the Mind” games like Monster of the Week, Orbital Blues, and The Wildsea, but I’m not afraid to break out a map and get gritty with it. I’ve run successful multi-year campaigns of Blades in the Dark, MotW, and Orbital Blues. At one point, I was running/playing in five games concurrently, so I’m definitely able to multitask and keep track of what’s going on. I’m a very active player in TTRPGs, as well, so I have plenty of experience on both sides of the table. Let’s while away the time and make some kickass stories together! I hope to see y’all at my table soon.

Creating your character
Character Creation will be run using the "Complete Packages (Calculated)" section of the Cyberpunk RED Core Rulebook on page 78, using a "Starting Character" with 62 STAT points. This will be significantly easier if you use the Cyberpunk RED Companion App. Please come to me with two or three character concepts at least 1 week before Session 0. I will compile a list of characters so that there is no overlapping Roles. After the concepts are finalized, you will have the rest of that week to fill out your character's stats, skills, equipment, and cyberware. During Session 0, we will introduce our characters to each other and I will ask "bond" questions to establish relationships between your characters.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
- Discord server link will be provided - Roll20 campaign link will be provided - Cyberpunk RED Companion App (Optional)
What Joe brings to the table
I do my best to do character voices and am learning how to use ambient music during games. My combat tends to be fast & chaotic and I usually follow by the Rule of Cool most of the time!
Homebrew rules
When a situation calls for something that's more nuanced than pass/fail, I will be drawing tarot cards to interpret the result of the situation.

How Joe creates a safe table
I will be sending the Monte Cook Games Consent Checklist out to all players to fill out anonymously before our Session 0. Then, I will make a document marking all the triggers closest to red and redistribute that to the group. X Cards are verbal and I will occasionally be checking in using the Trafflic Light System: ("What color is everyone's traffic light right now?" "Green/Go!" "Yellow/Slow down, let's talk about this!" "Red/STOP!") In Session 0, I will go over: - The Lines/Veils I received from the Consent Checklist - The general vibe/tone of the game on a scale of Benny Hill to Game of Thrones - Table Expectations and Boundaries: What etiquette do we want to have at our table? - The Game Style: How much combat vs RP vs exploration vs puzzles do we want to have? - Character Death and how we respond to someone failing their death saves - PvP and how to balance between having tension between characters without having them outright betray each other - What do we do when 1 person/more people cannot show up to a session - An introduction to our cast of characters - The plot hook for Session 1 and a tiny bit of homework to think about before that session
