Dragonfall: With Love From Berlin

Creating your character

Character creation will begin during Session 0 and continue as needed before Session 1. New players are absolutely welcome, and I am happy to help with both character creation and learning the rules. No prior Cyberpunk RED experience is required. Curiosity, initiative, investment in your character, and a willingness to engage with the world are far more important than system mastery.

Preparing for the session

Before Session 1, players should: • Create a free Discord account. • Join the campaign Discord server. • Have a reliable internet connection and a quality microphone/headset. • Create or have access to a Roll20 account. • Review the Cyberpunk RED core rules (no prior experience required). • Read any campaign primers, setting information, or handouts provided before the game. • Come to Session 0 with a character concept, even if it is only a rough idea.

What Ashley brings to the table

My games emphasize meaningful choices, memorable NPCs, long-term consequences, and stories built around the characters themselves. Your backgrounds, ambitions, relationships, allies, enemies, and personal goals will become part of the narrative. The decisions you make will influence the future of Berlin and the people who call it home. Players can expect: • Conspiracies, investigations, and hidden agendas • Corporate intrigue and political maneuvering • Dangerous jobs and high-stakes decisions • Character-driven story arcs and personal growth • Memorable allies, rivals, and factions • Long-term consequences that shape the world • A collaborative and welcoming table environment

Homebrew rules

The campaign uses mostly RAW Cyberpunk RED with an emphasis on character relationships, reputation, faction influence, and narrative consequences.

How Ashley creates a safe table

Creating a safe, welcoming, and respectful environment is important to me. Before the campaign begins, we will have a Session 0 to discuss expectations, table culture, character concepts, campaign themes, and any concerns players may have. I use a combination of: • Lines & Veils • X, N, & O Cards • Open Door Policy • Ongoing Check-Ins Players may communicate concerns verbally, through Discord messages, or privately at any time. No explanation is required to use a safety tool. If something makes a player uncomfortable, we will address it respectfully and move forward. Cyberpunk RED often explores themes such as violence, crime, corporate exploitation, poverty, inequality, corruption, addiction, body modification, loss, trauma, and moral ambiguity. During Session 0 we will discuss what subjects are appropriate for the table and establish any Lines (subjects excluded from play) and Veils (subjects that may exist in the setting but remain off-screen). Because this campaign is heavily character-driven, we will also discuss boundaries regarding character conflict, betrayal, romance, and other potentially sensitive interactions before they arise during play. I encourage feedback throughout the campaign. If something is not working, if a player has concerns, or if someone simply wants to discuss their experience, I am always happy to listen. My goal is to create a table where everyone feels comfortable contributing, exploring their character, and engaging with the story. At the end of the day, we are here to tell a great story, support one another, and have fun doing it.
