About the adventure

I originally designed this setting for DND 5E but it's a little lack luster for a steampunk/shadowrun style game. Cypher lends itself more to "role" playing than "roll" playing, so come join us where magic meets technology and the two are intertwined like the double helix of DNA. Cinderfell is a metropolis built on corporate rule and offering an oasis of warmth in the unforgiving tundra. Anything your heart desires could be yours in this amazing yet terrible city. Take on the role of a "Ghostrunner," hired mercenaries that can take jobs from simple courier services, that barely pay anything, to top paying corporate espionage. The city is filled with all manner of life, from run of the mill humans to elves, dwarves and orcs, to anthropomorphic creatures of all kinds. This diverse city has the power to make all your dreams come true one day, and to end your story the next. Ghostrunners tend to either live long quiet lives, or go out early in a fantastic blaze of glory. Welcome to Cinderfell, which will if be for you? A quiet life, or a blaze of glory?

About me

Hi! My name is Reina(she/her), aka "The Rainbow Role" on social media! My primary experience with TTRPGs is with D&D. I got started young and rolled my first 2e AD&D character when I was eight and I have never stopped. I ran my first game when I was twelve and have been a "forever DM" ever since. Currently I primarily run and play 5e, both 2014 and 2024, but have experience 2e, 3.5e D&D, pathfinder, Carbon 2185 and non d20 systems as well, including Heavy Gear's silhouette system and Wold of Darkness. In the last ten years or so I've really made an effort to make my games more role-play heavy and less of a "table top war game with a role-play element." I love lore, both writing it and having my players give their characters lore. I can run a number of styles from light-hearted and goofy to gritty and dystopian, to grimdark. I'm also a huge proponent of safety devices and make sure I include them in any of my games. I'm also a digital artist, so I'm vehemently anti-GenAI, none of my games currently or ever will feature any generative AI assets or writing. That said I love getting to create character art for people and my profile picture is was created by me in Procreate based on a picture of myself.

Creating your character

We will have a free session 0 to go over character creation. Think about what kind of character you want to play but players will ultimately create their characters during the session zero. This will be run using the new second edition of Cypher

What to expect

Preparing for the session

We'll be doing this all over Discord

What Reina brings to the table

I'm a huge fan of rule of cool, I use background music for ambiance and some character voices. This will be theatre of the mind.

How Reina creates a safe table

I have a consent form I send to all of my players to fill out with lines and veils, if there's something that's not on there I'm happy to chat and make sure all of my players are comfortable at the table.
