About the adventure
Embark on a cyberpunk noir one-shot about living in the aftermath of a single catastrophic mistake and deciding what you’re willing to burn when the world is already crashing. It’s going to be tense, fast, and unforgiving, driven by pressure, fractured loyalty, and choices made when there’s no safe option left. Built for pulse-pounding one-shots, CBR+PNK uses the Forged in the Dark framework to lean into bold risk-taking and meaningful consequences, creating cinematic, high-pressure gameplay. Runner. You've got heavy tactical teams inbound. They got air support covering all exits. The whole grid’s lighting up with your sensor ghost and it’s only a matter of time before every trigger-happy merc in the sector descends on top of you like a swarm of locusts. Oh, and that ticking in your skull? It’s a countdown. You pulled something you shouldn’t have off an offshore corpo server, and now it’s chewing through your chrome from the inside out. A digital worm, deep in your subsystems, cooking your implants, turning your own gear against you. In a matter of minutes, you flatline. But right now? Right now you’re carrying the keys to the kingdom. One night. One operation. One shot. So make it count.

About me
Hello, passengers! This is your captain speaking. Please fasten your seatbelts as we prepare for departure into strange new worlds! 🚀 Coming from a background in film, VFX, and graphic design, I bring those same tools to the table: atmosphere, impactful framing, cinematic pacing, and an eye for moments that stay with you long after the credits roll. Rest assured that at my table, it is your choices that fuel the narrative engines of the games we will play. Whether you sprint across the roof of a moving train to catch an enemy spy beneath a neon sky, desperately run through the boot-up sequence of your mech surrounded by the burning wreckage of your comrades-in-arms, explore the crumbling ruins of a long-lost civilization deep in the Andes, or stand at the edge of time and space witnessing the last light of a dying star, I will be there with you every step of the way. Together, we will turn hard choices into harder consequences, and transform those moments into memories through cinematic gameplay. Whether this journey takes the shape of hyper-kinetic action, quiet reflection, or emotional roller coasters, we will create a welcoming and safe space for everybody at the table. I hope to see you in a game soon!

What Arturo Guerra brings to the table
CBR+PNK is one of my favorite games ever made. I carry the physical edition with me almost everywhere; its compact format means it can hit the table and start rolling in minutes. As an official Mythworks GM, I’ve run this game countless times and can’t wait to take you on an adrenaline-charged one-shot where the fun is directly proportional to your willingness to embrace trouble.

How Arturo Guerra creates a safe table
At the beginning of the game, we’ll establish the table’s Lines and Veils and make sure everyone knows the X-Card is available throughout the session with no questions asked. My goal is to create an environment where everyone feels comfortable and safe so we can focus on telling an amazing story together. After the session, I’m always happy to stay around, debrief, and hear everyone’s thoughts and feelings about the experience.
