About the adventure
Welcome to the dark future, choom. It's been about two decades since the bomb went off in Arasaka Tower, leveling much of Night City. The 4th Corporate War may not have lasted very long, but enough bombs went off and enough rocks were dropped from space to turn the skies red. The global supply chain broke and the Megacorps retreated (mostly), leaving Night City to fend for itself. But there are signs of recovery. The Nomad families are crossing the plains and seas, bringing the goods that can't be manufactured here, and Reclaimers are starting to turn some of the ruins livable again. The NCPD is even starting to patrol some of the safer parts of the city. But there's plenty of space left for people like you, the cyberpunks; the edgerunners. You've got metal in you limbs, ammo for your iron, and there are jobs to be done. Cyberpunk Red is the latest in a series of TTRPGs first published in the late 80s by Mike Pondsmith, and its world gave us characters like Rogue and Johnny Silverhand. If you liked Netflix's Edgerunners Anime or Cyberpunk 2077, this is your chance to step into that same world. In this Learn to Play one-shot, I'll take you through the basics of the system. We'll start with character building, and then move into a short job that will leave you ready to join any kind of Cyberpunk campaign that you want. It's a quick, deadly game, so get ready to chip in!
Additional Details
How to prepare
You will need a microphone, free accounts on Discord and Roll20, and a reasonably quiet space in order to take part. I also recommend using a headset or a push-to-talk setting on Discord, to prevent outside noise from disrupting the game.
What I provide
During character creation, I'll help you find character art and I'll set up a token for you, so that you can easily take the character that you create into another campaign.
Gameplay details
Cyberpunk Red is a brutal and violent system, meant to replicate the darkness of the Cyberpunk genre of movies and books. Some amount of violence and gore is inherent to the system, such as major injuries to specific body parts. With that in mind, we won't be pushing the boundaries in this one-shot, as it's just meant to be a primer on the system itself.

How will character creation work
We will spend about the first half of the session creating your characters in Roll20, so you won't need to have anything prepared beforehand. If you want to use the character that you create in a future game, I will be able to turn it into a PDF for you to use later.
