Cyberpunk Red: Southside Deep Dive

About the adventure

The 4th Corporate War’s over and the big dogs have retreated to their corners to lick their wounds. That leaves everyone else to fend for themselves in a shattered world. And that’s just fine. ‘cause you’ve got interface plugs in your wrists, metal in your limbs, and chips in your skull. You’re wired in, loaded with chrome, and ready to take it to the Edge. There’s a world full of opportunities out there. Maybe this time you can do more than save yourself. Maybe... In this one-shot I've written the PCs take on the roles of Private Investigators brought in on a case that will take them deep into South Night City. ***I will NOT be using Discord as my platform.

Gameplay details

This game will NOT have a session zero, ALTHOUGH the first 30-45 minutes of session 1 can be allocated for player orientation. CONTENT WARNING: Some of my battle descriptions may have excessive violence. There are certain rules I ask my players to follow while playing, to make this a fun table for everyone to play at. COMMUNICATION TRUST AND CARE: "Respect each others characters and players." This is a game and everyone is joining to have fun, let's show each other some courtesy and respect character choices and such. Don't attack or steal from another player, In my experience It's not a great experience for anyone at the table for in party fighting. LINES AND VEILS "Please refrain from overly sexual themes" We get it, your character is charismatic and he would flirt with everyone, which is all fine and dandy towards NPCS, but not everyone is comfortable with those sort of advances, and PC to PC romance is something that should be discussed with each other before the game. Obviously NPC romance is fine, but i will generally do a "fade to black" rather than describing stuff like that. LUXTON TECHNIQUE: "If you're uncomfortable, come forward." You can always speak up if something in a session is making you uncomfortable, If not in the chat, you can also Private message me if that's easier. My goal is everyone to enjoy themselves and am always working to make my games reflect that. OPEN DOOR: "Breaks" four hours is a long time to be sitting at your computer, At the 2 hour mark i will have everyone break for 15 minutes, to use the restroom, grab a drink, stretch, all that jazz, but never feel like you can't go afk for a moment anytime during the session. Self care comes first, the game will still be here when you get back. Just let us know when you step away please. DEBRIEFING: "Let's talk" Naturally as the session ends, we have a little conversation about the session and how it went, this allows us to talk about what we enjoyed and what we're looking forward to, as well as touching on stuff we did not like. This will always be taken as constructive criticism for me to make my games better so never feel bad about coming forward.

How will character creation work

Players may make a character using the rules in the Cyberpunk Red Core Rulebook (Using the Template Methods because it's the easiest); if not, no worries, I have pregenerated characters available (the ones from the Jumpstart box). The only other instructions I have for character creation are that at least one player should be a Netrunner or have a Cyberdeck; and that you may start with an additional 200eb.

Players can expect

• Find a game to join solo or search for a professional game master for you and your friends/coworkers/family.
• Book your session and wait for the Game Master to approve you.
• If you don't have a blast with your first game, your next game is on us.
