About BackgroundSound
Long term Cyberpunk Referee looking to help some Edgerunners make it big in Night City! Whether you are a seasoned pro with their own drink at the Afterlife, or a newby still learning the rules, my table has a spot for everyone. Special thanks to Luna Tafu for my PFP, and Departure Routine for the Rockerboy art used in my banner.

My favorite system of all Time is
Cyberpunk RED. Killer world, great themes, crunchy but not too crunchy, deep world building but very approachable for newbies.
The three words my players would use to describe me are...
Kind, Expressive, Passionate.
When I'm not running games I'm...
Prepping games. Even if it coming up with ideas as I go about my day, my mind is never too far from my table.
How BackgroundSound runs games
I have a lot of experience helping new players break down a system, and encouraging wild ideas. I enjoy giving my players enough guidance to throw themselves at a problem in unique ways, then reacting to their choices on an individual level.

I deal with rules issues by...
I value game flow. If a ruling is not easy to look up in the moment, I will make a call for the moment, then look up the correct ruling after session and use that going forward.
My favorite trope is...
The indomitable human spirit vs the indifferent cruelty of the universe. Row Row Fight The Power!
My games focus on...
Reactivity to player choices. I love applying the natural consequences to players actions to keep things dynamic.
BackgroundSound's ideal table
I love a table with passionate players. Whether you are the artist type who draws their character, the lore-hound that writes a tome of backstory, or the night owl who spends their evenings roleplaying in-character chats on discord, if you engage with the world it fuels my ability to make a world worth engaging in.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
Living worlds. I put a lot of effort to ensure that my worlds extend far beyond the player character's eyes.
I love it when a player
Takes flaws or hindrances to their character for the sake of the story. It is more fun to roleplay a bunch of riff raff with strengths and weaknesses than roleplay a bunch of min maxed gods.
My table is not the place for...
Hate or bigotry of any kind. No matter what someone's creed or background the only thing I refuse to tolerate is intolerance.
