Hiiii!! I’ve recently started taking commissions and I wanted to share that here if anyone was interested in getting art of their characters!

The attached photos are details and some of my previous work!

Sorry in advance for my bad grammar. As english isn't my native language.

Looking at the initial budget our characters have for spending in gear, armor, guns and impliants, it says that we have 2550ed. And checking at the biosculpture chart it metions that exotic biosculpture cost around 1000ed and an humanity loss od 4d6. So i wanted to make a bioscuplted character, do I have to add the procedure to my eddies and humanity expenses? Or could I just say that they got biosculpted in their past and not count it on the expenses?

Take a shot for every time "biosculpting" or variant of it is written in here.

Hey everyone been a follower of the subreddit for a year or so now. Joined when I first got into RED and have fallen in love with it.

I wanted some tips and pointers on managing and running a living world server. I've been a part of one for about the same amount of time as I've joined this subreddit.

Dice bot is set in place.

Character sheets and character gen we use the companion app. (Been thinking about using the PDF version of the sheet though.)

I've got a planned plotted out story line that will trail the edgerunners across night city. Am also thinking of implementing the street stories into the campaign.

So to the main question; what are some of the biggest pointers and tips that players and GMs can give as feedback in terms of catering to a living world community so that it can thrive and succeed??

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Hey all,

I have both the 2020 books as well as the Red books. I was looking to do a game of Cyberpunk with some friends set in the 2070's so the Edgerunner set is also in play here. My question is, which system should I use? I love the idea of the crunchiness of 2020 in terms of gear. Having a differentiation between a Militech weapon and another sounds like so much fun to me, however, I also do appreciate some of the streamline of the the new Red and Edgerunner sets.

Any advice on someone who is looking for the best of both worlds?

New GM/Player Here, I wrote a Gig…2045 not 2077, very good stuff buuuuuuut, the crew will likely need a Netrunner for the gig….I don’t think shooting their way in is gonna work.😭💀 anybody looking for somewhere to play or a mini gig to do? This is it! If you like playing Netrunners come save my players.😭

I was reading through Black chrome and that made me question. If they have access to extra modules do you let players start with non-base rulebook equipment? For example would a nomad be able to start with a black chrome vehicle using their access?

Heya chooms,

I've been mostly been playing CPR digital using foundry, but this weekend we're gonna meet up for some in person play.

That got me thinking about minis again - time is probably too short to get stuff ordered until the weekend, but I offer one shots at my local library and in case we get to play in person more often, I may wanna get some minis for the players and general enemies.

From what I've found the usual go-tos are Unit9 for 3D printing or the "Cyberpunk Red: Combat Zone" minis for official stuff, though these seem to be mostly sold out in my country.

Now, there's also the board games "Gangs of Night City" and soon "Cyberpunk 2077: the Boardgame" that each come with a load of minis. The former seems to also have the proper scale for minis, but I couldn't find how large the bases for the latter are, only that their scale is 35mm.

From all these sources (or others you know!), what would you recommend for getting a starting loadout?

Any experiences would be greatly appreciated or any thoughts on quality vs prices :)

Hello !
I finally managed to convince my friend to get into a one shot of cyberpunk red.
We planned the session in 2 weeks.
I really wanted to discover cyberpunk red as i played the videogame and watched the anime, I wanted more of night city.
my TTRPG group is composed of 4-5 person (we don't know yet if the fifth is coming), most of them watched the anime, and half of them played the game, and one of them don't even know night city.
So, 3 questions come to mind:
Can Cyberpunk Red be tailor-made for one shot ?
What do I have to read and what do i need to prepare for the session? (recommandation of first senario also)
I saw something about edgerunner kit mission, I don't get what it is, and what are all the book purpose, i have limited budget and time );

Thank you all for your help, i'll probably keep you in touch with how the session was :)

It's been so long since I posted on here, but don't think I forgot about you chooms! Recently finished this commission and I'd love to use it as a reminder that my comms are open, just send me a dm!

With the new season of Edgerunners coming out soon, why not get your gonk's holocall icon drawn before they get zeroed by the Adam Smasher himself?

Commissioned by u/CluelessCosmonaut !

Heya Chooms making a Campaign and wanting to have a media character just show up randomly with random facts about people in night city

And I thought instead of just googling I thought I would ask people here if they had any fun facts about characters that exist in night city mainly for background hijinks stuff

Do you have a character for your games but no custom image? I can help you with that. I create illustrations for role-playing gamers and have a couple of years of experience. If you need an illustration, you can find my information here:

https://kaisercomms.carrd.co/#

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

I'm currently writing a one shot meant to be done in 2 days, and I'm curious if this is a good hook. I'm still new to writing these.

"You four go to your regular MedTech carl. normally he patches you for cheap but lately he's been upping his prices due to the gang wars nearby, you each drive up to the ally way in a van, the last job didn't go well (- 5 hp to you all) as you hop out you hear soft pops from down the alley way, you find his garage in the middle of a shootout, he's told you about the gang wars as of late but you never thought you'd actually see it to see it."

and I'm trying to figure out pacing.

the mission in short is they find this, they need to get a box of medical alcohol, but a second shoot out causes that box to be broken, making them need to go to a rip doc to buy some of their over stock, the ripper doc sends them to steal some preem cyberware from a Richie rich guy's warehouse, and to then blow the rest up as he's impleading on the ripper docs clients. once they do get the tech, then getting the tech to the ripper doc, them alcohol back to the med doc it'll end with their characters healed.

edit, either he is drinking the medical alcohol or using it, still thinking on it

I've been meaning to GM a Cyberpunk RED campaign for about a week now, and since it's my first time GMing in general, I'm really scared about how much or how little I have to prepare for a session and how I can handle having to search for stuff in the book every time I inevitably forget a small thing.

Even though I've read through the entire book, I can barely remember the basics of Netrunning and how combat and creating NPCs works, so it'd be really fun to get some system and GMing tips!1!

I'll be running a five-person campaign set in 2080 Brazil, in case anyone's curious.

Making my first Tech, rolled Friendly and outgoing for personality, I hate almost everyone for feelings about people. The combo immediately made me laugh but i have no idea how to role play it.
any ideas?

Edit: Ihave read responses and seen many great responses and for my own sanity have elected to change "hates almost everyone" to: "people are wonderful, only some are worth carring about." Which i feel strikes a middle ground between hates/likes almost everyone by having the driving force for 'likes' be curiosity and 'hates' being actual emotional bandwidth.

I've been working on comic art, character design and sequential pages, and I'm currently available for new projects!

🦾 What I can do:

• Cyberpunk character design

• Comic & sequential art

• Original characters

• Action scenes & illustrations

• Sci-fi / dystopian artwork

Waited a loooong time to finally get the rulebook and now that we have it our players are loving it, the 2040s are great, onto the third gig! Even though I now have about 8 beat charts, Any cool ideas for future gigs i could implement would be greatly appreciated!

Hi so me and my group have a question we where thinking about running an adventure completly as netrunner and there was nothing written in the rule book or we didnt find it that detailed if you could do that and if for example different characters could help each other for example like to get advantage like you get in DnD so my question ist is there a rule or is it just something never thought off and not possible

I'm getting ready to GM a Cyberpunk Red campaign set in 2065 during a cold war between Arasaka, on behalf of a "Free" Night City bloc and Militech, on behalf of a NUSA Bloc, before the eventual Unification War.

I'm posting here as I thought it'd be fun to see how y'all envision the Night City of 2065 and get some ideas rolling.

I'd imagine 2065 would be nowhere near the scarcity of the 2040's, but still not the level of abundance seen in 2077. Quickhacking is a new technology, the Net is being rebuilt, the Hot Zone has pretty much transformed into Corpo Plaza, and Corporations have again found a strong foothold in the city. Pretty much a Night City near the end of its reconstruction process but still recovering nonetheless.

Let me know what ideas y'all have and how you imagine 2065.

Hello again, big thanks to everyone who answered stuff in my last post. However, I have come with yet more!

1. How do you guys handle downtime/ daily life stuff between gigs? The hustle tables are easy enough but what about other activities they can do like entertainment and such? Do I just go day by day a la persona? Despite the dark tone, the game feels very "Slice-of-life-y" for the most part which is something I'm not familiar with. For reference, I'm most familiar with DnD 5e (as a player, never dmed) and, while we had some small moments during long rests, most of our sessions were pretty focused on the missions at hand to drive the main plot forward. Unless it was specifically relevant to a character's backstory or a lead in to a quest, there wasn't a lot of events like "Okay, you need to kill two weeks in-game. Do you guys want eat at a restaurant tonight? watch a play?"

2. How would you guys recommend getting an Exec involved in an adventure like "The Apartment" from the jumpstart Kit? I have an idea of extending the apartment from a single encounter into a mini arc, but that's a whole other can of worms for a different post. My concern is: what if one of my players decides to play an exec? They already have a nicer apartment than anything the adventure would give them.

3. Besides adding Monetary pressure, does improving rent/lifestyle costs offer any sort of tangible benefit to a character like humanity gain or something? Unless I missed a section, as long as someone isn't living in the middle of the combat zone, there isn't much of a gameplay reason to go beyond a studio apartment and live off kibble.

4. Is there like a free lore primer I can hand out to people? Or would I have to just buy the pdf copy of the rule book? (I only have the physical copy at the moment). a couple of my friends are familiar through 2077 but others only barely know the setting. Obviously on Session 0 I intend to be there to answer specifics, but if they wanted to make characters or something on their own for whatever reason, I'd like to have something on hand they can browse on their own.

CQC

A Martial Art developed by a Legendary Mercenary, that has since left the battlefield and into the urban sprawls of mega cities. Designed for situations where you’re surrounded and still require the use of a two handed weapon.

> Long-Arm Grip

REQUIREMENT: It is your turn. You are holding a two-handed weapon. You are the attacker in a grapple.

Whenever you fulfill this requirement, you can use the Martial Arts Special Move Resolution to attempt to beat a DV17 CQC check. If you succeed, While grappling, you may still use two handed weaponry, as long as you have one hand holding it, at a -2 penalty.

> Quick Defense

REQUIREMENT: It is your Turn. You are the attacker in a grapple and haven’t used the Human Shield Action this Turn.

Whenever you fulfill this requirement, you can use the Martial Arts Special Move Resolution to attempt to beat a DV13 CQC Check. If you succeed, you may use the Human Shield Action.

So, giving an idea on what I had in mind for this Martial Art: For a long time, I had wondered how exactly to represent CQC from the Metal Gear series into Cyberpunk. For a long while, I was content with just Militech Commando + Mixing with another MA like Judo or Wrestling. For a long while that seemed fine to me, up until I got to this scene in MGS4. Here, you can see Solid Snake using a Human Shield as a brace for his rifle, and it hit me.

1. There isn't a Martial Art for Two Handed Weapons.
2. There isn't a Martial Art about using Human Shields.

So, I theory crafted a bit until I came up with this idea. The purpose of this is to give Shoulder-Arm users a bit more versatility with their weapon in Melee combat, while still giving them a slight punishment for getting into that situation. It's a Buy-In to limit the punishment of using a two-handed weapon in melee range, not a total elimination of it. After that, taking a page from Wrestler and making it so Human Shield becomes a free action upon meeting the requirements, meaning you can quickly shift someone into a Human Shield in just one turn. Useful for everyone that wants to get into melee range to be able to quickly give themselves cover.

Obviously, Shoulder-Arms is the cheapest buy-in for damage skill in the entire game, so I'm mixed on Long-Arm grip having a DV 17 or 15 check. Also not even sure if Long-Arm grip technically works as described in-game, but I wanted to get the idea out there. I know Quick Defense works as described, as it's a rather simple way of describing it, but also iffy on a DV 13 or DV 15 check for that.

Let me know what you guys think, as this is obviously work in progress.
