opening chat

yorick: got the 411 on a possible ~ clue
xalicex: you have my attention
yorick: it's a geolocation. Timestamp is 2035. Gleaned it from some Ziggurat caches. Burned into the firmware. Someone wanted to leave a trail...
xalicex: That’s later than ~ was known to operate. What makes you think it’s her?
yorick: Schmidt-Moller patterning. ~ is the only runner crazy enough to run Militech programs on a personal deck.
xalicex: hrm. Well I'm not gonna beg. Where is the location?
yorick: lol. Part of it is still encrypted. Corp or gov algo. I can’t crack it - gotta wait for @K1K0 to log on.
slyanide: what's up nerds.
K1K0: @yorick share the file
yorick: hey @K1K0
yorick: [file attached]
slyanide: you nerds jerking off to "hacker mommy" again?
xalicex: @slyanide gtfo script kiddie. Who turned off your parental controls?
slyanide: @xalicex you mad? 1v1 me anytime, anywhere. You know how cringe you guys sound making up *fan theories* about a *celebrity hacker* from the 20s?
K1K0: [file attached]
K1K0: @yorick encryption derezzed. See attached. Too easy. You sure this is ~?
yorick: @K1K0 marry me <3
yorick: could be. I said before, I think someone *wanted* us to find this. Looking at the decrypted file now...
yorick: interesting... main line access point in Night City CA. Probably Old Net.
xalicex: think it's bait? Another Osaka?
yorick: one way to find out. Know anyone in meat space in NC?
xalicex: I can put a crew together. Can I use the fund?
yorick: go for it.
slyanide: @xalicex @K1K0 @yorick hey I can't read the file. What's it say?
slyanide: Hellooo?? What’s in the file?

Cyberpunk Red

Cyberpunk Red is a near future alternative timeline pseudo post apocalyptic cyberpunk setting set in Night City along Morro Bay in (formerly) sunny California. Don't know what all that means? Well it means we got flying cars, neon lights, chips in our brains, samurai swords in our hands, and machine guns in in our hands. But the sky is all smoky and red, because of the nuclear war. Or maybe it was the orbital bombing, or the chemical attacks, or the dust storms from the drought. Everyone always seems to have a different answer.

What we do know is that the food sucks, you can't breathe the air, and everything is still broken from the war. The city is dangerous, what with all the boostergangers, but it's more dangerous outside of town unless you're a nomad. The corps own everything and they rent it to you, even your life expectancy. Especially your life expectancy. But you're gonna get what's yours choom, with whatever tools you can find, make, or steal, 'cus low life and high tech is the name of the game.

What To Bring

A starting (rank 4) character if you've never played in one of my games. If you have played in one of my games, you can bring a returning character along with any IP, gear, and eddies (and scars) that you've earned. The game emphasizes style over substance, so be sure to take note of the shade of black of your leather jacket and the height of your mohawk.

The easiest way to make a character is to download the Cyberpunk Red Companion app.

If you don't want to use the app, you can get free PDFs of character sheets from the official game site, as well as DriveThruRPG. There are pre made characters as well.

Letting me know what role you'll be playing before the session allows me to include content that will let your character shine. This is especially important for fixers and medias as their abilities can be highly GM/RP dependent. Also I'm happy to include your character's friends and enemies in the session if you let me know who they are before hand!

Feel free to reach out to your host if you have any questions about character creation.

The Venue

We will be playing at Raygun Lounge located at 501 E Pine St, Retail B Seattle, WA 98122.
