ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
NCPD has reported that Lucy Rhinemeyer, 19-year-old daughter of Rocklin Augmentics Executive Engineer George Edward Rhinemeyer, has joined the growing number of missing young women in Night City. Over the last four weeks, seven women have been reported missing across the University District. Their whereabouts are a complete mystery to NCPD detectives, who still have no leads. Mr. Rhinemeyer has yet to be reached for comment.

Early in the morning, you receive a message from Mr. Rhinemeyer’s representative:

“As you may know, my client’s daughter went missing in the University District. We have had little cooperation from the local authorities. My client has authorized me to pay out 2,000eb per head to contractors of my choice. You come highly recommended. You will each receive 500eb upon the signing of a contract with Rocklin Augmentics, with the remainder of the funds issued once Lucy Rhinemeyer has been recovered—in whatever state you happen to find her. Good hunting.”

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Welcome to the Time of the Red, Choomba! The Megacorporations spent decades wrecking everything and in the aftermath of their last War, everyone has to fend for themselves. But that’s just fine. You can handle it. After all, in a world of vicious boostergangs, rampaging cyborgs, corporate assassins, and nihilistic doomsday cults, there’s only one rule: Always take it to the Edge. Take the big risks, get the big rewards. Be the action, start the rebellion, light the fire. Never drive slow when you can blaze a trail. You’ve hooked your Militech pistol to the interface in your brain; upgraded your cybernetic fist with carbo-glas blades; and installed cybereyes that can pierce through the red haze like morning fog.

There’s a world full of opportunities out there, just waiting for the right Edgerunner. Maybe that’s you.

Cyberpunk RED is the latest edition of the classic tabletop roleplaying game of the Dark Future and encompasses everything you need to explore the post-War world of the Time of the Red, including: A dense, deep-dive into the history and geography of Night City and the greater Cyberpunk world, and plenty of the lore about the Time of the Red.
