Time to chip the fuck up choom. ;D
Excellent points! Thanks for providing so much.
I imagine 'the punks got older and bought in' idea is probably true for a significant number of people. Certainly seen it happen.
I imagine it's a badge of honor to be demodded in such a way.
I, too, volunteer. :D
Shadows of Doubt is a detective noir 80s-esque cyberpunk game that I really enjoyed. Setting aside, it's an exploration in procedurally-generated-everything it seems, each person's 'city' should be different than the next.
I hear some of the newer Shadowrun games are good; in particular I keep hearing about Shadowrun: Dragonfall. But I can't speak to it directly and the addition of orcs/elves/magic puts some folk off.
Not quite -punk-, but Uplink is a fun game about global scale hacking ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/1510/Uplink/ ). Does not require any actual knowledge of hacking and teaches all of it's mechanics in game, so don't worry about learning curves too much.
What went well?
Being brand new to the fediverse, finding this place, and coming up to speed on the basics of how it all works feels like a good win to me.
What didn’t go well?
Still not paid to breathe, gotta keep grinding for the man.
Is there anything you’re proud of?
Are you asking me this on PRIDE month? ;D jk, not really a whole lot. Pretty happy with how my CPRed table is going. Still need to pump some more content.
Is there anything that you are happy or excited about?
September is gonna slap for all the games that are coming down. Armored Core, Cyberpunk, Starfield, just to get started.
Did you discover or set up any new communities this week?
Found this one; also started a 'magazine' on kbin.social for cyberpunkred, but it doesn't seem to be getting any traction yet. YET. Not really intended on being a community so much as a GM-tool / media / general-resource for players.
Thanks for getting the conversations going. :D
I really need to lean into it more, but it's fun the things you learn by diving into HackTheBox.eu or similar services.
I once got popped for triple digit speeds and discovered what the American jail experience is like as a result. I felt pretty punk for that, but it was probably just a bit silly. ;D
Too many hobbies and ex-hobbies to list, most with a touch of transgressive attitude.
Depends on your setup, but there are some pretty nice FragMaps available for free as a Foundry module: https://foundryvtt.com/packages/fragmaps-free
The official companion app isn't too bad: https://cyberpunkred.com/#/ Easy way to generate characters and mooks. I believe the paid mobile version has some functionality for random encounters and some lore stuff.
Make sure to check out the 'DLC' available on the main website: https://rtalsoriangames.com/downloads/
There are some screamsheets in there that might help frame a one-shot or your first game. There's also a few one-shots in the main book.
If you're looking to establish something longer, the Tales From the Red book has a lot of dope multi-session missions in it.
Highly suggest JonJonTheWise on youtube for content and rules discussion.
Can dump more, so if you have any questions, hit me up. :D
How are you building it? Is it interactive?
Looks great, for sure!
I use a mix of Discord and Foundry to run my table. I host Foundry in AWS, voice comms in Discord, and a mix of a discord bot and instance-hosted media for music ( I use the media hosted on the Foundry instance for specific moods, use the discord bot for more unprepared/random music ).
I use a mix of pre-made maps and hand-made maps depending on what my duders are up to and where I'm going to drive them next.
Haven't heard that one before. What phase of the game are you in ( as in, what is your story quests right now )? What areas are killing you?
