FAQ:

-You can already dual wield by RAW! Why this?

You can dual wield and attack with one weapon in one turn, which isnt really AKIMBO spirit. This allows you to attack with both, as John Woo intended. It is also FUN!

Main Changes:

-Akimbo is its own 2x skill now and no longer used for Autofire.
-Reduced power creep from stacking bonuses.
-Akimbo no longer can be used for aimed shot. Style over substance, my Akimbo Bimbos.
-Small bonus to autofire, a little oomph for the hail of bullets.

I tried to hit the style from the intro of the edgerunners season 2 intro

Stone is a Cyberpunk Red live-play character. She is a Fixer Solo. Above is my initial pencil design sketch side-by-side the final color render by Bad Moon Studio. Check out her bio here: https://snowcrashstudio.com/stone-arms-dealer/

I've only just recently got into cpr and dont understand why nomad is a role when most nomad characters either are a different role or would easily fit into a different role? Would it not make more sense just to have nomad as an OC trait or like part of your characters story?? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm still new to Cyberpunk Red and have only played 2077

Howdy, Chooms!

Can anybody please clarify (or make simple enough for me to understand) how headshots work in RED? How do you GM them during initiative vs sneak round vs roleplay? And, mechanics-wise, how do I wrap my head around shooting someone in the head at point blank range and they survive due to them having high HP and did not suffer a critical injury? Should I be forcing my players to perform aimed shots in grapple range (1sqr)? I understand, in combat, moving targets. I'm curious if anyone else has any trouble or homebrew rules for keeping headshots (aimed or stealth) cinematic and how I can avoid my players having to "kill-confirm" their enemies.

One thing I've thought about doing is figuring out a way to determine where the bullets hit the target and doing injuries in a much more "medical" way with much more specific wound states. Example: Someone gets shot in the arm and is now "bleeding out"; same with lungs, heart, neck, etc. Even if their above half HP they're still seriously injured and need to start making death saves. Call it the "'tis but a scratch" or "monty python" rule.

Tl;dr: I'm not very confident with combat and want advice for how to not have every encounter end up like "Dear Sister". Another good name for homebrew!

I've just dropped a plot thread with them in mine, I think they're so interesting particularly because they're so mysterious which is a GM's dream honestly. I know there's all the stuff with Mr Blue Eyes etc in 2077 which is also great, but we're playing in 2045 so I'm going for a bit of a city-wide conspiracy vibe inspired by Shivers in Disco Elysium. Night Corp IS the city personified, etc. I'm curious to hear if anyone else has done stuff with them, especially since the lore is quite sparse.

I’m still getting familiar with the tabletop, but it had me thinking who from Edgerunners would be what role, and it kinda seems like it’s mostly solos. Lucy and Kiwi are netrunners, I’d probably call Falco a Nomad since he stands out visually and his driving skills, and according to google Pilar was the tech support, but the rest of the gang? Maine, David, Rebecca, Dorio, they all seem to be solos, as far as I understand the roles. Am I on the right track?

This is in the light of what happened over in a major Cyberpunk subreddit.

I want to say thanks to the mods here, the choombas help keep the Cyberpunk Red community a safe place. Especially for those of us who aren't welcome in many other spaces because of our identity.

I'm glad I can continue to rep a game that welcomes many new edgerunners and screams out against injustice.

Prepping for a campaign. At the start Im going to have one or two buildings under construction, trying to fiqure out a realistic lenght of time that it takes to build them for plot purposes. Knee jerk reaction is anywhere from 4-10 years???

Thanks

If you wanted to build a Body-focused character, like a martial artist or something, isn't it odd that you're better off investing only 4 Body since you're gonna have to borg into a linear frame later anyway? It feels like there's an opportunity cost, a waste of as many as 4 attribute points, if you did the more intuitive thing and hard-spec'ed Body on your Body character.

Please help me find images for weapons and implants. Example in the picture

I haven't played a character in a while as I've been stuck as the forever DM for my party. This dude was semi-inspired by King from the new Edgerunners season and I'm hoping to use him as either a NPC or maybe a PC one day!

So a while back I made a character for an online game I was in (I accidentally left the discord server while trying to leave a different one and the GM ghosted me, I was prob gonna leave anyways bc of all of the AI content they were using), he’s this Yakuza (as in the mob, not the games) inspired character named Ken Hatanabe (sorta like Ken Watanabe, but a play on how the “ha” hiragana can be read as “wa” in certain situations). He’s supposed to be an ex-Arasaka worker who ran with the Tyger Claws in his teens. Basically, he wants to start his own gang, as a sort of Yakuza clan to overthrow the grip that the Tygers on their general territories, and restore more orderly, “noble” codes of operation, as well as to stick it to Arasaka after seeing that they don’t do shit to help the people suffering under the violence of gangs, also because Arasaka overworked his father, who killed himself after his superiors pinned one of their mess-ups on him, costing his father their family’s entire way of life.

Anyways, recently I’ve been thinking of making a new version of Ken Hatanabe for funsies, but I’m torn, because I have no idea what role he should be. Originally, I was considering Fixer, but there already was one in the crew so I went with Exec instead, but that limitation now gone, I’m again not sure which I should pick.

Any advice? I can answer any questions too.

Edit: To clarify, by the way, he’s not really the direct combat type, so while he’s actually very experienced in fistfights and street boxing, he’s spent a couple of years at a desk, so he’s a little out of shape and practice and is so very rusty that in a gunfight he’s at best medium level support for a more combat-ready crewmember to take the spotlight. He’s also the type to get others to do work with/for him, not because he’s necessarily manipulative, but because he puts a massive amount of caution in regards to his own life and ambitions. The only reason he‘d be joining a crew directly is because he doesn’t yet have the power and influence he would need and has to do much of the work himself.

Also, fun fact, if I had to choose an actor to play him, I would probably choose Hiroyuki Sanada in his 30s. I may have a thing for characters inspired by classic Japanese media (I have another Rocker character that’s an Actor, whose likeness is directly based on Hiroshi Fujioka)

I’m creating a whole campaign set in São Paulo, Brazil, one of the biggest inspirations for night city. It’s a whole story with unique characters and events that happen within the big scenario of the country. I wish to make all the content I’m creating available because it’s such a big work and I think it really could be used by more people to make their own campaigns on it. The problem is that it’s all written in portuguese and I don’t really have the time to translate it all to english and spanish. If anyone from Brazil / portuguese speaker is interested and would help, I can share my creations with you.

Hi everyone, i wanted to ask your help for something.
I run my combats on Owlbear Rodeo, it provides with some cool attachments for token like this one.

I wanted to ask if anybody had cool attachments CBRED themed, like severly wounded or mortally wounded. Where could i download them?

I never get to play anymore, and don’t know the lore very well so please excuse any misinformation or inaccuracy’s. But I had an idea for an encounter particularly as a punishment a murder hobo party.

The party gets a job anonymously to clear a gang out of a building. They find it littered with corpses hung from the rafters. The party may notice depending on a perception check (or multiple) that those who have been hung are from different gangs, and some have expired weeks ago while some are still fresh; they may even recognize some of the corpses through a street smarts check as well established and particularly cruel gang members.

Once they’ve made it to the main area lights will come on, they will see just how many corpses are hung from the rafters and any other facet which may support it and must make a sanity check. Additionally, If any manage to make a particularly good perception check they will briefly see the face of the hangman and will make an additional sanity check before the lights are cut out completely.

In the darkness the hangman engages his onslaught upon the party, dropping smoke bombs, corpses to damage and trap the players, and hail pellets from an air pistol to apply debuffs. These may include, random drugs, acid, blinding powders, and blood for some reason.

The players will have to deal with the lack of vision and will largely be unable to target the hangman. He will be able to go down to the party’s level to melee, entangle, and hang party members and ascend back to the rafters to hide or hang players from above at a higher dc check.

This should be largely unfair towards the players, as it is one enemy taking on a whole leveled party. The hangman utilizes every environment edge possible and the party is on his turf.

The doors are locked, and the lights are completely off, unless the party contains a netrunner. The hangman is assisted by a net-runner who gave the party the job, this netrunner is not meant to be an enemy or to be findable by the party, they are only there to assist the hangman and flush out the lore.

Who is the hangman? A poor techie kidnapped and forced to take on a great deal of cyberware against his will causing cyber psychosis. He has taken revenge and hung those who made him into a monster. Unable to stop his blood thirst, but holding onto enough of a scrap of insanity to control who he kills, has decided to take as many monsters to hell with him as he can. He has gone for the biggest and baddest he could find simply fighting as much as he can until one of his targets kills him, hoping they would do so before he fully loses his shit. Unfortunately for the party he’s gotten pretty good at hanging monsters, and for the party’s crimes and violence, has decided too that they are monsters who must be hung. Leading to present mission, having had the netrunner benefactor extend the job to clear the building as bait for the ambush.

Someone please use this, punish your murder hobos
