How to Cyberpunk Campaign for GMs and Players

run by High Shelf Gaming on Saturday, 1pm to 2:30pm Eastern

Cyberpunk Red & similar RPGs provide a unique blend of sci-fi, human struggle, & a place where GMs and players can ask life’s biggest questions. It combines themes of Film Noir detective stories, corporate corruption, gang violence, & technological enhancements to the human condition like cybernetics, cyberspace, & more! Running a game in this is much different than your typical fantasy setting. Join us in this casual discussion between David from High Shelf Gaming, Linda “Druttercup” Evans from Hint Plays AP channel, and Simon of WanderingDM about their decades-long experience running Cyberpunk as they share insights with GMs & players who are new to Cyberpunk RPGs. We will cover your first session, how to keep the campaign going, what themes you can readily explore in the genre, player character death, how to handle the inevitable. We’ll also make time for Q&A from the audience.
