Building a Cyberpunk RED community (sh.itjust.works)

Is anyone interested in growing a Cyberpunk RED TTRPG community?

I really appreciate some of the the posts on the CP:R subreddit, and I'd love to build something like that here.

I've got a bit of content (like my Cyberpunk RED cheat sheet for D&D players), and I enjoy putting together session reviews like this one.

Are you playing Cyberpunk RED? Are you into the Interlock meta? Do you want to try and build an active game-based community here?

EDIT: two responses doesn't a community make. I'll keep my RED posts in the main RPG community. :/

I've played a session once a few years back, but work commitments took me out of the game. I'd like it again its hard finding a group for any game that isn't just 5e or patherfinder

My D&D crew wanted to try something different. I tried for Shadowrun, but they didn't want to mix hitech and high magic. Cyberpunk was the compromise. It didn't hurt that they'd played the CRPG.

If you have a group that's getting bored with D&D, you can point them at my onboarding doc.

Absolutely! CP:R ihas always been a huge interest of mine, I also have 2020 and many supplements but never had a chance to dive in.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I played 2020 a lot through the 00's/10's, but only touched RED twice. Considering the size of the main rpg community, I would go against going in game-dedicated communities.

[–] sbv 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah. It's pretty sparse here. Hiving off into a separate community doesn't seem helpful realistic ATM.

I'm going to post my RED stuff to [email protected], in the hopes that gets some conversation going.

There's also [email protected] which should have some overlap with cyberpunk.

hey i don't really know what growing a community means but I ran a year+ long campaign in the system and had fun with it. we decided to change to shadowrun 5e as they players got tired of the limited options in battle but i have to say i loved how RED did hacking.

I haven't kept up on it, what is Interlock meta?

These are my story beats for the campaign i was trying to format it and release but my ADHD moved on to something else

I was checking to see if there's interest in a Cyberpunk RED community. It doesn't look like there's a lot of folks who would be into it, so I'm just posting in this community.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why just RED? Why not a wider group?

[–] sbv 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Any of the ttrpgs are fine by me - I mentioned RED because I find the subreddit helpful.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just curious, as a former 2020 freelancer I occasionally check in.

[–] sbv 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm totally unfamiliar with any of the other versions. From what I hear RED is a simplified version of 2020, but it happens in the same timeline.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Yes, 2013, 2020, and RED are. I am not certain about 3e as I wasn't a contributor.
