Cyberpunk Red: Will You Survive Night City?

Hey everyone, thanks for giving this a read and for your consideration, first and foremost. This is a project of mine that I wish to explore, using a collection of rules and revisions to RED from the last few years as a DM or player in other games and living communities. I want to find a group of players willing to put these all together to establish a healthy and enjoyable baseline for the game. 

Therefore, while I have been a Paid DM for the last 8 years for multiple groups every week over the years, I want to make this game’s first arc free to play (Donations are welcome but not expected) for the first roughly 8-12 sessions of play to reach the end of the first arc of the campaign. If you want to simply try playing Cyberpunk Red for the first time with a weekly group, want to experience a paid DM without the sticker price, or only have a few months to commit to a story that will have a conclusion to it? You are more than welcome to apply for any reason or intention of play you have in mind, as I want to playtest these rules before I would expect to make it a financial commitment. To apply, one must first fill out the initial form to be considered. (Note: The first form will collect your email addresses, as I have lost very strong applicants due to discord names that are hard to reach, so I wish to avoid that.) 

Next, I will reach out to you with the following forum to build your character, narratively and mechanically, with the additional rules document accessible. If everything looks great and we have enough players, then we shall begin!
Because a Synopsis can be vital to having a great experience, let’s let Billy the Solo catch you up to speed: 

“Howdy, choom, first time to Night City? Well… well… you must truly be out of luck, my dear pal. These parts are a meat grinder for people like you and me, a city where the lights are brighter, and the morals are dimmer. For many gonks, survival itself is an act of rebellion.”
Billy adjusts his Hellbringer pistol and nomad outfit slightly.

“You see… You can try your best in this city during the day… a nice cushy day job that you do your best to get through the day without putting a bullet through your dome. But the reality is, it will never be enough to truly LIVE in these bustling streets. Therefore, most who wish to have a semblance of a life risk it all on becoming an Edgerunner. They come in many forms and skillsets, but they all have the same goal: get dem eddies choomba. Through gigs by fixers, gangs, NCPD, you name it, and someone has someone or something they want or want gone. But… you cannot survive this city alone, so you need a crew… usually they end up a band of misfits that make your day job feel like a blessing in disguise and the end of the barrel more tempting, but believe me, you’ll need them when it comes.”

Billy pulls out a disposable phone and looks back over to you.

“What? You thought cause I have a badass expensive pistol that I’d be carrying some of those wonky ass agents? Nah, I won’t give dem damn corpos my deets and my location at all times. But you know what? You are in luck, choom. I got a gig here that someone like you could probably handle… interested?”

Hosted on Roll20 with voice on Discord.
First Story Arc is Free / Donation Optional - Second arc and beyond, it will be $20 per session. 
Full Build Support: You will have access to all needed content to make your character and a dedicated forum to work your way through to know your character in and out, narratively and mechanically

Low IP Campaign: You will scale slower than normal based on the progression of improvement points. Though there are adjustments to progression to balance some IP spending options, the game will focus on the slow draw, as it is intended for years of play. 
In closing, I want to share some examples to inspire this campaign and give you an idea of what to expect, as this game will delve into the realism of a corporate dystopian city dabbled with anarcho-capitalist elements.
Examples: Bladerunner films, Strange Days, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners & Cyberpunk 2077 (shocker…), Altered Carbon, Black Mirror, Neuromancer, Transmetropolitan, Only God Forgives, The Boys. 
With that in mind, thank you once again for your consideration. As a note, expect both forums to take some time to work through, to ensure this experience is enjoyable for everyone. If you work through the forums and it doesn’t appear to be the game for you, that’s perfectly fine, but I ask that you do not submit the form, as I will only have so much time to give everyone who does apply a fair and equal shake.
