What’s your elevator pitch? grin

The party will play a bunch of Edgerunners hired out by a conspiracy theorist who somehow has plenty of good eddies, just known as the Silverhand Specialist as they proceed to do various odd jobs and investigate Night City during it's fallout in the Time Of The Red.

From there slowly they'll uncover more and more of what's going on, presuming they don't die first.

So it’s kind of Shadowrun minus the magic? Which isn’t a drawback just trying to get it straight in my head. EDIT: I did a little research and I do see the differences. I’d be in for sure.

Cyberpunk is kinda Shadowrun without the magic.

Cyberpunk sounds interesting, what would I need to have to play?

You really could use some fleshing out on the idea. Like, I can't even tell what it is what you want to do, or what are you looking for in the characters. Your setting, the rules...

That barely passes for some interest check, if I am honest with you.

I doubt using someone else's RP is enough, really.

Wake me up at your own risk.

Yeah. It sounds interesting, but I'm not sure what the concept is.

Not really that. I (may try to) plan to rehash the RP idea of Inter-Versa Loli.

Basically canon characters from various franchises taking side gigs working for a megacorp. Some of the jobs they'll take may be (sometimes) of the unsavory type.

@Nodrog

You'd need a copy of Cyberpunk Red (Though there are methods to find pdfs) and a discord, as the game would be depicted via the TVT forum but all the rolls and such would take place on a custom discord.

[up][up] And you have to sell it, even if it's based on something else. At least to show how this new RP is going to be under you.

I updated more of the story idea. Nothing much for my brain to go on.

I haven't done this in a while.

Regular reminder, that my Postapocalypse/Sci-fi RP Rungholt still has places open for new players.

If you're interested in a detailed setting and nice action, please check it out. I would love to welcome new writers to this play.

Ran an RP in another forum before (Trying to see if it can rebooted) where it's a character crossover consisting of characters from law enforcement background, regardless if it's police/gendarmerie/intelligence.

Something happened and they're transported to another world (Earth) where they have to work inside an anti-terrorist unit as their cover while trying to find clues to how to get back home.

It's gonna take me a bit to familiarize myself with the rules and construct a dedicated questline but I should be able to set up a game for RED.

What would you guys think of a Fallout RP?

I'm not sure if I want to use a pre-existing setting like the Mojave Wasteland or if I should go with an entirely different setting like Chicago, NYC, the Coalfields (my own homebrew take on Appalachia that predated Fallout 76), or Louisiana?

Heck, you could even go full Fusion Fic and have a fictional city like Springfield or the Hidden Leaf Village reimagined as a part of the Fallout universe.

[up]Excellent

Would you prefer a pre-established setting (Mojave Wasteland, California, Capital Wasteland) or a new setting?

These are the settings I've considered

  • Mojave Wasteland
    • Set around the same time as Fallout: New Vegas but the Courier died at Goodsprings. It's up to the players to shape the fate of the Mojave.
  • The Empire Wasteland
    • Comprised of New York City, New Jersey, Long Island, and Westchester County, NY
  • The Coalfields
    • A proper treatment of Appalachia unrelated to Fallout 76. Comprised of West Virginia plus Eastern Kentucky and parts of Southwestern Virginia
    • Set in 2292, well after Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Fallout 4
    • Fallout 76 is declared non-canon for the purposes of this RP

Hmm, well I don't know Fallout 76 really so that's no problem. I personally like the New York idea mainly because I've been there, but either works.

I, too, would be interested in a fallout RP

Years ago, I raised something of an RP concept similar to Silent Storm where we get to play agents recruited to work (overall) under the CIA or the KGB during the Cold War and get deployed on operations worldwide with the chance of changing history.

If anyone wants, who'd be up for a RP set in a hard sci-fi universe ala Children of a Dead Earth? The characters would be playing an interplanetary organization dedicated to hunting down a terrorist organization that caused the calamity of Earth.
