Cyberpunk 2020
Description Players in the game are referred to as "Edgerunners". They are mercenaries, criminals, and specialists living in the metropolis of Night City. The games focus on completing jobs and surviving in a megacorporations and street gangs controlled society. As the global supply chain has collapsed, resources are scarce and players must often rely on black-market brokers, known as Fixers, to find their equipment, weapons, and armor. Cybernetic body modifications are a recurring topic in the game, with the emphasis on the risks of enhancing one's body and mind with. System Overview & Key Features
Core Dice Mechanic (Interlock System) The game uses a Interlock System. An action's success is determined with a a ten-sided die (d10) and adding the relevant Statistic and Skill rating. The total is compared against a Difficulty Value (DV).
Lifepath Generation When creating a character, the player can either roll or manually pick various options from the "Lifepath" tables. The choices made will define the character's cultural background, their family history, romantic relationships, and potential enemies. This is a built-in method of creating an immersive and entangled character backstory.
Roles and Special Abilities Characters are defined by their "Role," which is a the game's class system. Players have a choice between ten different roles: Solo (combat specialist), Netrunner (hacker), and Medtech (doctor). Every role has their unique Special Ability which gives them unique gameplay mechanics.
Combat and Armor Combat in Cyberpunk RED relies heavily on their body armor rather than high hit point totals. If an attack successfully penetrates a character's armor, the armor's defensive rating is permanently lowered by one point. This mechanic makes extended combat encounters dangerous and forces players to consider alternative approaches.
Netrunning The game's hacking rules require Netrunners to be physically close to the computer systems they want to breach. In the setting, the global internet was destroyed, meaning remote hacking is no longer possible.
Cyberware and Humanity Players can install cybernetic implants into their characters to gain new abilities or improve their stats. Every implant reduces a character's Humanity, which subsequently lowers their Empathy . If a character's Humanity reaches zero, they develop a condition called Cyberpsychosis. This generally results in the player permanently losing control of their character and no longer being able to play them.

ROTFRONT Survival-horror

Roleplay focused
Conversation, character and story take up most of the table time.
Newbie friendly
New players are welcome, and nobody expects you to know the rules beforehand.
Survival horror, sci-fi  campaign based on the indie game "SIGNALIS" , played with  modified cp-red meccanics. [This table usses a "fast paced/mono action" pbp format] ________________________________ You will find yourselves on the frozen moon of Rotfront, where the Hayades multi-function maintenance station has ceased communication with the outside world and things are taking a strange turn... all while a mysterious state of emergency is declared. In this campaign, you can choose from a wide range of roles based on the survival horror game "SIGNALIS"—a sci-fi communist dystopia featuring retrowave technology. Your characters can be either a Replika (a biomechanical construct based on a mental pattern) or a Gestalt—an ordinary and "free" Eusan citizen. GAMEPLAY: -Roleplay -Combat and scarce resources: Although most CP mechanics will be heavily overshadowed by resource scarcity, the campaign's survival horror mechanics ensure there is never a dull moment. This campaign may contain: gore, sexual/psychological themes, and—above all—cosmic horror; madness is not a matter of "if," but of "how much." (18+) The campaign's homebrew content includes: -Races and models (Gestalt, Replika) -Changes to cyberware compatibility -Addition of a new weapon type (carbine) -Buffs to automatic fire and SMGs; changes to certain rates of fire -Various exotic weapons -Buffs to certain cyberware -Bioresonance mechanics Billing: of course you will never be asked to pay to play or to continue playng, but donations are wellcome and help me keep putting all the effort i put on the games i run. (A lot, too much probably)

Cyberpunk Red/2020

Im looking for 2-4 players (21 or over)  for an in-person Cyberpunk Red or 2020 game. I took a hitus from ttrpgs, but prior I was a forever GM (adnd 2nd, somr dnd 3rd, shadowrun 3rd and 4th). Narrtive, story, and charector focused. Times and frequency can be ironed out once we get all the players together (ignore the irregular tag on game frequency, there wasnt a TBA tag) If interested shoot me a message with any questions you might have.

Very interested in getting together a group to play cyberpunk, shadowrun, lancer, or perhaps starfinder. Any edition of any of these is fine with me, just looking for some good old dark sci fi gaming. I'd rather not gm but if push comes to shove I could be persuaded. I've been playing 5e for about 4 years and have only one session experience with lancer and with cyberpunk red, but I'm down for something crunchy and tactical. Hit me up :)

Hello! Me and my friends are looking for a gm to help us with starting up a Cyberpunk Red game! We are all very new, with what we were looking at we were thinking solo, medtech, and nomad but unsure otherwise. If you are willing to work with us on discord we will work hard to make the story and everything as enjoyable for everyone involved! I am not fully aware of how things work on groupfinder so I appreciate anyone looking this over to give it a chance and have a great day! (btw I set irregular and no day specified for the PBP)

NoyVye
Greetings, my name is NoyVye, I'm an Italian engineer (21M) who's very much into Cyberpunk Lore, Games and Tabletop. I'm a gun-nut and mecha obsessed fan of franchises like Metal Gear Solid, Forever Winter and, of course, Mike Podsmith's Cyberpunk. I enjoy creative writing, drawing and sometimes voice acting (but I'm not professional XP). Looking for either: A group to play Cyberpunk with as a player, I don't mind how big or how small. A GM for a 1-on-1 solo game. A fellow GM to perhaps trade games with (though I'm not as enthusiastic about that as I have been forever GMing for a while.) Mandatory requirements: I do not like doing voice games, only PbP, furthermore I only interact with 18+ players/GMs. Minimal age requirement is 19+, but closer to my age (21) the better. Optional requirements (further things I am comfortable and would like to do, but not at all required and easily ignored): comfortable with NSFW themes and Ero play (keep in mind I am a M/Fb player with a Fem/Fb leaning), GM with a liking to combat. How to get in touch: DM me, always available. I prefer to use Discord.
