Building a Cyberpunk RED community

[sbv@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](https://codeberg.org/jelta/ttrpgs/wiki/Cyberpunk-RED-Cheat-Sheet-for-D%26D-Players)), and I enjoy putting together session reviews like [this one](https://sh.itjust.works/post/34645789). Are you playing Cyberpunk RED? Are you into the Interlock meta? Do you want to try and build an active game-based community here?

Why just RED? Why not a wider group?

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

[rosswinn@ttrpg.network]

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

[sbv@sh.itjust.works]

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.

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.

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](https://codeberg.org/jelta/ttrpgs/wiki/Cyberpunk-RED-Cheat-Sheet-for-D%26D-Players).

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

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@sh.itjust.works]

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 [!rpg@ttrpg.network](/user/rpg%40ttrpg.network), in the hopes that gets some conversation going.

There's also !scifi@ttrpg.network 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?

[sbv@sh.itjust.works]

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.

Same, even though I still use a lot of splat books from 2020 and just imagine how things would be similar/different in 2045.
