Advice for Cyberpunk RED? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by sbv@sh.itjust.works to c/rpg@ttrpg.network
 

I'm thinking of running a Cyberpunk RED campaign. My group has played D&D together for about five years now.

Any suggestions or advice on running the game? Are there any game play or mechanics tips that would help people coming from D&D?

This is not a game about resource management. Don't view combat as "we should do X combats of such and such difficulty between rests". Focus on obstacles like "if they get inside with guns blazing, the elevators might be blocked" and leave to the players to decide how to approach them

That's a big difference from D&D. Thanksb for pointing that out.

Don't plan how will the gameplay progress, focus on who (meaning NPCS) does what, why. what are their obstacles

That's really good advice.
