It wouldn’t be a science-fiction setting without someone who works with the machines that make every day life possible or even bearable. This is where the Tech Role from Cyberpunk Red (Amazon affiliate link) comes into play. Mechanics and inventors, Techs can serve as excellent background NPCs (non-player characters) that a Gamemaster can bring in as needed. But if you have one in the game group, your party of players has the potential to overcome any number of issues that can be thrown at them during the course of a session.

There are some experiences you simply cannot emerge from unscathed. Things that, even if you survive, scar your soul and stain the fabric of your flesh. Those who have been lost to the light for too long, and fell through shadow, might find that it is now an indelible part of them. And just as shadow seeks to consume light, so too you will be lost to darkness if uncontrolled.

Of all the Roles available in R. Talsorian Games Cyberpunk Red, the Netrunner is perhaps the most unique archetype. Pulling from sources as disparate as Neuromancer by William Gibson to The Matrix by the Wachowskis, Netrunners are the hackers of the Dark Future, the only ones who can connect their brains directly to digital cyberspace and interact with the various simulacrum that exist in that space. And the Net in the Time of the Red isn’t a nice, safe playground anymore.

In any gaming group, there needs to be at least one, maybe even two, characters that are there to get their hands dirty. The character that thinks Violence is the question and Yes is the answer. In the dark future laid out in Cyberpunk Red, the Solo fits that build. Cyber-augmented soldiers, mercenaries, killers-for-hire…all of the above qualify as a Solo within the urban decay and random violence of the Cyberpunk setting by R. Talsorian Games.

Little AlicePublished about a year ago in GamersBoard Game Review: Libertalia - Winds of Galecrest
I'm grateful to have bought a copy of Libertalia before it stopped getting printed. I saw the original game featured on an episode of TableTop and knew immediately that I wanted it. (It might've partially been because Seth Green was on that episode ... I'll never confirm nor deny.) While the game is complex, I love pirate-themed things, and always enjoy playing Libertalia ... even if no one else enjoyed it as much. (My mom gets confused every time we play, because we leave it so long and then she forgets the rules ... and then ALWAYS WINS!)
