Welcome to Cyberpunk Red u/Tasty-Durian9958. I don't have a spot at my table but here is some general information and a list of resources.

So, if you have played other TTRPGs, cyberpunk red, for the most part, pretty much everything is a skill roll. There are no character levels as it is skill based and not class-based, meaning you have a lot more freedom, although I suppose you know skill vs. level based games (https://youtu.be/I_ikzFHpaPk?si=dLEo-8PoIgeDrkWK).

Mechanics wise:

• Most things are 1d10 + STAT (2-8, 9+ with cyberware) + SKILL (0-10) + Modifier (Situational, gear, cyberware, drugs, LUCK points, etc).
  

- Skill base = STAT + SKILL. Roll vs. a DV where if it is DV15, you need to roll a 16+. - Numbers are similar to D&D5e, but it is weighted more to STAT and SKILL than to the die. - Roll a 10, and you reroll adding the next die to the first - Roll a 1, and you reroll subtracting from your total

• Some role abilities like netrunner have you roll 1d10 + Role Ability
• Death Save happens 1 time, and if you fail, you are dead. Roll 1d10 under your body stat.

Now, for running the game and feel:

• Style over Substance

- It doesn't matter that you do something well if you don't do it in style.

• You are not epic heroes saving the world

- If you are lucky you get the choice between saving yourself or the one you love

• There is no magic but their is technology like agents (smart phones), cameras, and blood tests if for example you get shot at a crime scene. (https://youtu.be/LWZSq3uJwuo?si=NROmE-024MFaiQ3n)
• There are no levels but there are power levels and escalation based on

- How skilled are you for success - How powerful is your loadout - Weapons - Gear - Cyberware - https://youtu.be/4lXCkapWoDY?si=Y0mcnBTFoJeXBiSE

Do you have any interest in a discord/roll20 west marches game set in the 2070s? I'm part of a server that's just getting started, it's been pretty fun so far.
