Yo choombas and choombettes! It’s your favorite neighborhood slacker and edgerunning misfit, Dead Language, and I come bearing great news! (Which is a rare commodity here in Night City)
It’s been about three weeks since R. Talsorian Games released their highly anticipated Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Mission Kit for CP Red, and today, as if Christmas came early, the team surprised everyone by announcing the release of its very first DLC (that’s “Downloadable content” for you net noobs out there) titled “Karaoke Nights.”
[ WARNING: We are about to do a quick overview of what’s in the DLC. The R. Talsorian team plans on doing a live play through at Gen Con, which takes place this year in Indianapolis, beginning on August 1. If you plan to attend, you may want to skip this read. ]
The mission begins with players receiving a job from a fixer named Regina Jones, who has tasked them with retrieving a data shard that was misplaced by some corpo at a dive bar in Northside called Bouncing Benny’s.
Sounds simple enough, right? Wrong – as the RTG team puts it, “there ain’t no such thing” as an easy gig in NC.
The gang is quickly met with a few twists, turns, and roadblocks – most notably a group of Maelstrom gangers who have shut down the bar to throw a birthday party for one of their own, and the crew sure as hell aren’t invited!
I won’t give anything else away, but it’s safe to say that this mission seems like a damn good one, and we here at CNU are definitely looking forward to running it.
According to Rob Barefoot, the Media Ambassador for RTG, that DLC has everything a game master needs to run it, except for pregens, which are included in the Mission Kit.
If you happen to get a chance to run this, be sure to let us (and RTG, of course) know what you think! And be on the lookout for casting calls so you can join us in the near future for a play through of this and other CP campaigns, available in our CNU Discord server.
Until next time, chooms,
– DL
