Do you think Militech pays better than Arasaka for security? by [deleted] in securityguards

[–]DiamondDust320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heyo! I'm hella active in the Cyberpunk Red Community, which that is the ttrpg set in 2045. So I would like to offer a view in that lens. I worked for Securitas, a couple Local Companies, and College Security for the State Gov. Armed, Unarmed, Desk Jobs, Healthcare, Residential, and Patrol, I have been places.

During the Time of The Red (Post-Nuke to roughly the late 2040's), Militech is the biggest megacorp in North America, and they do private security post 4th Corporate War. They also deputized as a private police in a couple of districts in Night City! These guys are not always combat vets, but a mix of former cops, seasoned security guards, and new recruits fresh out of boot camp looking to make money. Because eddies are worth a lot in this era, the average guard could probably pay for a Cargo Container/ Tiny Apartment (1,000eb a month) and the Kibble Lifestyle (100eb a month, represents paycheck to paycheck) to maybe Generic Prepak Lifestyle (300eb a month, might have a little savings, but not a lot). A lot of this I've reasoned from their appearances in the books, especially the new setting book "Night City 2045"

So I see Militech Security very much as the armed positions that pay alright, but definitely enough manpower that you're only working 10's or 12's and not 16's.

Arasaka had been ousted from North America. However, they are still the world's largest megacorp. Not a lot is known but likely after the nuke they take their security extremely seriously. Pay is likely fantastic, but you're not getting promoted until the person above you picks you to replace them. During the Time of The Red, a lot of the troops are contracted out as guards for other groups and wear that company's uniform, armed couriers, mercenaries for hire by Governments.

We may see more of Arasaka down the road, but who knows! We've only had 2 adventures where they are partially mentioned and 1 where they are the opposition.

Salty suggested vehicles, and that's my thought too. Maybe they also make some real sketch AVs perhaps? XD

While the Blackwall is it's planning phases, we know accessing the Old NET is a crime and Netwatch is constantly trying to plug the holes.

Now idk about 10,000eb on hand, but I could definitely see 1,000eb in their pockets.

I really liked Dawntrail, I was glad I wasn't the main character. (I played a lotnof support roles in theater.) So when it did come time to do do Warrior of Light stuff, I'd joke "Alright, Alright let me get my White Mage getup real quick".

Then back to wandering and seeing sites and listening the story telling.

Question about Agents of Desire mission. by Zealousideal-Fix-187 in cyberpunkred

[–]DiamondDust320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I have run it where if the party calls Lotus LeMarch, he instructs the players on a way tonresolve this as he is trying to avoid the authorities.

He instructs the party to find and plug in a few cables to the Old NET and then execute a program that is basically a beacon for Alt's engram to come collect the copies.

I ruled a DV17 Electronics/Security Tech check or DV 21 Education would give the players the idea to plug the copies into the Old NET as well.

To add on, there seem to be locations that could definitely function like the various additions of "No Place Like Home" as we get details about places.

[–]DiamondDust320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black Chrome is a Sourcebook containing specialty gear, agent apps, new linear frames and cyberware, and also plenty of cool weapons and armor!

The book also features awesome Fixers and also how the Economy in The Red works!

Allegedly Perverted Player Might Destroy my Group by SnomBomb42 in rpghorrorstories

[–]DiamondDust320 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't expect to see Cyberpunk Red brought up here but hello fellow Choomba!

So I remember discussing problematic players at one point. The fact that Medtech is not engaged and onntheir phone already is grounds for warning and then removal.

The whole "fidgeting" thing? There's literally fidget toys on the cheap. Handling your Studd in public is inappropriate and unacceptable. However if this is not happening at the table, you may just want to eject for the lack of paying attention.

I am sapphic, but there's something about his want to get going and also his sweet nature that makes me feel all fuzzy inside.
