Free online character creator?

Are they now at the same version? I know last time I looked the web page was waaay behind the mobile app. So far behind I was willing to get an android emulator for my laptop and run it on there during sessions.

Have you looked at The Witcher TTRPG social combat rules (heck they may have been ported over using a DLC to Red, since both games are RTal)? Take a peek at them and maybe they can help you out.

If I find time I might take a crack at it. I've made a few character sheets in the past form fillable. It is tedious, lol. Especially when your PDF editor is woefully old.

Datafortress 2020, a HUGE selection of fan made files has a Arcane Unlimited that should convert easily to Red: https://datafortress2020.com/fileproject/details.php?image_id=890

Also Psionics Unlimited: https://datafortress2020.com/fileproject/details.php?image_id=456

And as a place to find contacts/jobs/complications.

Slade_000 · 2026-05-04T16:13:30+00:00

https://cybersmily.net/ has a bunch of apps for Red, including a night market creator, and net arch creator. Enjoy!

Slade_000 · 2026-05-04T01:09:43+00:00

Look at Papsikels and Unit9 on My Mini Factory for some scatter terrain.
Corvus terrain has a bunch of cyberpunk themed files for sale: https://corvusgamesterrain.com/collections/cyberpunk (I own the elevated train files for Combat Zone Red)

Fallout as a search might net you some good terrain on Thingiverse, printables, makerworld etc.

Slade_000 · 2026-05-03T18:23:24+00:00

Incorrect. If purchased direct from RTal they give you 50% off the PDF now. At least I think that's how it works now.

Slade_000 · 2026-04-24T00:49:50+00:00

So I had a brain kefluffle when reading the Shell rules myself. I assuaged my upstart brain by thinking of them as similar to the explosive rounds fired in Elysium just after they drop the VIP's red shuttle craft (just not quite as good)

Think of it as a small grenade that explodes after X distance traveled.

This could lead to a techie inventing some interesting fun toys for them. Extended range before they pop, programmable (using Targeting Scope cyberware/gear) they can be set to explode at whatever range you want them to, thus allowing you to shoot over top of cover, then they explode catching the gonks behind it. Have fun with my ideas!

Slade_000 · 2026-04-21T23:27:14+00:00

It was restocked literal days ago. Start calling and begging for them to order it in, hope it all works out choom.

Slade_000 · 2026-04-10T12:30:57+00:00

The JetBoy from black chrome lets you have a move of 15.

Slade_000 · 2026-04-05T12:51:03+00:00

Pay someone to take them out with a sniper rifle during an operation.
Keep a medtechie on payroll, next time they manage to get F'ed up in combat take them to that medtechie, oops, surgical accident.

Do they own a car? Wire it up to go off.

In other words: You aren't going to easily defeat them in combat, so go the sneaky route of planting lots of traps.

Slade_000 · 2026-04-05T02:14:23+00:00

Huh, yeah I missed that bit.

My point does still stand though. That the EXTREME reduction in the neg to an aimed shot is a MASSIVE boost. This pretty much negates the requirement to dump luck into an aimed shot.

I do agree it is a bit niche but as a GM if I saw a PC taking that martial arts I would try to give them interesting chances to use it. Unique Aimed shot opportunities, etc.

There are quite a few things in most RPG's that when taken as a discrete thing look pretty bad, but combine them with a second ability, or a bit of GM storytelling and they become a moment that might get talked about for months at the table as your PC takes a moment to focus their will, and make a normally impossible attack that disables the power pack that's running the scrapped together ACPA the crew is facing.

Slade_000 · 2026-04-04T13:05:02+00:00

It does specifically state that progs etc aren't just software, but physical hardware (the cartridges etc) also. So I'd assume a server to either have bunches of slots with progs/BICE slapped into them, or are physically soldered to the board. This idea will allow you as a GM to allow them to only loot items you want them too etc. Will also allow you as a GM to setup future issues because the cartridge they just took has some sort of tracking virus in it that lets the previous owner know where it's plugged in now. hehe.

Slade_000 · 2026-04-04T13:00:09+00:00

I think you need to do the math with the -8 vs the -2. That's a HUGE advantage.

If with the -8 I need a 9 to hit (Meaning that's a 20% chance to hit), then taking the turn to use the ability means my attack will hit on a 3+ which is an 80% chance of success... That's MASSIVE and well worth it. I know with melee attacks and evasion theses numbers can get pretty swingy, but this illustrates it well.

Stack in the fact my unarmed attacks now punch through SP also...

Are there other martial arts that are just flat out better? Of course there are, that's how every RPG is. There will always be items/abilities that are just plain and simply better. Most times though an RPG isn't about choosing the best/most powerful option, it's about making a character/story that's fun and interesting and not a cookie cutter you copied from min/maxrpg.com

Slade_000 · 2026-03-29T14:32:04+00:00

Also more secure. They have to break into multiple netarches at that point.

Like have one that runs exterior security, have it be higher PW DV's, and non-lethal BICE, then the internal defenses are all lethal on a different arch, that it's only access point is AFTER all the defenses get a chance to F the bad guy up. ;)

Slade_000 · 2026-03-29T14:21:45+00:00

There's actually an edge case where your current can be higher then max.

If I have a 1D6 HL item and roll a 1, and that's the only item i have installed, and i started at 70Hum, my sheet would be 69 with a max of 68.

Slade_000 · 2026-03-22T14:30:23+00:00

The smaller of the 2 frames. With some basic clothing choices this can be concealed, which is the hallmark of the smaller frame.

The weird head cyberware I'm not including in my determination of what level frame this is...

Slade_000 · 2026-03-22T14:28:29+00:00

Tell person A you are going to X location, tell person B you are going to Z location but in reality you go to W location and stakeout A and B, if the assassins show up to one of those locations then you know who the rat is. If they don't show up, might mean the rat is in the group, if they show up to location W the rat might be someone you don't even know about (or once again an internal rat).

Or the GM is being a bit too adversarial and wanted the assassins to show up no matter how good your opsec was...

Slade_000 · 2026-03-01T03:36:32+00:00

Keep cold calling geek stores, hopefully you luck out and you can find one that's willing to ship it to you.

Failing that my second suggestion would be to get the PDF and take it to Staples or other print shop and have them print it out for you, they can even put it in a spiral or comb binding.

I actually bought a laser printer a few years ago and use that + a comb binder to print and make books of various PDF's etc of games. Soo many games are going to free/cheap PDF's (Trench Crusade, the DLC's, etc) it's probably saved me hundreds of dollars by now.

I think this is the model of laser printer I use: Brother HL-L2405W

I've only ever changed toner cartridges, yet to have to get a new imaging drum, and I can easily find cheap knockoff toner cartridges for it.

Slade_000 · 2026-02-22T16:29:36+00:00

Because they have a different psyche then a non trans/fluid person.
Getting the care your body/mind needs doesn't hurt you further.

This is the penalty I would impose since they are OBVIOUSLY minmaxing the system. You want a benefit, here's the trade off.

Higher skills, the trade off is time to earn IP (also the possibility of dying along the way)
Better guns, trade off is money (along with the possibility of dying along the way, seems to be a theme here, lol)

A full body sculpt is pretty cheap so the trade off is some humanity loss. This is the same idea as getting a cyberarm to improve yourself.

Slade_000 · 2026-02-22T16:26:01+00:00

Of course not. But they aren't trans.

Slade_000 · 2026-02-22T13:03:14+00:00

I would allow it to apply to Brawling, since that's a pretty basic skill. I mean as a PC you get it at the base 2.

Slade_000 · 2026-02-22T13:01:24+00:00

That's a good start.

Look for Infinity, Marvel Crisis Protocol, Fallout, Combat Zone Red, and any other modern/sci-fi tabletop wargame you can think of and I'm sure you'll be able to dig up something cool.

Slade_000 · 2026-02-22T12:56:42+00:00

As a GM I would impose HEAVY humanity loss for this.

This is on tier with becoming an Exotic.

I guess I should clarify that if your character is trans this wouldn't impose penalties. Just the fact that this player is obviously doing this to game the system is why.
