Official rules for sneaking, rather than fighting, through a net architecture are now available for Cyberpunk RED. They are straightforward: a contested Interface check between the netrunner and daemons/dwellers in the arch:

To establish stealth in a NET Architecture, you have to spend an additional NET Action when you Jack In. When you do, you roll a contested Interface Check (Interface + 1d10 vs Interface + 1d10) against all Watchers (Demons, enemy Netrunners … and other entities with an Interface Rank) currently in the Architecture. If you beat them all, you successfully establish stealth and enter the system undetected.

Once the netrunner is in, they need to make a similar check against any Black Ice they encounter:

When a Netrunner encounters a Black ICE while in stealth, they roll Interface + any bonus to Cloak Checks + 1d10 vs the Black ICE’s Perception + 1d10 instead of performing a Speed Check.

Once the netrunner fails the perception check, they are no longer sneaking and normal rules apply.

I'm glad there are more options for netrunners now. I hope RTal adds more options in future.

Yup, like @FigMcLargeHuge@sh.itjust.works said, to get a sense of the scale.

I was thinking doodling some on index cards. Is that cool?

Sure, index cards should be fair game.

 
 
 

When I think about underground cave systems, it's hard not to think about FR's underdark. I (somewhat) remember an illustration about adventurers reaching one end of the Darklake... with no other shore on sight.

 

Now that I look at it again... it may not be 100% clear that the blob in the center is a chute going down. A hole in the ground.

Something more to practice and refine, I guess.

 

Can't help but think that the stalagmites on the bottom left doodle resemble the tentacles from Maniac Mansion.

Very cool.

I was tempted to suggest more room variety, but there’s also so much elegance in simplicity.

Well, you have to start somewhere. ;)

Thanks for the compliment.

Thanks!

I don't have them at hand right now, but they must be barely over an inch on the short side.

Ah, well... if you do end up making a bunch of small maps, perhaps you could share them with us?

I think it’s just because Lemmy (and the fediverse) doesn’t yet have a critical mass.

Before creating !scifi@ttrpg.network I was thinking about creating a community for Traveller alone. But I decided to poll several other places beforehand. Not a lot of people showed interest. That’s why I decided to create a more general community.

I share your need for activity. I really do. I just don’t have much to offer. At least at the moment. I’ve been dabbling with mapmaking lately, but I’m not prolific enough. I have plans, oh yes, quite a few ideas brewing and bubbling, but nothing to show. Yet.

It’s very common, expected really, to have many more consumers than producers in any social network. But I’m still here. And I’d bet a few more are also around. Lurking? (I love that word when used so casually)

We’re listening.

Just a crack in the stone... it's just meant to break the white space. But of course, you can insert a subplot.

Thanks!

Tiny maps are very forgiving. And they’ve helped me improve my skills over time.

[–] roflo1@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Nah. I’m not that good.

Maybe I’m not even plain good, but that’s too lengthy a discussion for here. 😅

Perhaps not with those exact names, but there’s a fix:
