THE GAME WHAT DOES A GM DO?
A Gamemaster has three duties when running a game:
1. The Gamemaster sets the scene. You explain who and
what is present in a location and the current status
of the world.
2. The Gamemaster plays all the other Characters.
We call anyone in Night City who isn’t a Player-run
Edgerunner a Non-Player Character (NPC), and you
control them all.
3. The Gamemaster adjudicates the rules. As the GM,
it is important for you to know the rules. The actions
of Edgerunners and NPCs alike are governed by the
rules set out in the Rule Book.
SETTING THE SCENE

When you set the scene, you weave a story: Where is this
happening, what’s around, who is present, what are they
doing, and the overall mood. Throughout this Mission,
we’ve included italicized read-aloud text: Pre-written
scene settings for you to read to the Players. Players,
however, can be unpredictable. If they go off the beaten
path, you might need to improvise something. Here are
some guidelines to help.
Offer a thumbnail of where the Edgerunner is, who and
what is present, and what actions are taking place. When
possible, draw on real-life experience. For example, if an

fine, but we suggest running each Edgerunner through
a Lifepath (see Rule Book page 19). This helps cement an
Edgerunner in a Player’s mind, transforming them from
numbers and words on a piece of paper (or the digital
equivalent) into living, breathing characters with their own
pasts, goals, and styles. Together, the Edgerunners chosen
by the Players form a Crew: a team of street mercs. Take
a moment and guide the Players in a discussion about the
Crew. Have they worked together for long? Or were they
put together by a fixer for this particular job? It is up to
you, the GM and the Players together to decide if the Crew
is a group of chooms who have each other’s back, or are
new to each other and still learning how to work as a team.
Note: The Edgerunners already have assigned names
and images, but you’re not stuck with them. If a Player
wants to change a name, look, or gender, let them! We
do recommend not doubling up on Edgerunners, though
(e.g., two Solos or two Netrunners). Giving each Player a
chance to shine via their specialty makes the game more
fun for everyone!

NAME Adam Smasher

IMPORTANT CYBERWARE
Neuroport
The central control system for all of Adam Smasher’s cyberware. Includes a holophone.
Self-ICE x3
To Quickhack an Adam Smasher, a Netrunner must first Breach 3 Passwalls (DV10).
Self-ICE Regenerator
At the beginning of Adam Smasher’s Turn, any Netrunner Jacked Into Adam Smasher’s
Neuroport Net Architecture is automatically Jacked Out and his Self-ICE Passwalls regenerate.
Communications Receiver w/ Descrambler
As an Action, Adam Smasher can make a DV13 Electronics/Security Tech Check. If he succeeds, he
can listen in on any nearby (within 50 m/yds [25 squares]) holo or radio communications.
Jumpboosters
Jets in Adam Smasher’s legs allow him to ignore movement penalties for jumps.
Armor Regeneration Matrix
The first time Adam Smasher’s HP drops to 40 or lower, his armor regenerates back to SP 18.
FBC Body
Adam Smasher’s full borg body allows him to ignore the effects of Choke Actions and Critical
Injuries (including Bonus Damage). He also doesn’t have to breathe, eat, or drink.
Berserk Implant
Adam Smasher does not suffer negative effects when Seriously Wounded or Mortally Wounded,
though he must still make Death Saves if someone manages to knock him down to 0 HP.
Adam Smasher’s Sandevistan

Adam Smasher is fitted with an experimental Sandevistan. It is always on during combat. As a
result, he can take an extra Move or Attack Action on his Turn. No, this doesn’t cause Humanity
or Hit Point loss for Adam like it did David. Adam Smasher was born different.
A Note for Cyberpunk RED GMs

The above list only reflects the cyberware crucial for play using the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Mis-
sion Kit. If playing Adam Smasher using Cyberpunk RED rules, add in Low Light / Infrared / UV x2,
Anti-Dazzle x2, Hardened Shielding for all cyberware, and a Level Damper plus whatever else you feel
he needs. As for what type of FBC Body he has? It is unique. He’s his own brand of chrome god.
