What is this section?
The CYBERPUNK 2081 board allows the characters not only to play in canon situations, but also to put their characters in situations that otherwise would not happen, or would only happen off-panel, and sometimes it would be better if there were traces of these as well.
This may be an unfamiliar style to many. This thread type is about the @NPC Storyteller (or the other players if you want) giving you a situation based on the described criteria and you have to react to it with the character. You open a thread here in the discussion section, where you describe what you would like, for example:
- Canon situation, be romantic and funny.
- Or, let it be a canon and horror theme.
- Or, non-canon.
- Maybe, whatever, you leave it up to the other players.
It can be in any other way, given such reference points. And then the player or players write to you and outline a situation. For example, I will write something about the previous ones:
After you receive the situation (if you post in the LFG), you open a thread for it in the Situation Game section and write the story there. Both threads can actually be collectors, so it can be "Char name's situation thread | OOC" and you always write your requests here, the same in the Situation game's section, "Char name's situations" or "Char name's records" etc. And then you don't always have to open a new thread, but everything will always be in one place. But if you want, of course you can always open new threads to every single situation.
These are one-post and solo "games", you only have to write one post for each situation. These can be any memory/experience, blog message, vision, dream, pleasant, unpleasant, horror story, or just comedy and funny. The point is that writing should be fun for you and do not feel like it is work. That's why there is no post word limit here, feel free to write as much as you want about it.
Again, posts can be memories/reminiscences, dreams, visions, diary entries, recordings, or even the character is telling someone, etc. It's up to you to decide what you are most comfortable with.
From the @NPC Storyteller here is an example how you can ask a situation:

- The character meets someone in the most unlikely place who is in a similar predicament like your character, and the dire situation turns more and more into a comedy, while the character and the other person maybe become closer to each other (this other person could be NPC, or other player's character if you want to cooperate someone else in this, etc.).
- The character heard legends and worrying news that one of the gangs are terrorizing the locals. Your character decides to investigate/solve it. However, when the character arrives in the area they figure out everyone in the area are member of the gang, and they don't like outsiders...
- Non-canon, the character wakes up in the morning to find that are have lost their cyberwares (if they have any) or has just gained cyberwares after an unwanted surgery; and it makes their morning and maybe their whole life very difficult? Do they want their old life back or do they accept this?
- Anything, really anything, that only someone can think of. Be creative!
