Cyberpunk Red LIVE RPG - Part 1 (2020) 

There's having a celebrity DM, and then there's having the literal creator of the game as your DM. Damn.

Yt: cyberpunk red tabletop game. Me: ok cool I guess Yt: Mike pondsmith is the dm Me: you have my attention

Mike Pondsmith running the game he created? This is what I need in my lockdown.

"Does she have a weapon out?" "She IS a weapon!" Welcome to Cyberpunk.

I love how mike pondsmith has been going around various youtube channels DMing his games. if he doesn't dm a cyberpunk one shot for critical role at some point after lockdown I will be upset

I love how Matt is playing his character from “HACKERS” and nobody says a thing about it. I love this stream. Good work Chooms.

It's one thing to play the Cyberpunk boardgame, it's a whole other deal when your GM is the Original Creator.

Mike has such a soothing voice, it's very pleasant on top of the fact that he is the creator of cyberpunk.

Finally a GM STORYTELLER that can command some serious attention from the players.

Having Luke Gygax playing cyberpunk is pretty awesome to see,being that his dad is the father of dungeons and dragons awesome to see him play for sure.

I literally watched for an hour before realizing Matthew Lillard was playing. Dream come true! He's playing as his character from Hackers too?! This is the crossover I always needed and never knew.

"Notice me sempai!" Mike Pondsmith 2020 Wholesome content

Mike Pondsmith playing Cyberpunk Red as the DM with Shaggy AKA Serial Killer and Friends. 2020, What a time for video conferencing RPG's!

Thumbs up just for having Mike Pondsmith, Luke Gygax, and Matt Lillard all playing Cyberpunk together. 😃

i would listen to mike pondsmith read the phone book. and when he finished i would say "when are they gonna make phonebook 2"

Matthew Lillard as "Cereal"... I see what ya did there 😉 #HackThePlanet

Dope to see Matthew Lillard playing cyberpunk!

"She's not heavily, encrypted." --GM *dying*

So I'm about to run my first game which will have some references to Hackers in it, thought I'd watch this first to see how Mike does it and HOLY CRAP MATTHEW ILLARD IS LITERALLY PLAYING HIS CHARACTER FROM HACKERS.

I never thought I would hear Mike Pondsmith say “notice me senpai”

I didn't even notice Matthew until he started talking, hackers is one of my favorite movies of all time, was truly inspiring when I was a kid (over 20 years later and I'm still coding). What a bonus seeing him on this video.

Every time he says “okay” somewhere in the world a small puppy smiles

My heart goes out to Tomiko, getting Team Hyper Combo'd for Cereal's horny crimes.

You can skip the bio break by going to 1:31:10

Pondsmith looks badass with the shades ngl

Watching Gary Gygax's son play Cyberpunk is quite the trip.

Me: oh hey cool mike pondsmith is DMing cyberpunk, cool. Also me: WAIT IS THAT SHAGGY IN THE CORNER!?!?!

i want mike pondsmith to read me the entire cyberpunk canon as a bedtime story

I don't know what it is but I love Mike Pondsmiths voice if he dosent voice at least one character in CP2077 I will be seriously up set.

I feel like pondsmith is gonna ask me to choose between a red and blue pill

I love how much Mike cares about his game

Thank you, Master Pondsmith for creating this world for us.

I ALREADY BOUGHT YOUR GAME PONDSMITH, what else do you want me to buy? You want me to buy the GOTY edition?????? FINE!!!

Fun fact. The name"Cereal Killer" comes from how fast he eats his breakfast. :)

Mike “notice me Senpai” Pondsmith

Mike Pondsmith really has a great way of detailing Night City. Love it

Is Matthew lillard just playing his character from the movie hackers

I’m just one of those dudes that would like to have some drinks with mike and learn about the lore firsthand

Love the character illustrations - as a high school kid I grew up playing CP2020. For my final year art project I depicted my friends who were in a band as CP characters in this style. All I got was blank looks - heh. Hindsight 20/20.

Love Matt using his Hackers persona!

I know Mike P. of course, but... Matt Lillard?!?! I'm 40 and he is still one of my favourite actors, fictional hero (hack the planeeeeeet) and I got excited just seeing him here. What a legend.

Matthew Lillard reprising his role as Cereal Killer is not what I thought I would see, but absolutely what I needed! #HackThePlanet!

I really like how Mike paints the environment that these players will be in. It might be a bit too word heavy and a bit too much info all at once but I think its just something most people will get used too. I guess its a good way to introduce people how to run a game like this from the guy who made it.

Holy shit, Shaggy is playing Cyberpunk now.

Matthew: What is it called? Mike: A tag line. Matthew: Catchphrase! A catchphrase!

My god I could listen to Mike Pondsmith read the phonebook.

I would love... LOVE someone to try and call out some sort of rule violation in a game were the guy who made the game is DMing.

This was a cool time, listening to this, while playing Cyberpunk 2077 on my laptop PC.

I struggled with lillard's face for about 30min just to understand that I knew his face from somewhere and that somewhere is scoobydoo xD

Guys talking to each other in 2045. "Did you hack her dude?" "I hacked her the first night I met her."

Imagine if Mike was creative director of the fallout series. omfg those games would be so much more awesome and actually make sense.

Mike Pondsmith could read out a washing machine's manual and I'd enjoy it. Him DMing the game he himself created is something almost out of this world.

HAHAHAHA, Cereal Killer as in Froot Loops! "We have just gotten a wake-up call from the Nintendo Generation."

I would love to play a game of Cyberpunk Red with Mike Pondsmith as my GM. He is a great gm, his knowledge of the world is astounding, and that iconic voice just doesn't get old.

Oh man, I love that Matt lillard is playing Cereal killer. HACK THE PLANET!!

‘Senpai, notice me!’ This mans a legend

So cool that the Worldsmith himself is the GM.

Maximum Mike just took off his mirrorshades. Shit just got real.

He's kinda a railroad gm tbh. But Probaly one of the best world builders I've ever seen.

Mike Pondsmith must be the coolest nerd in the world. He looks like Morpheus and sounds like Urkle.

2:50- now I want a game set in that corporate war. That just sounds crazy!

Mike has both a pleasant voice and one with gravitas.

It seems like the feel of the atmosphere of Cyberpunk-RED is like a mix between Richard Stanley's 'HARDWARE' and Villenieve's BladeRunner 2049. Just the way how America is trying to come back and start over from the brink of destruction, after the Night city attack. Basically a 'cyberpunk' setting but with a smidge of post apocalyptic atmosphere.

I would love to play Cyberpunk with Mike Pondsmith.. that would be the coolest thing.

Me when this appeared in recommended: "Oh, neat, lets check this out." "Mike Pondsmith GM's? This should be cool." "Oh, lol, the top right player is called 'Cereal Killer'. Hack the planet!" ..... ..... "WAAAAAAAAAAIT A MINUTE." *checks player's real name* *looks at face* "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK"

its great to see mike again i met him at a game con many years ago when my game club was playtesting 2020 and he is a bit grayer as am i but he hasnt changed a bit.

SO, just casually mention Luke without any mention that he's the son of the Godfather of RPGs!

Oh my GOD!! This has gotta be the COOLEST thing I've ever seen in my life!! I Love you guys so much!!

Hey All! Join us for Part 3 tomorrow LIVE on twitch.tv/realmsmith at 9pm ET!

Mike Pondsmith is a national treasure, and in the short time I've gotten into this genre he is my favorite creative artist.

This is awesome, pond smith is just hanging out in the dark with what I assume is an overcoat and dope circle glasses.

I’m working and listening to this and I gotta say. Pondsmith and the cast of characters here do an excellent job of providing good imagery to where I can visualize the scenes in my mind. I’ll be listening to more

Could you imagine Matt Mercer doing a cyber punk campaign 🤞🏽🙏🏽😩

THIS IS AMAZING, its like a guided interactive story than a "game" love it

to quote the great Macho Man Randy Savage OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

omg... what i wouldn't give to have a one shot with M. Pondsmith as the GM. and Matthew Lillard?! Luke Gygax?! so much to love about this

Mr Pondsmith has a great radio voice. An interesting fellow indeed.

great job!! I love watching you play Cyberpunk RED! Can't wait for the official release!!

Any homebrew Mike makes is canon

I knew I recognized Matthew! He played “Cereal Killer” in the movie Hackers! Bro this is mind-blowing, I love this even more now that I got that off the tip of my tongue. *HACK THE WORLD!*

Imagine having mike himself DMing your game, this is so awesome.

Can we for one second appreciate the Mathew Lillard played Emmanuel "Cereal Killer" Goldstein.

I could fall asleep listening to Mike’s voice. It’s perfect for the narrator of the game. He should record audiobooks too.

Never played RPG, but this was nice to listen for a while.

Mike with his mirror glasses... Never show your eyes when you GM a Cyberpunk games, don't let your players read in you through them...

love it!!!! cant wait for the complete rule book to come out

I love how this man is programmed to say "Hmm" instead of "Uhm".. That is a fantastic habit

The entire series is great, but I have to say that my favorite part in this video was around 40:15. I love how Jason was going to say something but decided to let Mike speak, and that decision brought an amazing reaction.

ive just found my new hobby, watching tabletop games on youtube.

I adore Mike so much, absolute legend.

"Submarine comes up, you hit it, you go to your deaths....." LOL, Mike's dead pan humour is great!

I'm surprised you don't have more subs! So happy I came across this randomly

"Is anybody else crazy enough to get in the middle of Matt's love life?" LOL

Wow! It's awesome to see Mike do this sort of stuff!

I have never seen so much power in one location. Gary Gygax's Son, Mike Pondsmith, and Shaggy.

I would absolutely love playing a game run by Mike. Especially as someone new to the Cyberpunk universe that has only read about it.

This video contains too much raw power, Shaggy and Pondsmith in one video... it's unreal

Loving the background music

This is so frikin cool. Straight up inspirational.
