Hello, everbody.

I'm searching for a setting to DM, that is familiar to Night City from the Cyberpunk series.

What I mean is, what I love about Night City and the stories from there is, there is a huge city with lots of lots of wars.

Companies fighting against companies fighting against gangs fighting against privat armys fighting against police against mercenary and somewhere inbetween is a single mother that get bombed on the way from her 12h shift to home and there her child only get the visit from the police.
And despite the many dramatic individual stories, in the grand scheme of things, it’s like a child burning ants with a magnifying glass.
Into that hell i want to put my players. Either as mercenaries, working for companies. Maybe able to make career there or get betrayed. Or as gang members that fight against others.

That's the kind of stories (with varying degrees of brutality) i want to tell.
The setting, whether it’s cyberpunk or fantasy/steampunk, is secondary here. I can imagine myself in either one.
My question is simply to find out whether stories like that would be possible in Ravnica before I dive down the rabbit hole and delve into the lore and source material.

A bit I read about Ravnica and its guild setting. Maybe they can be the counterpart of the corporates in Night City. But not sure if something like gangs or scavengers do fit into that city

I know im late for this post, but I uses reddit for just half a year. But better late than never.

I thank you, one player, who came in my world May 2024 while I played the game the first time.

It was in No-man's Wharf. I was entering the area the first time. And while I was fighting through the mass of enemies I read the alert that a player entered my world.

In panic I thought I got invaded and that this player wants to kill me. And even as I have seen you, white glowing, I still thought you are my enemy. But all you did was providing light in these dark area and healed me. Even after I attacked you.

It needed a bit until understood, that white means good.

But even now, two years later, I want to apologise and thank you l
