What is VA-11 HALL-A?

　VA-11 HALL-A is, in the words of its creators, a “booze ‘em up about waifus, technology, and post-dystopia life.” In plainer terms, VA-11 HALL-A is a video game–a visual novel set in a cyberpunk metropolis known as Glitch City–available on multiple platforms.

Instead of focusing on Megacorp plots and the jobs of hard-boiled street mercs, VA-11 HALL-A zeros in on the life of Julianne “Jill” Stingray, a bartender at the titularestablishment, as she mixes drinks, interacts with her customers, tries to pay her bills, and deals with the ghosts of her past.

First released in 2016 by Sukeban Games, VA-11 HALL-A presents a unique cyberpunk world by remembering the classic adage, “build it big but keep it personal.” Years later, fans still type away on the internet, analyzing the setting, the story, and the characters with fond geek deep diving.

Among those fans? Mike Pondsmith and the Cyberpunk RED team. If you haven’t played VA-11 HALL-A, we highly recommend it. The game can be downloaded on various platforms, including (as of this writing) Steam, Switch, and PlayStation.

What is Cyberpunk RED?

If you’re coming to us via the VA-11 HALL-A fandom and don’t know Cyberpunk RED, welcome! First and foremost, Cyberpunk RED is the latest edition of a tabletop roleplaying game with deep roots. It was first released in 1988 as Cyberpunk and again, in a new edition, in 1990 as Cyberpunk 2020. Since then, it has grown as a franchise. It is the origin point for the bestselling video game Cyberpunk 2077 from CD Projekt Red and the award-winning anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners from Studio Trigger.

Cyberpunk RED tells the story of Night City (and the Dark Future at large) in the year 2045, roughly midway between the classic 2020s era and the 2070s era of the anime and video game. More importantly, Cyberpunk RED allows you to tell your own stories during that time as your Edgerunners struggle to survive in a world finally rebuilding after a devastating global Corporate War.

To use this supplement as anything other than reading material you will need to own a copy of the Cyberpunk RED core rulebook, available digitally from DriveThruRPG and physically from our webstore and from friendly local game stores across the globe.

Dear God, What is This Thing?

Mixing Drinks–Changing Lives is a supplement predicated on a simple question: what if the bar, VA-11 HALL-A, its employees, and its customers existed in Night City, the central setting of Cyberpunk RED? It examines the bar through the lens of a freelance analyst for Danger Gal, a private detective and security agency (in a format previously established by our Danger Gal Dossier supplement). It also provides information on Hammered Industries, the parent Neocorp of VA-11 HALL-A in this blended universe, and a smattering of new gear and cyberware. If you’re already familiar with VA-11 HALL-A, please be aware we’ve made adjustments to work within the Cyberpunkcanon. For example, Lilim don’t exist in Night City and there is no universal nanomachine infection. Where we’ve had to, we’ve adjusted the reality sliders away from Glitch City and towards the Dark Future so things might look a bit different.
