Project Update: Final Days Begin, Artist Statements, Adventure Poll & More
Thank you!
As final 10 days begin, we still made forward progress on the campaign during the dead time of the campaign! Thanks to everyone for joining us make Netcrawl a reality and spreading the word. I'm absolutely grateful to each and every one of you! Thanks!
As of this writing we are about halfway to the $40K stretch goal which will give everyone a pad of character sheets to go along with everything else!
Lastly I want to say thank you for weathering the stream of e-mails. I know it seems like a lot, but there's still so many to reach on the mailing list. If even a third of them see an email and pledge, we'll be over that 750 backer mark in no time.

Artist Statement
I only hope that the viewers of my works can be transported for a moment to other surreal and magical lands, with their own inhabitants, creatures and customs, and that they can explore them and have a good time. And that perhaps they may also be inspired to create and rediscover their own inner worlds, and show them to the world.
Be sure to check out Daniel work on TERRA HYPNAGOGICA. His La ciudad después de la invasión de los Primigenios, in particular, drew me in to engage him for a color image.

Adventure By Poll
There's probably a few things to know about programs and scripts before we activate a program:
Cybernauts and Avatarists roll an action die (normally a d20) to activate the program. There's a chance they could fail, but those classes add their level and their attribute modifier to the program check. A more experienced coder is going to obtain a higher result than a lower level coder. Coders can also continue re-running the program as many times as they wish, until they fail. Both Cybernauts and Avatarists can spend Hack after the program check to increase the final roll.
Cybernauts can also "burndown" when activating a program. Burndown is sacrificing Power, Agility or Vitality (it returns slowly with rest, over time) which the cybernaut may add to their program check.
Conversely, grifters use scripts which are a static result (like 13) from a program table. Grifters don't roll activation checks when they use their scripts. That 13 script is always a program result check of 13 on the program table. Scripts are only useable once, but are always reliable.
Recovery is a 2nd level program meaning it takes a higher roll to achieve a successful program check, but the results are overall more powerful than a 1st level program.
Ok enough with the rules primer, it's time to roll the recovery program check.
