You are coherent data traveling at the speed of light, a digital avatar searching for computerized information.
There is something hidden in the virtual realms, and you shall hack it.
Netcrawl RPG is a tabletop role-playing game about adventuring inside a computer system. Everyone goes in, seconds pass in the meatspace as players spend hours conquering a cyber-dungeon - together.
TTRPGs are a often place for us to directly wrestle with our desires, fears, and curiosities. Netcrawl RPG is a game that can enable us to explore and tell our stories about AI, transhumanism, technological singularity, and humanity's future.
In most games, computer system hacking/raiding is a series of specialist character class skill rolls. Netcrawl RPG presents an immersive VR RPG setting & toolkit that permits the entire party to adventure forth into the computer to find data, destroy corrupt corporations, or free the oppressed and helpless. Looming over the players is the constant threat of detection, opposition from ICE (Intrusion Countermeasure Entities) or, the attention of god-like AIs.
Netcrawl RPG is inspired by Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG by Goodman Games, but can be used as a stand alone game or as a cyber-sidecar to your current game.
What Will be Created?
Cross Collab with Super Savage Systems
Horse Shark Games & Super Savage Systems are proud to announce their Cross Collab crowdfunding campaign on Backerkit. If both projects are successfully funded, Brian Shutter and James A Pozenel, Jr. will produce a new adventure, "Token Collect". Backers of both projects can look forward to weird and dangerous interpretations of coin-op video games from the 1980s like Tron, Pac Man, and more.
