2400: Data Loss
 |
You died. Each death steals more of your mind¸ obscuring why you came to this world¸ how it fell to ruin. You recall only a vague hope: Reclaim this planet from the metaminds - or escape it.
Data Loss is a super-slim¸ self-contained¸ lo-fi sci-fi RPG inspired by "soulslike" video games like Dark Souls and The Surge . It's 3 pages and a cover¸ fitting on two sides of a letter-sized page¸ with rules based on the free 24XX SRD .
What is 2400? 2400 is lo-fi sci-fi. It's centuries in the future¸ and it's a decades-old modem that screams like a dying robot when it connects to the net. It's a space ship with an FTL drive¸ artificial gravity¸ and a flickering display you gotta tap a few times to see the jump coordinates. It's hacking something together with whatever cheap materials you have on hand¸ ignoring the rules until you need them¸ banging out something that might not sound finished¸ but definitely sounds fun. It's a series of micro RPGs that might all be in the same setting¸ unless they aren't.
