2400: Resistors
 |
In New Coke City¸ you gotta jailbreak your cyber-arm if you wanna give the finger. The corps own it all¸ including the cops. Most people don't bother to resist. You aren't most people.
Resistors is a super-slim¸ self-contained¸ lo-fi sci-fi RPG about activist hackers struggling to make a difference and get by in a cyberpunk dystopia. It's 3 pages and a cover¸ fitting on two sides of a letter-sized page. Compatible with the free Inner System Blues . (Pick which one you want to use for skills¸ finding jobs¸ and advancement¸ and the rest will work fine.)
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.
