Technoshock

A one-page tabletop role-playing game set in the not too distant future an oppressively corporate state. 

Fight back. Stand up to power. Say no.

UPDATE: "Quickhacks" coming in 2021! New ways to add some more 'punk into your game! Stay tuned!

This game is a simple and quick mashup of several ideas I've had floating around for a while. I wanted to capture the feeling of doing a mission in The Sprawl, edgerunning around Night City, or the general freewheeling in Shadowrun. I also sought to make a malleable single testing roll, meaning less math and less downtime. It's my hope that this scratches the itch of playing in those larger cyberpunk settings and systems, but with a 5-minute startup time. 

You can use this framework to start a group out and see how they play together. A session 0 tool for any of the aforementioned larger ruleset games - giving you free reign to develop the setting and characters as much as you want through play, without needing to know an entire ruleset right away. 

Many thanks to PbtA, 2d20, Lasers & Feelings, Misspent Youth, and others for the inspiration to continue in this medium.
