hiya, here are some stray notes i took while reading!
when i read the original hackers pamphlet for mothership-- or i guess more accurately, started to read it-- i bounced off pretty quick, never been too much of a fan of hacking in ttrpgs... figured, leave it to someone more into it. conversely, reading yours, i immediately got the cat and mouse (sorry, another cat) of it all. compelling, high-stakes, easy to wrap your head around. when the rest of the party is just waiting for an alternate reality scene to play out, i want them to be having fun too, and this is visual enough that i could picture the other players cheering and groaning as the results play out!
rotten rico is just so fun to say. rotten rico.
lemme tell ya i decided to roll one out as i read to understand it better, and the string of crit failures i started with sure made it annoying haha. i just started making up successes. like a REAL GM
love it. you've finally sold me on in-game hacking (haxxing?). fantastic work. praisies NOT subject to changies.
