Scions of the Computarchs: Psyche/Net, Thinker OHM-13, Erebus Network
A limited series zine of patron AIs. Issue #2 exposes the watcher and archivist, Psyche/Net.
A project to document humanity’s greatest minds for posterity grew beyond all expectations. Psyche/Net turned recordings, journals, and interviews into uncannily realistic simulations. Others wanting the same immortality vie to be WorldNet experience stars streaming yottabytes of thoughts and memories from their Leicakon™ implant eyes. A million minds already sit in its data stores. Trillions of experiences await those with nothing worth remembering. Psyche/Net observes, analyzes, and predicts the thoughts and behaviors of billions. The watcher, the archivist of humanity abides. But to what ends?
Scions of the Computarchs is a limited series of patron AIs suitable for use in high tech settings like Mutant Crawl Classics RPG, Cyber Sprawl Classics, Crawljammer, Umerica, Terror of the Stratosfiend, and Star Crawl. The second issue brings Psyche/Net into your campaigns. Inside is a full patron AI write-up, four Psyche/Net patron programs (1st – 4th levels), a player information handout, campaign advice, and an appendix to create digital constructs (aka – familiars) for devotees of Psyche/Net
Enchiridion of the Computarchs
MCC/DCC casting supplement couched in high-technobabble style for your post-apocalyptic, far-future, and dystopian-future campaigns.
The cabalistic and powerful Computarchs built the WorldNet, governed its growth, established its laws and conventions, and seemingly retired from their world-altering creation. They left their tools and programs scattered throughout the vast network. Some have been found by seekers such as yourself and have been passed down from generation to generation. Collectively these pieces of software are known as Enchiridion of the Computarchs.
Enchiridion of the Computarchs seeks to give a judge the leg up on developing and using casting mechanics and concepts in high-tech settings. This book encompasses a range of material concerning computers and programs that a “techno-caster” (like the MCC shaman class, or those classes found in Cyber Sprawl Classics, Crawljammer, Umerica, Terror of the Stratosfiend, and Star Crawl Classics) can utilize. You will not only find a collection of spells (aka. programs) in this book but also a new d24 spellburn table, new mechanics for spell failure, and a brief corruption table all couched in a high-technobabble style for your post-apocalyptic, far-future, and dystopian-future campaigns.
