The Net is a Dungeon

You are coherent data traveling at the speed of light, a digital avatar searching for computerized information.

There is something hidden in the virtual realms, and you shall hack it.

A gray light surrounds you, entering your body from all directions. For a moment you feel detached from all realities, hanging as a recently cut marionette.

In a flash you materialize into your digital form. The brightest dot in the distance beckons.

Netcrawl is a TTRPG about adventuring inside a computer system. Everyone goes in, seconds pass in the meatspace as players spend hours conquering a cyber-dungeon – together.

Instead of reducing computer system hacking/raiding into a series of specialist character class skill rolls, the entire party adventures forth into the computer to find whatever ICE lies inside protecting the party’s objective. The system is inspired by Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG by Goodman Games, but can be used as a stand alone game or as a cyber-sidecar to your current game.
