DISKS & DAEMONS: Dungeon Generator for FIST
A downloadable pamphlet
The year is 198X. The ARPANET Project connects mainframes housed in learning institutions and defense contractors. Recent innovations in user interface research have developed a chair which connects the user's consciousness directly to a digital world with high-resolution monochromatic graphics. FIST's contact found sensitive intel on a mainframe and can get your mind in, but you'll need to get to the bottom yourself. Be careful: this is a glorified tech demo, and your presence pushes system resources to their limits. Will you find what you're looking for and make it back to your body, or will your bits be crushed?
A pamphlet dungeon generator for use with FIST: Ultra Edition, themed around the proto-internet and early hacker culture. Roll a floor with 9 D6's arranged in a 3 by 3 grid. Use it as a mission or a volatile side quest in your ongoing campaign.
Features include:
- Procedures for generating and stocking floors, 6 themes to choose from.
- A random encounter procedure to add time pressure.
- Risky transmission between floors.
- Digital denizens with exploitable programming and bored sysops.
- Lots of bad computer puns.
Developed in Typst with libre fonts, source code available soon.
