Hi WindowsDump.

I'd like to use your system to generate some offices for a different FIST book I'm working on. Is that OK and how would you like to be credited?

Hey! Feel free to use any of the stuff in here for your own FIST content. It's licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 like FIST is, so all you need to do is include a link to the Itch page. You can credit me as "Window Dump".

Disks and Daemons is slick hacker-corporate dungeon generator that creates a bustling zone for your players to explore and escape before they dissolve into hapless bytes.

Style: 

  • The computer admin / office / 90's hacker vibe and theme is fully explored and leant into at every opportunity
  • The layout is clear, feels on-theme and like it would be easy to use during a game (I'm really impressed with Typst's flexability)
  • The black/white dice icons and diagrams are clear and effective

Content:

  • The concept is rad and executed brilliantly
  • The hook is clear (love that the stakes aren't immediately world ending), the unique data-loss mechanic effective and the combination of generated rooms and flavourful foes - In 2-pages it creates a clear 'zone' that is both dangerous and has an internal logic that the players could exploit and explore
  • Love an inspirations list
  • Ironically, the concept feels super simple to hack (which is a compliment!), and I'm keen to see how this tech / mechanic could be explored in other settings
