i am in love with this very obscure setting and technical supplement for the Cyberpunk pencil’n’paper RPG i just picked up

HardWired is an entirely different setting from the base game, with entirely different rules and history based on a series of books by Walter Jon Williams. what blows me away is its faithful adaptation of 80s and 90s hacking: telcos, modems, bulletin board systems, sysops, and LANs

it even has a fully implemented BASIC interpreter (including file I/O!) called EBASIC that functions exactly as you’d imagine: you write scripts, read them aloud to the DM, and the DM inteprets them in realtime. 😂

@luigirenna it was printed around the time of the first edition, but doesn't contain any edition-specific rules. it's got so many of its own rules and setting-specific stuff that it could be used with pretty much any role playing system
