# Hyper-Reality - Session 000 <img src="https://i.imgur.com/5MnfbzA.jpeg"> ## What is *Hyper-Reality*? *Hyper-Reality* is meant to be a multi-character Actual Play of Steve Jackson Games' *GURPS* in a cyberpunk Chicago. ## Who are the main characters? This list will be updated as time goes on. - [[Amber Lu Old Charsheet]] - Hired gun - Velvet Grader - Hacker elite - Riley Dyson - Former spy - Dutchko Hopkins - Winter soldier - Don Testarossa - Arms dealer ## How will you play? This will be a prose-form playthrough done entirely in Obsidian.MD, using the Dice Roller plugin among others. Everything will be Theatre-of-the-Mind, and I'll likely not need Excalidraw or Canvas. However, do I plan to utilize my personal wiki, and provide illustrations/photos where need be. Notably, I intend for this to be a "simulationist playthrough with a narrative bent". Which is to say rolls will be infrequent, and entirely obscured during combat. I've found that writing out the computationally-intensive play-by-plays of crunchy systems tends to draw away from the fiction. ## What am I using to play? These lists will be updated as time goes on. ### Roleplay tools - *GURPS* - *Basic Set* - *High Tech* - *Ultra Tech* - *Savage Worlds Adventure Edition* (first few sessions) - ~~Interface Zero 3.0~~ - *Mythic Game Master Emulator, 2e* ### List of Inspirations - Above all, real life. #### Books - *Neuromancer* - *Snow Crash* - *Last Gamer Standing* - *Warcross* - *NO_COINCIDENCE* - *Nylon Angel* - *Game Over* - *Polar City Blues* #### Television - *Ghost in the Shell* - *Serial Experiments Lain* - *dotHack* - *Sword Art Online* #### Video Games - *Eternum* #### TTRPGs - *Cyberpunk* - *Interface Zero 3.0* #### Music - *Cyberpunk Dead Boy* #### Web Content - My personal wiki, which you're reading this on. - LocalScriptMan - Midjourney Niji You're reading the zerowth session. | [[Hyper-Reality - Session 001|Session 001]]
