/NET/RUN

avatar RESISTANCE netrunning gear

Your AVATAR is a projection of yourself on the net, and can
resist some data corruption (FRAG) from virtual attacks
or other sources of desync. When you’ve marked both
slots in each level, move to the next one and receive the
corresponding penalty to all of your netrunning actions.
You have a smart device or a Cyberdeck. Using its SOFTWARE or
HARDWARE costs STRESS, representing the need to code swiftly
with frantic gestures or fly through your board to execute commands.
By default, a standard Cyberdeck can store up to 3 software programs, Unofficial CBR+PNK plugin
though the max storage can be increased with a external drive.
Don’’t choose your software before the run; declare that you have one
when you need it (up to your storage max).
