Hackers & Hustlers

a.k.a Silicon Valley Lasers&Feelings hack

We started as a garage trio with a “great press” as an asset, found a “USB of Bitcoin”, and them suddenly NSA was on our tails, and everything was a blur after that. When the dust settled though, one of us ended up adding new letter into FAANG, one of us became a jungle hermit and one of us stayed in Peru to teach children design and coding.

The system is very lightweight and straightforward (although it took us an embarrassing amount of time to get it right). We played co-op and it went fine, but everyone agreed that guided session would've been better (maybe we should've just grabbed a copy of Mythic GM Emulator).

I myself am a “hacker“ by day and I’ve done my fair share of startups, but I wanted to try the system. One stat, one die (and the most basic one at that), can’t get any simpler than that — and still be a game, not a toy. And yet it allows you to whip up a decent, specifically tailored to your theme, game in minutes.
