2400: Emergency Rules

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $2.00

2400 is a series of lo-fi sci-fi micro RPGs. Each is a self-contained game that fits on 3 pages and a cover, two sides of a letter-sized sheet of paper. They're all in the same setting, unless they aren't. And they're all are built with the same rules as the free 24XX SRD.

These are the Emergency Rules. 2400 is designed to be ultra light, super quick, and extremely open to interpretation. But what if you need more? These (very slightly) expanded rules give a little more context for players and GMs who might be more used to games with more detailed rule sets. They explain why there aren't any hit points, how combat could be (but isn't necessarily) run blow-by-blow, and why it sometimes makes sense to succeed on a 1. And they make expllicit some things that a lot of games assume you should know. (Like: "Come up with excuses to go adventuring and face danger together. If your character wants to escape to safety and retire, let them. Then make a character for this game.") Give us a shout if there's anything we ought to add.

What is lo-fi sci-fi? It’s centuries in the future, and it’s a decades-old modem that screams like a dying robot when it connects to the net. It’s a space ship with an FTL drive, artificial gravity, and a flickering display you gotta tap a few times to see the jump coordinates. It’s hacking something together with whatever cheap materials you have on hand, ignoring the rules until you need them, banging out something that might not sound finished, but definitely sounds fun.

Hello! It looks like in your previous update to this product you accidentally added files for a different product instead. I own both already, but I imagine you want to keep the products separate (and also I'm curious if there was supposed to be an actual update to this product, of course).

That's correct, thanks! I thought I fixed that, but maybe it didn't take.

You're welcome!

I'm still seeing the files for the other product, but it could be just taking a moment to go through. I'll check back later.

Weird, I deleted those weeks ago. Well, as long as you also get the files from Emergency Rules, no big deal. (Any updates to the other game will go through that game’s page, though, of course.)

Yeah, it's weird that the other product's files are still there.

However I am able to get those updated files also through its actual product page so that's fine. Thanks for looking into it!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
