1960 Devolution
A downloadable game
THE GLASSHOUSE. An Enclave full of the brightest and most ambitious minds of the planet. Driven by progressive BIO-tech and the wonders of the Ichor. Now it's all in shambles. A dead dream, stalked by mutants and egomaniacs. And you of course. Trying to survive another day in this neo-genetic nightmare.
This is a hack for Jason Tocci's 24XX game system that is heavily inspired by the Bioshock game series and BioXX: Abscission by correctpathos. The Cover Art of the game is by BEEPLE (Mike Winkelmann). The Text of this module was writen by Ossulgarnen under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license (CC BY 4.0).
In this game you play people who live in an isolated enclave that once was thought an advanced Utopia, but is now a shambling mess full of hazards. Scavenge tech that is still ahead of it's time or use the enigmatic Ichor to modify your body and develope strange powers. Only if your willing to take the risk of unforseen side effects of course ...
Like every game that was grown from 24XX this is an open kit for making your own game. It can be easily adapted to your liking and it is compatible with any other module based on Jason Tocci's framework.
If you would like some starting points for that, here are some ideas:
- Look at how Project Ikaros handles advancement for super powers, to get an idea on how you could modify your Ichor powers.
- Want more Tech-tech than BIO-tech in your game? Maybe Resistors can give you some cool gadgets that you can insert into your GLASSHOUSE.
- If you are looking for more weird BIO-tech, dive right into the otherworldly experience of BioXX: Abscission.
Disclaimer:
Every 24XX game highlights the importance of savety tools and the communication about what you want in your game and what not. This game is no exception in that regard.
The idea of a genetic wonder drug that gives great powers, but is also highly addictive was a core element in the game series that inspired 1960 Devolution and therefore is also part of this roleplaying module.
Before you start playing or building your Characters, please talk about how you all would like to handle that in game. Only because the game series made it your main task to mow down waves of mutated drug addicts, doesn't mean that you'll have to do that in your game as well if you are not comfortable with it.
With that all said, Have fun!

I also recommend you to check out 24XX: Gene-Tauma by zebramatt84, if you haven't already!
The Advantation and Gene-Trauma mechanics are awesome!!!
And they've really managed to hit the Bioshock vibe!
