Hypercorps 2099: Thrillville or Killville? (5E)

Hypercorps 2099: Thrillville or Killville? (5e)

A malicious computer virus has infiltrated Thrillville, the Hypernet’s premier theme park. Those leaving the park find themselves permanently changed for the worse with symptoms that range from malignant depression to catatonia or in some cases, death. Digilife© has been forced to pay out medical fees and thus far their own security measures have been totally inadequate in rooting out the virulent code. With little choice left they are reaching out to freelance operators, hoping that gumption and expertise can prevail where hypercorporate might could not.

This adventure occurs entirely in the Hypernet, the ultimate evolution of the internet in Hypercorps 2099. For the purposes of game mechanics, the Hypernet (and servers on the Hypernet, like Thrillville) are treated as other planes of existence. While this brings with it a host of changes (see page 4), it also means that the race, gender, and attributes of the PCs have absolutely no bearing whatsoever on their appearance—their avatar can appear however they wish (or simply how the character looks in real life), though this appearance has no bearing on actual statistics, as users can quickly determine the actual boundaries of another visible user without difficulty.

In the 22-page Thrillville or Killville? adventure module you’ll find:

• Planar traits for both the Hypernet and Thrillville.
• A meeting in the Veranthea: Life & Death MMORPG server to kick things off, guidelines for breaking into the Thrillville server, encounters with the theme park’s rides, a final confrontation with the Thrillvirus, and the repercussions of the operator’s successful mission
