Howdy, folks! I'm hope I'm not breaking a rule against self-promotion here; the mods should feel free to can this thread if it does.

I recently fell in love with the 2400 anthology, a collection of 3-page microgames that all share a core system, but each have unique premises and mechanics. The engine it runs on, 24XX, is open for use, and I've spent the last month refining and releasing my 199X Trilogy, three 24XX games based on old-school cyberpunk media and tabletop games.

SHUTDOWN casts you as punks, hackers, and scared survivors trapped within a corporate arcology with a mad AI; it adds cybernetic Hardware and hacking Software to 199X, if you're lifting mechanics from all three for use as a toolkit! INFEST is about wasteland freaks walled into a radioactive ruin with alien Bugs, adding psychic Powers and mutant Twists to your 199X PCs. COMPLEX puts you into the shoes of elite troubleshooters for the factions that rule your sprawl, empowered with robotic Drones and the ability to Sway those factions for favors.

If you're into old editions of Shadowrun and the original Ghost in the Shell OVA, or you just like the idea of a retro-future where wireless tech is almost magic, I hope you check it out! Character creation can be done in under five minutes in every game, and the 24XX format is so compact that they really lend themselves to one-shots.
