H20 Hydro Hacker Operatives

by Phil Vecchione (Author, Designer), Senda Linaugh (Developer), Chris Sniezak (Developer)

Hydro Hacker Operatives (H2O) is a game of hydropunk Robin Hoods who steal water from the rich corporations to provide it to their neighborhood. H2O is a Powered by the Apocalypse game, but like many similar games (such as Headspace) it has drifted from the core PbtA system by adding on mechanics for hydro hacking and Neighborhoods.

I've played an earlier version of this and really enjoyed it. The ashcan doesn't have the hydro hack mechanics and I am sure those will probably change but I really dig that aspect of the game, which used cards and moves in order to get good, clean water without nanobots from corporations. The setting is cool, I like cyberpunk that takes climate change into consideration. It's an original concept and the war between the U.S and Canada over The Great Lakes and fallout is a great hook. Looking forward to the final product with more history and the final mechanics.

Was a solid and fun game, enjoyed reading this ashcan version found over at DrivethruRPG. com - which also has print-on-demand for the game (which is what I got) for quite cheap!
