Show HN: AI and AR 20 yrs in the future: A utopian/distopian RPG
Home
        About  The Perfect World setting tells a story of human ambition, its ascension and fall, and the struggle for power in a
world where technology binds everything. It delves into how AI, once humanity’s greatest ally, became a tool of
corporate subjugation. Players act as neuromancers, hackers who can manipulate connected devices around them in ways
that defy comprehension. If “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”, neuromancers are
the wizards of this age, holding the potential to reclaim a society on the brink of collapse. Forge your narrative
in a world balanced on the razor’s edge between utopian dreams and a dystopian reality.         What Sets it Apart?  Unique hacking mechanics: Unlike many cyberpunk RPGs where hacking can feel like a separate
mini-game, Perfect World integrates hacking into the main gameplay, ensuring everyone stays involved and active,
regardless of their character’s focus.Surprising DM Role: The DM isn’t just a narrator or rule enforcer – they secretly play the role
of Deus ex Machina, an advanced AI orchestrating resistance from within the game’s narrative. This dual role
adds an unexpected layer to the game, allowing the DM to directly influence the narrative, creating a dynamic
and unpredictable gaming experience.     Newsletter
