The Gene Hack

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Gene Hack is an addendum to and re-skinning of The Black Hack, a rules-light RPG by David Black. Start there, and then come here for adventures set in science fantasy worlds of mutation, chaos, and flux.

The Gene Hack is intended to provide a framework for a setting that can be adapted to your liking, or created as you play. Your game can be set in a gamma irradiated post-apocalyptic earth; among masters of a universe far away; navigating space dungeons; or even a classic dungeon crawl—just flavor the details to your liking and the mechanics shouldn’t get in the way of your imagination.

The Gene Hack is concerned with quick rules, narrative driven play, and sandbox adventures. Gene Hack PCs are meant to be dynamic from the start, not only realized after calculated complicated advancement. The Gene Hack is not concerned with crunchy rules, skill lists, long campaigns, or limited options.

The Gene Hack has no Charisma and no Class. The CHA attribute usually representing Charisma has been changed to Chaos with a whole new set of rules to let characters try to tempt the unknown forces of the universe. Traditional classes have also been replaced. Instead, characters will be given a Form and a Flux. Play as a Gelatinous Telekinetic, a Reptilian AI, a Psionic Gargoyle, or many other mishaped beings of genetic disaster.

Your purchace will contain the rulebook in single page and booklet format for easy printing as well as character cards and a character sheet. Everything you need to sit down and start playing in minutes.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
