Description

The world as you know it, early 21st century Earth, is nothing but a lie. In truth, it is a simulation called the Terminal, a lie to keep humanity under the control of the Robot Authority. In the Wake, the real world, pirates trawl the seas and plug back into the simulation. Inside they battle the system's agents and try to free other restless sleepers.

This a Digital Pirate Action TTRPG for 3-7 players, including a GM, built on a focused system to tell exciting and epic stories of grave consequence. The players act as members of a daring pirate crew. They will walk the path of Omen, the latest in a cycle of reincarnation, someone with extraordinary power and a sign that this iteration of the Terminal is close to collapse. Total system crash is coming.

The crash could spell disaster and death for pirates, or an opportunity to claw back their autonomy. Shatter the nightmare, take back your life, crash the world.

"Terminal is a salt-encrusted love letter to The Matrix and its technognostic brethren, pitting pirate hackers against a controlling computer – and also against the cycle of uprising, crash and reset that traps their world. The game's setting – from the free pirate city of the real world to the virtual palaces of the Terminal's inhabitants – jumps off the page with vivid art and writing, and the system is laser-focused on who your crew really are and what they'll sacrifice to get the ending they want." - Minerva McJanda (Voidheart Symphony, Rhapsody of Blood)
