INTRASOLAR SYBERCEX (ash can)
A downloadable game
18+ only
You need 1 player and 1d12 and 2d6.
This book is a third-party guide for novices to the ISSC (pronounced "icy") scene, intended to give you practice in a controlled environment before attempting to engage real hotties across our solar system. In other words, it's a gamified framework to help you understand sybercex in the year 30XX. If you cheat or otherwise make this experience too easy for yourself, you're just guaranteeing you'll never grow.
Enjoy the process. That's the fun. For some of the people you'll meet, this might be the only way you'll ever have sex with them. If your bodies are adapted for drastically different atmospheric conditions, it's hard to fuck. (Not impossible, but that's beyond the scope of this book.)
Even though sexual technologies have come a long way, the speed of light is still the speed of light. The latency introduced when communicating to another part of the solar system can be on the order of hours. This renders live haptic holosex no different from sending a recording. So a subculture arose around old-fashioned erotic messaging, also known as "sexting" and "cybersex." These people tend to be extremely open to sending and receiving licentious self-portraits and engaging in luscious descriptions of potential timelines where the distance between participants is lesser than it is now. A specialized messaging program called INTRASOLAR SYBERCEX that allows users to revoke an image they've sent and scrub all copies from a device, along with extreme legal consequences for revenge porn, became the main way many people engaged in the subculture.
—from the article, "Loving Mx. Hippo" that exposed the larger solar system to the existence of the ISSC program and subculture

Hi Titan! I'm playing through this and absolutely love the feel of the world you're hinting at here. The tables are lovely, I'm especially fan of your Genders one.
I've got a quick question! When you get to the main game after setup, what determines if you move up or down on a scale? Is it based off of narratively what you engage with, or a dice roll that I'm missing?
Oh that's a good question!! Can't believe I didn't address that directly! Each meter (Lust, Rapport, Momentum, Timing) is its own action too. You can choose to increase any meter by one segment. After 3 actions, Timing goes up by 1 for all hotties you're talking to. Higher Timing will give you more dice for Initiating, but of course if you wait too long you lose them. That's the limiting factor. But now I'm wondering if each move should just increase Timing by 1 every time for simplicity's sake. I just didn't want people to feel too rushed, y'know? Also this is a great catch, tysm for asking! I will be able to clarify that in the next version. Hope I answered your question!
