  The newest addition to 2400 is Nuclear Family — a game about braving the wasteland with your misfit buddies in a gonzo, post-apocalyptic future. ( And my attempt to answer folks who wonder whether a... Continue reading

  
• If you JUST need the NEWEST game…
  July 17, 2023 by Jason Tocci

  In case you just need to download the latest 2400 game and not all the bundled games you already downloaded a year ago, Junior Hybrid Battle Cryptids files are available as a separate download. I'm lo... Continue reading

  Check out the newest addition to 2400, Junior Hybrid Battle Cryptids — a game about anthropomorphic animals protecting the innocent, investigating strangeness, and crushing it at dance-offs. This on... Continue reading

  
• Terminology update
  April 20, 2022 by Jason Tocci

  11

  The latest file upload includes a number of terminology updates across multiple 2400 games. I strongly suspect this will matter to very few people; this is not a terminology-heavy game by any stretch... Continue reading
• Battle Moon v1.0
  March 26, 2022 by Jason Tocci

  8

  Battle Moon is a 24XX combat rules primer disguised as a patently ridiculous (but still quite usable!) one-shot scenario. Create a black-belt vidcast celebrity with a bandolier of plasma grenades, a r... Continue reading

  
• Legends v1.0
  March 19, 2022 by Jason Tocci

  10

  Legends is the one (and likely only) “lo-fi hi-fantasy” entry in the 2400 series, an unabashed homage to D&D that might actually fit into a unified 2400 setting (if you squint hard enough). This p... Continue reading

  
• Xot v1.0
  March 08, 2022 by Jason Tocci

  9

  In Xot, players take on the roles of settlers crash-landed on a world that forces them to adapt. You might play an undying priest with an aversion to gravity, a sharp-eyed mystic with cameras for eyes... Continue reading

  
• Resistors v1.0
  March 04, 2022 by Jason Tocci

  #cyberpunk

  Resistors is a game about activist hackers struggling to survive and make a difference in a hyper-corporatized cyberpunk dystopia. I think of it as " Leverage with magic spells," except the "magic spe... Continue reading

  
• Habs & Gardens 1.0
  March 01, 2022 by Jason Tocci

  5

  Habs & Gardens is the very first (and probably only) hi-fi sci-fi 2400 microgame. (This just means I wanted to use a different typeface and some public domain NASA art for a change.) This game sees pl... Continue reading

  
• Version++
  March 01, 2022 by Jason Tocci

  7

  Every 2400 game has been updated to… Include a plain-text version Remove hyphenation in PDF versions Clarify phrasing in rules for rolling, advancement, and GMing Individual games have received addi... Continue reading
• Data Loss v1.0
  February 23, 2022 by Jason Tocci

  12

  #soulslike, #rpg, #ttrpg

  Data Loss is a soulslike sci-fi TTRPG scenario about waking up in a cloning station on a ruined world and trying to figure out what the hell happened. Soulslike TTRPGs are kind of an obsession of mine... Continue reading

  
• Codebreakers v1.1
  June 28, 2021 by Jason Tocci

  4

  In what may be my quickest turnaround from uploading a new game to uploading a new version, I've just posted a significant update to Codebreakers (just released late last night). This version reworks... Continue reading

  
• Codebreakers v1.0
  June 28, 2021 by Jason Tocci

  5

  I thought I might be done updating 2400 for a while, but couldn't stop thinking about Codebreakers: an unabashed homage to The Matrix. You play hackers, investigators, and innocent bystanders who stum... Continue reading

  
• Orbital Decay v1.3
  February 01, 2021 by Jason Tocci

  5

  Version 1.3 of Orbital Decay updates the stress effect table and advancement rule. Now all stress effects are fleeting, "dread insights" are much more likely, and advancement is simply based on comple... Continue reading
• Art credit clarification
  November 23, 2020 by Jason Tocci

  1

  Updated files because games previously said art is "CC BY Beeple," which is not strictly accurate. Fortunately, he says he doesn't mind people using it... Continue reading

  November 15, 2020 by Jason Tocci

  7

  Inspired by Roadside Picnic and Annihilation, Zone is a game about scavengers, scientists, and soldiers exploring an area on Earth where the laws of nature appear to have been broken. If that sound... Continue reading

  
• The Venusian Job v1.0
  November 10, 2020 by Jason Tocci

  4

  The Venusian Job is my 2400-length homage to heist movies and television, especially Ocean's Eleven, Leverage, and a surprisingly memorable, decade-old trailer for a sci-fi series that never got made... Continue reading

  
• Tempus Diducit v1.0
  November 09, 2020 by Jason Tocci

  5

  The tenth 2400 release is Tempus Diducit, an extremely transparent excuse to mash all the 24XX Jam games together, and to make a bunch of really weird backgrounds in a singularly stressful week. I'm... Continue reading

  
• Emergency Rules v1.1
  November 04, 2020 by Jason Tocci

  3

  The latest 2400 upload isn't a full game, but it's actually the first 2400 document I ever wrote: Emergency Rules is a long-form version of the rules, GM principles, and player principles. Of course,... Continue reading

  
• Orbital Decay v1.0
  November 02, 2020 by Jason Tocci

  7

  You call it two days late for Halloween, but I call it over 300 days early for next Halloween: Orbital Decay, a space-horror scenario generator, is now available. This one has a few firsts for a 2400... Continue reading

  
• Armor updates
  October 26, 2020 by Jason Tocci

  Uploaded a new ZIP with updates to ALT, Cosmic Highway, Eos, and Xenolith, to correct an error in how armor was presented. Thanks to DiscoSoup for catching the mistake! Previously, upgraded armors w... Continue reading
• Project Ikaros v1.0
  October 19, 2020 by Jason Tocci

  6

  Project Ikaros is now available—the seventh 2400 microgame. In terms of rules material, this one expands quite a bit upon the "talents" introduced in Eos, with a bunch more psychic powers to choose... Continue reading

  
• Eos v1.0
  October 16, 2020 by Jason Tocci

  3

  Another 2400 microgame, Eos, is now uploaded. This is my second Mass Effect homage, and I hope it fills in some of the gaps left by Xenolith. Given that in other 2400 games aliens only come up as r... Continue reading

  
• CTRL is now ALT
  October 10, 2020 by Jason Tocci

  1

  In addition to the release of Exiles, the latest upload had some other changes of note. I'm separating this stuff out into its own post because I wanted to make sure that the first of these changes... Continue reading
• Exiles v1.0
  October 10, 2020 by Jason Tocci

  3

  The fifth 2400 microgame, Exiles, is up. I don't know how to describe the genre, but I'll say that I've really been digging Ultraviolet Grasslands and Acid Death Fantasy lately. The game sees th... Continue reading

  
• Xenolith v1.0
  September 27, 2020 by Jason Tocci

  2

  Xenolith is a microgame about a multi-species crew responding to crises caused by the ancient relics that made galactic civilization possible. It is an unabashed homage (but in no way officially conne... Continue reading

  
• Inner System Blues 1.4
  September 07, 2020 by Jason Tocci

  1

  Just uploaded a very minor update to Inner System Blues for a couple tiny wording choices and a correction to the cover so the text looks more like I intended. Just in case I'm not the only one who's... Continue reading

  Today sees the second 2400 game, Cosmic Highway, a game of space truckers trying to keep their ship in the air, inspired by Firefly , The Expanse, and the Mothership RPG. Working in this tight form... Continue reading

  
• Character Keeper
  August 24, 2020 by Jason Tocci

  1

  If you're playing 2400 online, I recommend using this Google Docs character keeper . Character keepers are effectively shared character sheets that help you track everybody's characters on one screen... Continue reading
• Inner System Blues v1.2
  August 22, 2020 by Jason Tocci

  1

  Caught a couple more errors, responded to a couple more requests Black and white version no longer has any purple in it, now uses gray on cover to save you some ink. Synth-skin was kind of redundant w... Continue reading
• Inner System Blues v1.1

  This Inner System Blues update corrected some errors and made a few small (but consequential enough to be worth an update) adjustments. Defense more clearly specifies that you can break any item, in... Continue reading
