uses Sagittarius A* to break a piece of ice,
the runner must spend a or t to destroy
another piece of active ice on the system,
and the GM must spend h or d to destroy one
other icebreaker on the runner’s rig. If there
are no other pieces of active ice on the sys-
tem, the runner must spend a or t to destroy
the system, instead.

sysop may spend a maneuver to reinforce Hadri-
an’s Wall. If they do so, the ice increases its
program strength to 10 until the end of the
sysop’s next turn.

5/650
 Heimdall 1.0 7

Barrier
If a character attempts to break this ice and
fails, they are unable to access the sub-sys-
tem Heimdall 1.0 protects. During their turn,
a runner may spend a maneuver to interact with
Heimdall 1.0. If they do so, they decrease
Heimdall 1.0’s program strength by 1 until the
end of their next round. The runner must add
h for each previous time they have encountered
Heimdall 1.0 until the end of the encounter.

 Archer 5

Sentry
If a character attempts to break this ice and
fails, the sysops or other system admins are
immediately notified of the intrusion, and one
of the runner’s icebreakers is destroyed. Arch-
er then deactivates until the end of the run-
ner’s next turn. If the runner generates hhh
when attempting to break Archer, one of the
runner’s icebreakers (GM choice) is damaged two
steps. If the runner generates d, one of their
icebreakers is destroyed instead.

5/850 (R)
 Hawk’s Eye 4

Sentry
If a character attempts to break this ice and fails,
the sysops or other system admins are immediately
notified of the intrusion and Hawk’s Eye provides
any sysops who access the system during the current
encounter one successful trace against the runner.
Hawk’s Eye then deactivates until the end of the
runner’s next turn. If the runner generates hh
when attempting to break Hawk’s eye, Hawk’s Eye
provides any sysop who access the system during the
encounter one successful trace against the runner.

 Janus 1.0 9

Sentry
If a character attempts to break this ice and fails,
the system of the rig or computer the runner is using
is destroyed (which also kicks the runner out of the
system). If the runner is using a BMI, they suffer an
automatic Head Ringer Critical Injury instead, and they
must attempt to override Janus again during their fol-
lowing turn. If they are already suffering from the Head
Ringer Critical Injury, they suffer the End is Nigh Crit-
ical Injury instead. For every h the runner generates
when attempting to break Janus 1.0, the runner suffers 2
strain. If the runner is using a BMI, they suffer 1 strain
and 1 wound instead.

 Syn 2.2 6

Code Gate
If a runner attempts to break this ice and
fails, they lose access to the entire sys-
tem and must perform the access system action
again. If a runner fails to break Syn, they add
ff to any further attempts to break this piece
of ice until the end of the encounter.

5/1250
 Tollbooth 3

Code Gate
If a runner attempts to break this ice and
fails, they lose access to the entire sys-
tem and must perform the access system action
again. The runner may pay a set fee (usually
between 5 and 50 credits) to automatically suc-
ceed on their check to break Tollbooth.

INITIATIVE
Roll Cool or Vigilance (GM determines).

TURN
Reasonable number of incidentals. One maneuver and
action.

INCIDENTAL
Attempt Access: Move attention to a sub-system. If the
sub-system is protected by ice the runner must perform
the Break Ice action, but the sysop does not encounter ice.

MANEUVERS
Enact Command (Runner, Sysop): May utilize the cur-
rently accessed sub-system.
Activate Program (Runner, Sysop): Activate or reactive
ice or icebreaker.
Go Deep: Requires BMI, Skulljack, or Spinal Modem. Al-
lows second maneuver without spending strain, but may
not interact with real world.
Go Shallow: Requires a previous Go Deep maneuver. No
longer considered “deep”. Second maneuver now costs
strain, but may interact with real world.
You may suffer 2 strain to perform a second maneuver.
ACTIONS
Access System (Runner): (Varies by system): A runner
must succeed before they may perform any other actions,
maneuvers, or incidentals on the target system.
Burn System (Runner, Sysop): (Daunting (kkkk) Hack-
ing): Accessed system is damaged one step per ss.
Break Ice (Runner): (Average (kk)): Once action start-
ed, runner learns ice details. Uncancelled s determines
strength. If successful, any active icebreaker may be used
and its strength is added to the attempt. Only icebreakers
with matching type of the ice being encountered may be
used. Ice and icebreakers may have additional rules that
apply to the situation.
Trace User (Sysop): (Opposed Sysops vs Hacking): Each
successful attempt gives more information about a runner
currently accessing the system.
Lockout (Sysop): (Formidable (kkkkk)): Each success-
ful Trace User action reduces the difficulty by 1 to a mini-
mum of Easy (k). If successful, the runner loses access to
the system and must attempt again.
Sweep (Sysop): (Hard (kkk)): If successful, the sysop
becomes aware of a runner in their system, plus one addi-
tional intruder for every uncancelled s.
Perform a maneuver: Does not cost strain, but if you have
already performed two maneuvers you may not take this
action.
SPENDING a AND t
a Opportunity Identified: Add j to next
or Computers check
t Thorough Override (Runner Only): If ice bro-
ken, it cannot reactive for 1 additional round.

aa Quick Commands: May perform additional

or enact command maneuver as incidental
t Cover Tracks (Runner Only): Add j to sysop’s
next Trace

aaa Trolling: Inflict 3 strain on another user in

or system
t Permanent Back Door (Runner Only):
Accessing the system again is Easy (k)
Successful Trace (Sysop Only): 1 successful
trace

t Hard Shutdown (Runner Only): If ice broken,

cannot be reactivated for the remainder of
encounter.
Blurred Sig (Runner Only): Cancel one trace.
Scouting Ahead (Runner Only): Learn details
of one unencountered ice on the system.
Backup Ice (Sysop Only): System immediately
gains an active Ice Wall barrier.
Identified Exploit (Sysop): Remove one back
door.
SPENDING h AND d
h Disorganized System: Add j to next Com-
or puters check
d Online Distraction: Add jj to any non-Com-
puter checks next turn

hh Limited Access (Runner Only): May only

or perform one Network action or one Network
d maneuver during next turn.
I Know You! (Runner Only): Next successful
Trace on this user results in one additional
trace.
Careless Protocols (Sysop Only): Reduce
strength of one active ice by 1 to a minimum
of 1.

hhh Major Alert (Runner Only): All users become

or aware of intruder
d Permanent Back Door (Sysop Only): Access-
ing the system again is Easy (k).

d Successful Trace (Runner Only): Successfully

trace the runner once.
Wrong Person (Sysop Only): A trace gets one
critical piece of information wrong about the
runner.
