Description of the World

One of the huge strengths of Snowcrash is the world. Realistic, yet fun; interesting, playable, it is everything a player or GM could want. It is described here.

Character Creation Guidelines

If you want to play, you need to create a character. This page tells you have. You might also want to take a look at the new skills / advantages / disadvantages. Or some sample characters.

Rational

I've tried to write down why I've done things the way I have. You can read them, and agree or disagree, but at least you will understand why.

Frequently Asked/Answered Questions

Q1: Will this stuff ever be published?

A1: Probably not. For at least three reasons: 1. SJG rarely publishes worldbooks based on fiction, because they don't sell well. 2. There would be licensing problems with Neal Stephonson and/or his publisher. 3. I'm not that good a writer.
