> WHAT IS THIS?> THE STARFINDER HACKING SIMULATOR IS A VIRTUAL PROP FOR THE STARFINDER TABLETOP ROLE-PLAYING GAME. THE SIMULATOR ALLOWS GAME MASTERS TO CREATE VIRTUAL COMPUTER ENCOUNTERS FOR THE PLAYERS TO EXPLORE! > HOW DOES IT WORK?> USING THE ADMIN (OR GAME MASTER) MODE, A GAME MASTER CAN USE THE APP ON THEIR COMPUTER OR SHARED SCREEN TO SET UP A COMPUTER ENCOUNTER (REPRESENTED BY A NETWORK OF NODES). ONCE THE ENCOUNTER IS PREPARED, THEY CAN ACTIVATE THE USER (OR PLAYER) MODE AND TRANSFER THE SCREEN TO THE PLAYERS, WHO THEN HAVE TO HACK THEIR WAY THROUGH THE ENCOUNTER. > WHAT IS CURRENTLY SUPPORTED IN THE BETA?> THE SIMULATOR IS CURRENTLY SUPPORTED ON CHROME AND FIREFOX BROWSERS. IT WILL WORK ON SAFARI BUT USERS MAY HAVE SOME VISUAL GLITCHES (FIXES IN THE WORKS). TOUCH SUPPORT IS NOW IMPLEMENTED! PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ONLINE ENCOUNTER SAVES MAY BE WIPED ON MAJOR UPDATES. > CAN I SAVE AND LOAD THE ENCOUNTERS I CREATE?> YES, YOU CAN EITHER CREATE ENCOUNTERS LOCALLY (SAVED ON YOUR COMPUTER IN BROWSER STORAGE), OR ONLINE. ONLINE ENCOUNTERS CAN BE SHARED WITH YOUR PLAYERS BY SENDING THEM A LINK, LOCAL ENCOUNTERS CANNOT. > WHAT DATA GETS SAVED WHEN USING THE SIMULATOR?> THE FOLLOWING DATA IS SAVED WHEN YOU USE AN ONLINE ACCOUNT: YOUR USERNAME, YOUR E-MAIL, AND ANY INFORMATION YOU INPUT INTO THE ENCOUNTER. NEVER USE PERSONAL OR PRIVATE INFORMATION IN ENCOUNTERS. > I'VE NOTICED SOME OF THE RULES DON'T EXACTLY MATCH THE CORE RULE BOOK?> IN SOME CASES THE RULES OF THE SIMULATOR DO NOT 100% MATCH THE RULES AS WRITTEN. IN MOST CASES THIS IS DONE IN ORDER TO MAKE THE RULES WORK BETTER WITH THE NODE-BASED STRUCTURE, OR TO PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY TO GAME MASTERS. OR IT COULD JUST BE A BUG! SEE SOMETHING AMISS? HOP ON TWITTER (@starfinderhack1) AND POINT IT OUT, OR SHOOT ME AN EMAIL (starfinderhackingsimulator@gmail.com). > DO YOU HAVE A PATREON? HOW CAN I SHOW MY SUPPORT?> HEAD ON OVER TO THE SUPPORT PAGE FOR A LIST OF ALL THE WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT THE PROJECT. > SOMETHING IS WRONG! THERE IS A BUG! WHY DOESN'T THIS HAVE 'X' FEATURE!?> IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY ISSUES OR HAVE FEEDBACK TO IMPROVE THE SIMULATOR, HOP ON TWITTER (@starfinderhack1) OR SHOOT ME AN EMAIL (starfinderhackingsimulator@gmail.com).
