Unreleased Feature
This article covers a feature not yet available in a public release.

Networks

The system supports grids and hosts as means to providing actors and devices with means of connecting to the matrix.

In order to use matrix networks, the GM must simply create grid and host items, which will be available to use immediatly, as long as those items are within the FoundryVTT item collection. Grids and hosts within compendiums can't be used as matrix networks. To block players from seeing a network, the visible checkbox can be used. When set a network will not show up to the players, as long as it hasn't been marked before or has no active connections. Once marked or connected a network will be visible to players until either is removed.

Connecting to Networks

To connect networks use on of these options:

  • (GM only) add matrix actors or technology devices directly to the WAN of a network.
  • add a network subscription to a SIN item on a character and connect using the matrix tab
  • mark a network using the matrix network hacking application available on the matrix tab, either with the available matrix actions or by asking the GM for a invitation to place a mark on the network without hacking

Networks and Devices

By connecting any technology item to a networks WAN, they are available for all matrix actions. Be aware that each device can only be connected to a single network at a time.

Marks

Marks can be placed on all matrix actors and technology items.

Marks and Icons

Depending on the network connected, the matrix-hacking tab provides a list of available targets. This list will only show icons that aren't running silent and are within the 100m matrix perception range, as well as tokens that aren't marked as invisible by the GM. By selecting an icon and then selecting the appropriate matrix action, a mark can be placed and the newly marked icon will be shown within the list of marked icons, with the amount of marks set.

To change or remove marks, use the provided icons for adding, removing and deleting marks.

Rebooting Persona Device

When rebooting a persona device, all marks and network connections will be removed.
