11 – Headspace
Headspace is an upcoming Apocalypse powered cyberpunk RPG from Green Hat Designs. In their words:
Headspace is a role playing game that explores human emotion, memory and personal identity. The world of Headspace is a dark future where technology has begun to alter not just our bodies, but how we feel and even think.
In this future an advanced neural networking technology, Headspace, has been developed which allows its wielders to connect their consciousness directly into each other’s minds. Jacking into the Headspace comes with a cost; there is no going back. Once your minds are bound together, your every thought, sensation, emotion and even dreams are shared; over any distance at the speed of thought.
Headspace will be on kickstarted October 20th — don’t miss it! Find out more about Headspace and download the quick start from headspacerpg.com or follow Mark at Green Hat Designs for updates.
Our guests this week are Jim McClure of Talking Tabletop and Rob Abrazado.

I am running Headspace tomorrow and this was SUPER helpful to hear! (and fun to listen to as well.)
Thank you so much for doing this, it helped me figure out how to move from operator creation into the fiction.
Did you do any plot prep before any of this game started?
I am terrible about doing any kind of prep — I don’t remember because it’s been quite a while, but I probably did what I generally do, which is create the opposition and the idea of an interesting opening, and then let the game connect those two together however it happens. I do remember we did a lot less than I initially expected!
These characters, because they’re so entangled, really do help create the story as they go. I do like this game quite a bit.
