It is now, or close enough to now that the difference doesn't matter.

STATIC is a standalone d20 tabletop roleplaying game about resisting a country that runs on three quiet machines: the Lattice (a social-scoring surveillance grid), the Signal Trust (the feed that decides what's Verified), and the Coherence Office (the people who enforce agreement itself). You play the static in their signal — small cells of ordinary, dangerous people the algorithms can't quite filter out.

Grounded political thriller with pulp in its veins: Children of Men crossed with Mr. Robot, with a V for Vendetta pulse underneath.
