[Interest Check] - Terminator RPG - YZE hack

Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.

ClosedAlien RPGPublic5 / weekDavidDezo
Since it's an homebrew ruleset, we can try and adapt the careers coming from the Alien RPG core rulebook and the colonial marines operations manual into Tech-Com (or else) soldiers working with / under John Connor.

I'm also open to players who want to play a character from the past where (when) the soldiers are sent.

We can talk about it on the main thread of the forum. We will play on a specified thread.

Thanks !

Come with me if you want to play !!!

Hello people ! Since my Deadlands game is doing very well thanks to the wonderful players, I was thinking about starting a second one, set in the Terminator universe (movies, tv show and comics).

Sadly, the actual and official ruleset from Nightfall Games is overly complicated (for me). Thats why I tought about using the Year Zero Engine from Free League (Alien, Blade Runner, etc...). There is some awesome hack online that can be used for hacking Terminator (no puns intended ;)) into the YZE.

Since I read on here that there was couple of players that manifested their interest for this system, i'm looking for 2 to 4 players to join me.

This game will be slow paced so I'm looking for 5 posts per week, so patient players only. ;)

Still working on the rules and set up but i'm almost done. We can surely start in a couple days.

Thanks in advance and see you in the Future War, Humanity needs you !

Would love a chance to play. I know the Year Zero engine a little, though haven't had the chance to try the system as much as I would like.

Sounds like fun! I’d love to join. No experience with YZE but I have no problem putting in the work to learn it.

The Year Zero Engine part catches my attention. Have an expensive book there.

Is this meant to be played more as Terminator Future Shock, Salvaction, and Dark Fate Defiance, set in the post-apocalypse world, or is it more like Sarah Connor Chronicles, focused on an ensemble in the pre-apocalypse time trying to change the future?

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but if there's an opening I'd love to get in on this.

Does the campaign support playing reprogrammed terminators (using the synth rules from Alien)?
