War of the Worlds
Ive been watching the 1953 movie & 1988 series, "War of the Worlds" (yes, im old) and thought it would make a great game setting - a group of scientists & military personnel vs. the reawakened aliens who wish to pick up where they left off after the 1953 invasion.
I have two ideas for the game.
1. Pick up where season 1 ended: I hated Season two of the series so it would pick up a year after season 1 ended where they made contact with the Synth from the planet Qar'To.
2. Total reboot: Set the game in modern times (as opposed to 1988-89 of the series). The aliens awaken but events will differ from the series and I will throw away the "Selective Amnesia" idea and the invasion is common knowledge but such a long time ago - like Pearl Harbor.
As far as gaming system it will be games I have knowledge on - Palladium System, D6 System, D20 Modern or Freeform.
Questions & Comments welcome!
