Publisher Summary[]

A scenario inspired by the Graphic Novel: Sector War.

This post-Judgment Day mission, circa 1980s, is designed for 3-6 players.

Plot summary[]

After discovering evidence suggesting that Elise Fong was killed by a Terminator, the Player Characters end up being arrested and taken to a police station in the South Bronx, New York.[1] The PCs are attacked there by a T-800 named Flasher. After this initial encounter, the PCs are pursued through the dilapidated streets of Precinct 49. Flasher chases them to various locations, including their own apartments, a nightclub called Noise Hole Club where they meet Resistance soldier Morag Bains and arms dealer Desmond Fisher, Jackie Finklestein's bodega, Papa Oso's towers, and the New York subway. Eventually, the PCs successfully destroy Flasher, but they are now aware that a new phase in their war against Skynet has begun.

Notes[]

  • This scenario is non-linear: after the initial sector house attack, the PCs are given a series of locations to explore as they attempt to escape the Terminator.
  • The campaign guide suggests introducing Farrow Greene as a possible ally.
