The Terminator RPG Campaign Book is a campaign book of fifteen interlinked missions for The Terminator RPG.
Publisher Summary[]
In the Dark Future, the Resistance stands on the cusp of victory. Skynet’s defense grid is vulnerable and John Connor has a plan to smash it and win the war. But the insidious AI has decided to play dirty, experimenting with time displacement technology in an attempt to shear the Resistance from its roots and murder its leader before he’s even born. The mission to save John Connor has already begun, but it isn’t the only battle that must play out in the past. The Resistance may start with Connor, but it ends with you.
Part of Nightfall Games’ Signature Series, this work contains original missions as well as scenarios inspired by the Terminator graphic novels. Designed for 3 to 6 players, the fifteen missions presented here form the framework of a series campaign that can start in the future and end in the past.
Curated by Andrew E.C. Gaska and E.L. Thomas, The Terminator Campaign Book features the talents of a wide variety of creators who offer points of view as varied as the ever-shifting timelines you struggle through in your war against the machines. While all of the missions in this book can form a campaign, each is written in a format unique to the author and embellished with their signature touches.
The future may seem set, but second chances lie in the past. Now more than ever, there is no fate but what you make for yourself.
