Hi there and thank you for reading this, I have for a while been thinking about running some form of X-COM game and I finally put my fingers to the key's(since pen to paper is kinda of a lie). The idea is that the group would be the striketeam of a base. It would be quite a bit of combat but I would also like to focus on some of the RP aspects of it all. As for system I was planing to use nWoD but I am looking over other option's, if anyone got a good idea then please poke me about it. Welcome to X-COM (Extraterrestrial Combat Unit). You are now a part of a tradition that spans
back to the late 1990's. Let me appraise you of X-COM's activities to date, more importantly, the
activities of the Aliens we have encountered.
Back in the mid 1990's it became evident that "we were not alone". By 1998, UFOs began to land
openly in rural areas; the aim of these early missions was the abduction of local inhabitants and
animals. Our first military contact with the Aliens led to the massacre of an entire squad. In
November of that year, and emergency meeting was convened at the United Nations. As a result of
that meeting, X-COM was established. In the following years, X-COM waged war against the Alien
menace. Most of this activity occurred in the cities and rural areas of Earth, but eventually
it took us to the Alien's main Base on Mars (Cydonia).
Our victory at Cydonia saw the defeat of the immediate Alien threat, but, in its turn reawakened
a second of destruction that X-COM were later enlisted to counter. Alien activity have once more begun and you have been chosen from the best people around the world for your particular skill set to help combat this second invasion. So this would be after the first invasion but rather then play Terror from the deep we would go another way with it. While it will be based on X-COM it won't be strictly following lore to the letter. The group would not only be soldiers but other members as well. Maybe there is a Doctor on the team, a hacker or what not. So rather then being combat only there will be a opportunity to play something that is not a solder. I was planing to run missions, a mission might be more then a session and between missions there will be some downtime and time for other things that is not murdering aliens and stealing all they got.
