XCOM 2 WEST MARCHES: RETAKE OUR PLANET
The invasion is over. Earth has been conquered in less than
a month as world leaders offered unconditional surrender to the Alien threat. In
the 20 years since they have changed everything on this planet to suit their
needs. All major population centers were made to or chose to submit with the
most fortunate existing as favored pets with the least either becoming fodder
for experimentation or left to rot. Earth is being harvested by the Ethereals
and if we chose to do nothing humanity as we know it will cease to exist.
Game: Dark Heresy 2e with Homebrew
Experience: Any and all. Material and guidance can be
provided.
Timezone: PDT / EST centric at this time
Schedule: At least one mission held weekly, more as number of
DMs increase
Roles Sought: DM / Player
Game Style: One shot missions, interconnected one shots, shared
world, player choice focused
Hello there! My name is Kyle and I’m a veteran DM branching out into the West
Marches style of games. This game is a passion project for me as I’ve been
adding to DH2e to better capture the feel of XCOM, my favorite tactical RPG. If
you’re not familiar with this system don’t worry I’ve taught at least a hundred
people how to play this game. The game is still fairly young with a small cadre
dedicated of players at this time, but I’m eager to grow the community and
share my work with other passionate people.
This game is set in the XCOM 2 timeline where XCOM is a resistance
movement as I believe this would allow the greatest freedom for character
creation. My intent is to capture the quintessential XCOM experience by having interesting
tactical and strategic maps and creating systems where players have interesting
and meaningful choices to make in combat, in equipment choice, how to
accomplish the mission’s objective, and how to advance XCOM as a whole.
While XCOM is a very successful as a tactical RPG I have not
forsaken fundamental aspects of a tabletop RPG. There is more mission diversity
than go here kill aliens and hack the objective or rescue the VIP. Charisma and
Intelligence characters can be incredibly valuable, and missions have been
completed without firing a shot through cunning tricks and well placed words.
There are more options than there seem to be and I consider myself pretty
flexible. I’m also planning on exploring how Earth is different as a whole for
humanity and fleshing out the relatively unused setting of Alien Occupied
Earth.
If you’re interested in trying this out with me feel free to
take a look at my introductory handout and join my Discord! It’s a little rough
since this is my first time doing such a thing, but I hope to hear from you
soon!
