Face of Oblivion Publishing
The Face of Oblivion is now available at DriveThruRPG.com, here: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/144589/The-Face-of-Oblivion
It is a larp scenario for 6-8 players, with low set-dressing and minimal preparations required of the players, which runs about two hours. It was designed to be, and is, an intense emotional experience. I am distributing it free until May, as an experiment in increasing name-recognition, so feel free to follow the link and get your own copy. If you like it, leaving reviews and mentioning it in gaming circles would be much appreciated. (If you don't like it, go ahead and review anyway - sometimes hearing about what doesn't work is a very useful thing.)
In any case,
Cheers.
2277, May 17, Asteroid Habitat Aoraki Mountain, Captain's Address to Crew:
"People, we've done this before. The system newcomer Oblivion, whatever its mass, is just another flying rock. Killing rocks is our trade - we have the technology, the manpower, and the will. Earth will not fall on our watch."
2278, April 4, Asteroid Habitat Aoraki Mountain, Captain's Address to Crew:
"... in light of Oblivion 3's failure due to catastrophic equipment malfunction, technical crews will be inspecting Aoraki's infrastructure early this year. We trust that our crew will behave in the spirit of Aoraki as Oblivion passes through our orbit..."
2278, April 4, Captain's Private Log
"This isn't over."
For more than a hundred years the people of Earth and its surrounding space habitats have been fighting the Rock War - a collection of solid masses are passing willy-nilly through the Solar System, many of which could profoundly damage the mother planet. Most have been neutralised - humanity is winning! But now the largest planet-killer of them all, code-named Oblivion, has defeated the last three attempts to divert it. Soon it will pass through the orbit of Asteroid Habitat Aoraki Mountain, almost close enough to see, and the Captain has one last desperate gambit in mind...
But oh - this will cost. Join the habitat's officers in the last two hours before an irrevocable decision is made. Sometimes there aren't any good choices.
What compromises will you make, in the Face of Oblivion?
(I'm going to quietly collapse, now. Y'know, this was supposed to be a 'little' game? But the details, the details breed... Phew.)
