I remember running a handful of sessions of Twilight 2000 back in the 1980s when the Cold War was on everyone's mind. My gaming group was more focused on D&D and other Fantasy RPGs than modern or sci-fi genres, so we never stuck with Twilight: 2000. I think it would have been fun.
Today's Deal of the Day is Twilight: 2000 (2e). Normally, 20 bucks in PDF; until tomorrow, Twilight: 2000 (2.2e) is on sale for 10 bucks.
Newly updated to be fully compatible with Traveller: The New Era
The War has raged for years The high-tech ammo is almost gone. High-tech equipment is failing, piece by piece, with no spares to fix it. The front lines are held by a few grim, desperate soldiers.
The US 5th Division holds the line in Poland. Now, a Soviet encirclement has cut it off in a province ruled by ambitious warlords, local militias, and bands of marauding deserters. HQ is 200 klicks to the rear and powerless.
Your last order sets you free...
"Good Luck. You're on your own."
