The Swarm


General Discussion


Anyone else dying to get their hands on more content related to the swarm? I absolutely love Starship Troopers and would be so excited to play an inspired campaign using some of these bugs. The two in the AA are really cool, but is anyone else dying for an AP involving them? Has anyone used them in their homebrew games, and if so in what way?

I played in a couple of games where the GM rewound the timeline and made the focus about the swarm invaders. It was pretty cool.

We traveled to a distant planet on the edges of known space to rescue important scientists whose research facility had been attacked by an unknown alien menace (the swarm).

Along the way we encountered a damaged vessel adrift in space. There was nothing we could do, so we moved on, but not before accidentally picking up an injured swarm stoaway. It began hunting us through our own ship, much like the movie Alien, a terrifying prospect for low level characters!

When we killed it and made it to the planet, we had to deal with the local port authorities, who wanted to quarantine us.

Once we escaped them and made it to the research facility far out in the wilds, we not only encountered swarm agents, but several horrible research experiments the scientists had been working on.

Once we survived that hell, we discovered a nd explored a subterranean passage to an alien hive where we uncovered evidence revealing a larger impending invasion.

The last game was trying to convince the planetary government (whom arrested us upon our return) that we weren't all crazy, that an invasion was coming, and that the rest of the Pact Worlds needed to be warned.
