Background History
Spoiler:
Time line 2014 A.D.: Terra’s population has grown beyond most estimates, numbering some 8 billion, and while the world’s carrying capacity has not been exceeded as of yet, there are still signs of what is to come. As a result of the dwindling resources, the major powers of the world; China, U.S.A., Russia, Brazil, U.K., and India begin to horde more and more of the existing resources and technology, leaving a disparaging gap between the 1st World Nations and the “Third-Worlders” as they are so dubbed. More and more countries begin to slide into 3rd World Status, prompting many to point to a new Dark Age of human history as unrest spreads like wildfire; intensifying in Africa, the Middle East, South America, Mexico, and the Caucuses. Total World Population: 8 billion. 2016 A.D.: Mounting tensions in the Middle East prompts a series of “skirmishes” between Israel and the nations of Syria, Egypt, and Jordan. It is during this time that an epidemic of disease, famine, pollution, and a shortage of water cause millions of deaths throughout the globe, with the majority coming from the ever expanding 3rd World Nations; the U.N. does what it can to give what little aid is available. Total World Population: 7.8 billion. 2019 A.D.: After several years of skirmishes Israel is invaded by the Arab League, prompting some of the most horrific fighting seen in years. Tens of millions die in the struggle, which culminates with the intervention of the U.N. and setting off a 3 year long war with the Arab League. It is during this time that the conception of Project: Seed begins in secret. Total World Population: 7 billion. 2022 A.D.: After three years of war, the worlds capital cities are decimated by long range missile, terrorist, and conventional attacks. Much of the world is in a state of chaos, and hundreds of millions are dying each year, while resources remain ever scarce. Construction of the USSC Ark begins on the ground, but is quickly shipped into space, amidst much speculation as to its exact nature. Total World Population: 6.3 billion. 2024 A.D.: A ceasefire is called between the Arab League and the U.N. after an emergency summit in Geneva, due to mounting losses and lack of resources on both sides. With ever mounting evidence of the downward slide of resources, the remaining governments of the world agree to pool their remaining resources to construct the remaining ships needed to complete Project: Seed for its inception date of October 2032. In the meantime, word of this summit breaks out, spreading more chaos and rioting in the streets of the world. Total World Population: 5.8 billion. 2027 A.D.: Several cities are completely destroyed in a series of terrorist attacks; Jerusalem, Israel; New York City, New York; Berlin, Germany; and Tokyo, Japan are reduced to rubble by hidden nuclear weapons. Mass panic ensues and the world teeters on the verge of total collapse. Total World Population: 5.5 billion. 2030 A.D.: Information is finally leaked on Project: Seed’s true nature, and riots and protests break out across the globe, causing the remaining governments to call for a state of emergency turning most into police states. During the riots, reports of citizens being fired upon with live ammunition flood the media, but even this does not stop the progress of Project: Seed. Total World Population: 4.8 billion. 2031 A.D.: The remaining stable governments of Terra begin the transfer of the selected 5% of the existing population, totaling roughly 200 million, to embark on Project: Seed, leaving behind the remaining 95% of the population to fend for themselves, on the premise that they would eventually die out and leave Terra free to recover. Total World Population: 4.6 billion. 2032 A.D.: Having completed the transfer of the population and placed them in stasis, the Ark sets out, with no fanfare, for orbit around the outer edges of the Sol system for the next 6 years and 7 months… Total World Population: 4 billion. TERRA MORTALIS CAST (so far)
Spoiler:
Lieutenant Joshua Rolheim:The PCs immediate superior, he is a distant, but very dependable, man who looks after the units under his command. He is a very 'by the book' leader, who is somewhat lacking in imagination when it comes to unorthodox situations. This makes for a strange pairing since he is in charge of a recon force, but he tends to not micro-manage those under him once the units are out in the field. Commander Alex Martin: A disciplinarian by nature, Martin is the typical ass-kicking, tough talking, commander of the battle cruiser, the UNSC Gilgamesh, which is where the PCs are stationed on. He is a very direct man, who prefers to shoot his way out of a situation, and has a very well documented past of doing so. Several incidents of using overwhelming force on insurgents, rebel armies, and some say civilians, have been reported or gossiped about. Still, many feel Commander Martin is someone to be counted on in a tough situation. Birch: An orderly aboard the UNSC Gilgamesh, he is unfamiliar to the PCs as of now. Currently has been stabbed by a crazed man in the halls of the ship. The Scientist/Doctor: Unnamed man who woke up the PCs, he has a very neutral tone to his voice at all times and a very dry sense of humor. Not much is known of him currently...
GAME SYSTEM: D20 Modern/Future with psychic elements but no magic. Standard point-buy; starting level is 2nd. PBP RULES:
CHARACTER CREATION GUIDE: Spoiler:
General: PCs will be part of an advanced reconnaissance team tasked with exploring/retrieving information on the past/present state of Terra. A good mix of skill sets would be useful to be able to handle many types of situations, although combat and exploration will play major roles. Mechanized assault suits and vehicles will be available to PCs, depending on their ability to requisition gear. Starting Level: 2nd; character advancement will be based on hitting certain key points in the story, so XP will not be needed. Point Buy: 32 points Races: Human only Starting HP: Full 1st level hp plus Con bonus, roll for each level there after. Available Occupations: Any (from d20 Core, Future) Allegiances: PCs can choose from some listed below as well as create their own (subject to GM approval of course). United Nations Space Force: The largest arm in the U.N.'s force, the UNSF currently has one of the strongest influences in policy out of all the organizations, only second to the United Nations World Government. But who knows how long their supremacy will last. United Nations Special Operations: A mixture of the remains of the SAS, Delta, Army Special Forces, Alpha Team, Spetsnaz, G-9, Navy SEALs, Marine Force Recon, KSK, and other special forces groups throughout the world. These men and woman are the cream of the crop of the military and enjoy many perks above the regular UNDF, which hasn't endeered them to the rank and file. These "hotshots" are revered just as much as they are reviled. United Nations Intelligence Bureau:The remains of what was the FBI, CIA, and FSB. They are responsible for internal security aboard the Ark and the UNSF fleet, and supposedly for the remaining world once Terra has been secure. United Nations World Government:The core of the U.N. is all that remains, hosting only the governments of the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, China, Brazil, Germany, and a few other countries that have managed to maintain their stability. United Nations Defense Force : The regular army of the United Nations is the main ground force of the U.N. still, with elements of the UNSF and UNSO working in tandem. They have access to the most material, manpower, and resources. The World Scientific Committee : A collective of the worlds most brilliant scientific minds, they are an elite among the elite and have drawn much suspicion from the military forces of the U.N., who enjoy their breakthroughs, but second-guess their non-military intentions. The Pandora Directive: A fringe organization within the United Nations World Governement that deals with expanding on the human potential for psionic abilities. They're a reclusive group that has been involved with the UNIB and UNSO in many training programs with the goal of creating a enhanced soldier/operative for the U.N.. Character Options: Cybernetics- limited to 1 or 2 implants, must be cleared with me first, Tech level 6 (lose 2-4 selectable equipment pieces in exchange, subject to my discretion.); Psionics- Wild Talent Feat allowed along with Psionic Advanced Classes; Mecha Suits- 3 standard suits selectable, although appropriate feats would be needed to pilot without penalties. Class Themes: Common character themes could be- Soldiers, Explorers, Scientists, Dropship pilots, Assault Suit Pilots, Medics, Melee specialists, Recon, Heavy Weapons expert, psychic operators, etc. Skill Consolidation: Spot/Listen/Search will just fall under Perception; Move Silently/Hide will fall under Stealth. What this will mean as far as character creation, is that if your class has at least one of those skills, it will count as having Perception or Stealth as class skills. Also see the House Rules Section for information on selecting a Favored Class. Requisition will replace Wealth and is used to gain access to non-standard equipment in the game. Requisition is calculated by adding the character level plus Charisma modifier. Starting Equipment Packages:
Cybernetic characters- Select items from the Initial Equipment section; 1 combat pistol; 1 long arm,light assault weapon, SAW, or Heavy Machinegun; 1 body armor type, 1 combat knife, 4 Grenades (any type available), 4 ammunition clips, and 2 WL 8, 2 WL 10, 2 WL 12 equipment pieces (Each cybernetic part cost 1 set of the highest WL pieces to a maximum of 2 cybernetic parts) Mecha Pilots- Select items from the Initial Equipment section; 1 combat pistol or light assault weapon, select from Flight suit, Light Combat Armor, or Scout Armor, 2 ammunition clips, and 2 pieces of equipment up to wealth level 8. PCs will be able to choose most equipment from Tech Level 6: Fusion Age and lower. Below is a list of additional equipment that can be chosen from as well, in addition to the standard equipment available in the D20 Modern Core book and those that fall under Tech Level 6 adn below. Requisitionable Equipment is unattainable as a starting character, but can be "purchased" later on in the campaign. Encumberance: Will play a factor as well, although I'm not intending to nickle and dime you to death with minutia, all items over 1 lb need to be considered to balance lugging around too much crap.
DIFFICULTY: Merciless but Fair: let the die fall where it may, encounter balance is off, and no resurrections/protecting players. HOUSE RULES
Recharge: Use of 4E's power/equipment recharge roll for certain items. Critical Hits: I don't really like confirmation rolls for crits, so I usually rule that if your total roll is enough to hit the target AC, then it's a critical; if it is not high enough to hit with a 20 + bonuses, then its just a regular hit. Favored Class: Every level starting at 1, PCs can choose a favored class (can't be changed once the favored class is chosen); for every level gained (including level 1) the PC can choose whether to recieve a +1 bonus to either hit points or skill points. Anti-Personel/Anti-Vehicle Rule: After reviewing mecha vs humans, I have decided to rule that certain weapon systems onboard various mecha (as well as some human scale weapons) will be classified as either Anti-Personnel or Anti-Vehicle. The reasoning being that certain weapon systems were designed for a specific target size, so that a mecha with a rail gun will have a more difficult time shooting a target smaller then its size. This will be a penalty of -2 to directly hit the target, although blast radius do not share this penalty. I am doing this specifically for the purpose of keeping foot soldiers alive longer and I feel it does make sense; it's like trying to hit a single footsoldier with a nonexplosive howitzer round directly... Targeting a Square with Splash Weapons: Within 10 ft of the target the square has a Defense of 10, but for every 5 ft beyond that, the Defense of the square increases by 1. If the attack misses, the shot deviates from the intended square based in the random chart for Deviation (pg 149 D20 Modern Core) and travels in that direction or falls short (depending on the direction rolled) for a number of hexes equal to how much the roll missed the squares Defense. Cover and Splash Weapons: If the target of a splash weapon has cover between it and the blast radius, then a successful Reflex save will do no damage, while a failure will deal half damage. Threatened Area and Opportunity Attacks: Anyone who is struck by an opportunity attack is immediately stopped and can move no further, although the struck character can use a move action to resume movement without further risk of opportunity attack from the character who struck them. Hit Points on Advancing a Level: All rolls of 1's or 2's for new hitpoints upon advancement can be re-rolled. INITIAL EQUIPMENT:
