Repeaters
A downloadable game
This is an entry in the HAVOC game jam.
3 years ago scientists detected an artificial object hurtling toward the earth from outside the solar system. 3 months ago it crashed into Washington D.C., Bugs spilling forth. 3 weeks ago North America was conquered. 3 days ago Earth forces revealed prototype power armour that could turn the tide of the war. 3 hours ago Earth forces invaded North America in a last ditch effort to eject the Bugs from the US. 3 minutes ago you reached the beaches of Florida. 3 seconds ago you died. But then you woke up. And you are back on that landing craft approaching Florida. You are a Repeater, returning to fight the same battle again and again and again. And maybe, just maybe, you can get to Washington DC and liberate the US.
This is a hack of the Havok Engine, by Rowan, Rook and Decard, that tells the action packed, heroic, no-holds barred story of Repeaters saving the Earth.
As my first such attempt at participating in a game jam, it is much too ambitious, utterly incomplete, and absolutely unplaytested. That said, I think the core idea is a good one, and an ambitious GM could use what is here to create a fun experience at the table.
It includes a core rule book, no character sheets or thought out abilities, and an example Campaign document that shows a much too large map with the first 4 locations detailed as an example.
I hope to flesh out the campaign and maps shortly, with playtesting and editing later down the line.

Just gonna leave that here: While this game may be incomplete, the Hook is so cool. This whole paragraph below is just so well written and so cool to use as a Hook to get your friends to play that Campaign with you! Nicely done on that front ;-)
