Dark Storm (Modern D20 Special Forces)

Post by BrokenWire2086 » Wed Mar 19, 2008 2:53 am

It is the very near future and terrorist organizations have banded together to create a border-less nation-state. Held together by a radical ideology the Army of God has branched to every corner of the globe and includes members of domestic terrorism units from each of the first world nations. This new threat has received little attention on the national stage for fear of the mass panic which such a well developed organization would cause and the United Nations has expanded its efforts to deal with the situation diplomatically. The United States, on the other hand, is not so willing to sit back and allow her safety to be compromised.

This game has a slightly different feel to it than many others of the combat focused d20's which many people are likely familiar with. Under a heavily modified Storyteller-screen the game is controlled to account for aspects of real life style conflict resolution (shooting people). Players can expect for combat to be an ever present feature of the game however each individual encounter will be fast, brutal and to the point. Do not mistake the rules in the fancy book for what will pass as strategy in the eyes of your GM (US Army Infantry).
