DescriptionIn the near future, migration from the Third World to Europe overwhelms the Continent. The European economy suffers greatly. In order to save itself, the nations of the European Union surrender their sovereignty and combine into a European super-state. In short order, the new European super-state becomes the world's strongest neo-Communist superpower. The new leader of the European super-state is an evil descendant of Napoleon Bonaparte.... Asia plunges into an economic depression which plunges the nations of Asia into chaos, prompting the nations of Asia to seek economic help from Europe, mortgaging their future to Brussels..... The Middle East plunges into chaos when two Middle Eastern nations acquire nuclear weapons, forcing Israel to launch a preemptive nuclear strike..... A European force seizes the Panama Canal, triggering neo-Communist revolutions in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Immigration to the United States and Canada increase as refugees flee northward..... The NATO alliance dissolves and the United Nations disbands. The United States stands alone..... In the Pacific, European-backed neo-Communist forces invade Australia, plunging the Land Down Under into a war for survival..... When the town of Calumet, Colorado is invaded by neo-Communist forces, a band of high-school students called "The Wolverines" take up arms and go to war to save their homes, their families, their town, and their country..... In Australia, a band of teenagers also come together to fight for their country..... Based on the 1984 and 2012 "Red Dawn" movies and the Australian novel "The War That Came Tomorrow", "Red Dawn" is a role-playing game that tells the story of young guerrillas who fight foreign invaders. Join the fight! You can play as a member of The Wolverines, as a teenage guerrilla in Australia, a soldier in the neo-Communist invasion forces in Calumet, Colorado, or Australia, a collaborator, or a repoeter at a radio station giving news reports. Create a character and tell his/her story. To join, contact the GM at joeyjolley1975@gmail.com. All characters will be our own. No characters from "Red Dawn" and "The War That Came Tomorrow" will be used. Can the Wolverines and the young freedom fighters in Australia win against overwhelming odds? |
