After the Great War on Earth, nations crumbled, and governments fell. Corporations soon began to fill the vacuum where these once mighty powers had ruled. In 2124, at the Brazil Accords, it was decided that the 4 largest Corporations would take control of all Earth Citizens under Corporate Law. This law would empower these Corporations, to establish a police and military force, to establish peace and begin leading Citizens out of the second Dark Age.
That was a long time ago. Sounded good back then, but the economy crashed and what they promised didn't come through. Okay, well, maybe not as good as they made it sound. After a few years, you decided you needed stability. Three squares a day, as well as a good paycheck. So, you joined the Earth Force. Yes, it was the military, and yes, you didn't have much to say about where and when you would go. But how bad could it be?
Then you got sent to Obscura, a planet found at the edge of the 6ᵗʰ Ring. It all sounded good until you got there. Once there, you met…
- Forsaken:
- Alien life-forms that originally inhabited the planet and didn't take well to Earthlings.
- Gangs:
- Part of the original Earth settlers. Gangs that roam the streets, taking what they want when they want from who they want.
- Cultists:
- Earthlings that "awakened supernatural creatures from the recesses of the planet for the betterment of all". Or at least that's what they say. Well, the good news is, you only have two more years. The bad news is, can you make it?
How many minis? Great question! 5150: Dark Planet is made for 4 to 6 figure/counter squads. Once you get the rules down, you can upsize to a Platoon of three squads. Heck, there's no limit to the size of your games, just start with one squad until you get the mechanics down.
Tabletop play? With minis? Yes! Rules for setting up a tabletop with terrain to play with miniature figures are included.
Stretch-goals – We got them!
For each $500 USD stretch-goal we hit, we'll add a new mission! To Infinity and Beyond! We unlocked eleven stretch-goals on our last Kickstarter, Able, Baker, Charlie, so we've been successful before.
