Ah, yes! A sci-fi RPG! Those are wonderful games, you have played many before. Far in the future, technology beyond anything we have today, you are no longer bound by your setting- anything can be explained with the excuse of advanced technology.
And the plot is wonderful. It is a truly moving piece, of quality far beyond anything seen by mankind before. Oh yes, you chuckle to yourself, it is truly a work of art! The aliens invading earth premise has been done many times before, and some would say it is exhausted. But in a stroke of genius (and it truly is genius, even somone as humble as you would have no choice but to describe it as that), you have reversed the plot, so it is Humans invading the earth
That alone would have been an incredible plot - blowing the mind of anyone who comes across it, and astounding your players with your creativity and original ideas, but you have taken it one stage further, with a twist that even you are amazed by. Not only are the humans that bad guys, but the players play the part of a nuclear weapon system controlled by the humans. Oh yes. If the previous plot twist was genius, then this one is beyond it - even to use it in the same language would be a crime. Once the others see, they will agree, oh yes. They won't mind at all, in fact they will be gracious - There will be scores of them, each begging to be allowed to contribute but one word to the new language of glory - and that's a rather conservative estimate.
For now, though, you will wait for some players to join, and give them a while to get acquainted with the game. Once they are ready, however, you have something special for them, the first development of the plot - It will no doubt blow whatever remnants of their minds there are which have not been blown up to this point (and there can't be much left, there's been a lot of mind-blowing so far). Or at least you would, if only you could remember what the first plot twist will be...
What was the First plot twist?
