Tiberium first fell onto the Earth in 1995. In the next few decades it has turned the Earth into a nearly uninhabitable wasteland. Forests no longer exist and the atmosphere itself is starting to become poisonous. In this world two powers have emerged: GDI and the Brotherhood of Nod. The last remaining stable goverment and a religious cult respectively. Despite the presence of the two powers, most of the world is in chaos and filled with people simply trying to survive.

It is the year 2031. It has been barely an year since the Second Tiberium War and many feel things are about to become worse still. Ion storms are becoming more and more frequent and tiberium shows no sign of retreating. It is becoming difficult to breathe and many have taken to permanently wearing masks. Life is tough and humanity dwindles.

In this world a group of nomads have stumbled across an abandoned town and GDI outpost. Most of the equipment seems nonfunctional, but fixable. This isn't the best place imaginable, but the nomads are desperate and this might be the last chance they get.

Whether they survive in this world is up to you.


In this game you will all be deciding on the daily actions of the nomads. Whether that is repairing buildings, clearing tiberium, fabricating ammo or venturing out into the world in search of supplies and more survivors. I as the GM will be making no decisions and the chosen actions will be decided by vote.

What follows is an explanation of most mechanics:

Spoiler: Turn (click to show/hide)

A turn is 1 day in the life of the nomads. If agreed upon, some eventless turns may be skipped.

Spoiler: People (click to show/hide)

People are people. They do work, consume supplies and become heroes.

Spoiler: Actions (click to show/hide)

Each person may do one action per day, and will contribute 1 point of progress to whatever they are working on. Some people may have have bonuses to certain types of actions and will contribute more points each turn.

Spoiler: Supplies, Resources, Tiberium and Ammo (click to show/hide)

Supplies symbolise food, water, medical supplies and other similar neccessities. Supplies are consumed daily by each person.

Resources symbolise electronics, metals and other materials used for construction, repairs and similar actions. Resources are expended during these actions and may be needed for building upkeep.

Tiberium can be refined into Resources with labour and a working refinery. However do not forget how dangerous tiberium is when handled wrong.

Ammo is used for shooting. It is expended while shooting and if you run out you are kinda screwed. Units may or may not share types of ammo.

Spoiler: Projects (click to show/hide)

Projects are plans that people can work on. These include exploring buildings, fabricating ammo, repairing vehicles and more.

Projects have a progress bar that is contributed to each turn. The amount of work necessary for each project varies on its difficulty.
Projects may cost supplies, resources, tiberium or ammo to be completed. These will be paid over the course of the project.
On completion of a project major contributors may be promoted to heroes.

Spoiler: Heroes (click to show/hide)

Heroes are people that have distinguished themselves to be worthy of not being simply +1 to the population number. Heroes have traits and bonuses and may in some cases gain maluses. Heroes also have names and do not wear red shirts(unless they are nod). Unlike regular people they may also disobey orders occasionally.

Spoiler: The Outer World (click to show/hide)

There is a big wide world out there. You may find supplies and vehicles to bring back with you. You may find travelling more lucrative if you spend several days on it, but remember to bring enough supplies with you and beware of your vehicle breaking down.

Spoiler: GDI and Nod (click to show/hide)

In your travels you may bump into members of GDI or Nod. The way you interact with both of them is up to you.

Spoiler: Combat (click to show/hide)

Combat units have several stats:

Health: Self explanatory.
Damage: On a hit enemies will take this amount of damage reduced by their armour.
Armour: Attacks towards the unit are reduced by this amount.
Range: Range of attacks.
Speed: Speed of movement.
Upkeep: How much ammo the unit expends with each attack. Gatling guns may be fun, but they spend a lot of ammo.

Range and Speed together decide what units hits first and how many times. The amount of first hits is the difference in ranges divided by the speed of the lower ranged unit. A slow and long ranged unit may be cut down before it even gets a single shot off.

             Day 0: The Beginning

You have recently arrived at a town. You are running low on supplies and are quite desperate. Most buildings appear broken, the solar power generators are barely working, the buildings are falling apart and tiberium has nearly reached the houses. However there appears to a water purification plant and a tiberium refinery here. There also appears to be a GDI vehicle depot of some sort, housing 6 broken Wolverines.

There are 16 of you at the moment and enough weapons to arm 7. 3 of you have some proper expertise in engineering and 3 know how to handle weapons. Most others have simply been forced to learn by experience and so are still capable when there is a need.

At the moment you have only done a cursory look at the town and it might be time to take a closer look at some of the buildings.

[cerapa]

I assume you mean water purifier, not water refinery?

And regarding the x2, the x2 means it can be done twice. A single engineer can't check both buses on the same day.

A single soldier and a civilian went to check out the gas station. It seems to be in good condition and quite a comfortable place compared to the cramped buses. Even the lights seem to work, which is surprising. In the back you find a stash of canned food. [+50 Supplies] [Explored Gas Station]

Another pair of nomads check the solar array. It seems pretty busted, but it's still running. All the cabling connecting it to the other building are working, so getting them running is simply a matter of fixing whatever is wrong with the building in question and making sure there is enough power to run everything.

The water purifier is a vast complex integrated in unknown ways with the tiberium refinery. The team of seven sent out to explore it have discovered that several vital sections are broken and will need to be refabricated if you want to reactivate it. Once activated it should provide pure water and significantly reduce your need to scavenge for supplies. You do however find some spare parts within the complex that may help with this task.

One of the engineers takes a look at the harvester. It seems to be fine besides a few bits of rust here and there. She then proceeded to ride around town with it to "check for problems". It seems to lighten everyones moods a bit. [Gained Vehicle: Tiberium Harvester] [New Project Available]

Another engineer checks one of the buses they rode in on. You are quite lucky you didn't go for a ride before checking, because the fuel tank appears to be leaking. It will have to be fixed before you plan any outings with this vehicle [New Project available]

The pickup truck appears to be completely fine. Not a scratch on this baby.

The first day in the new town was a busy one, but only seemed to reveal more work that needed doing. In the evening a party is held in the Gas Station in celebration of surviving another day, finding a place with electricity and a working vehicle. Worryingly a civilian that went outside to take a piss swears he heard weird noises coming from the direction of the tiberium patch, but most simply assume he was drunk. Whatever the case, tomorrow is going to be another busy day.

Okay, so in order to get the water refinery going again, we need to repair both the solar array and the water refinery. While we do have sufficient resources to do so, we don't have sufficient time.

So, that means we need to find a way to get more resources. First in that attempt will probably mean getting the refinery online, and seeing what to do with that.

1 civilian : Harvest Tiberium
2 soldiers, 1 civilian : Explore Greenhouse
1 soldier, 5 civilians : Explore Tiberium Refinery
2 civilians, 3 engineers : Repair solar power installation

[Toaster]

The water purifier is hugely important to get done, but the cost is way more than we can afford right now.  It's our end goal, so let's work toward it.

To that end, let's explore the high points, but also start harvesting.  There's another harvester, so we might as well check it too.  Fixing the bus should be done soon (like next turn), but let's explore what we have right here first.

I take that back:  Cerapa:  Looks like the "check vehicle" tasks got left on there.


Explore Greenhouse
  2 Solider
  1 Civilian

Explore Apartment
  1 Soldier
  3 Civilian

Examine Wolverine
  1 Engineer

Harvest Tiberium
  1 Civilian  (Gather what's encroaching on the base)

Explore Refinery
  2 Engineer
  5 Civilian


Check out some of the other major buildings, while also taking care of one of the incoming problems.  The Greenhouse should give us opportunities to make food, and if we're lucky there's something usable already in there.  Might as well use at least one engineer to their specialty as well.

Cerapa:  Looks like the "check vehicle" tasks got left on there.

Check means something you own.
Examine means something you don't own.

I don't think I'm gonna be evil enough to make vehicles break without travelling though, so I might aswell remove the option to check them for now.
