The aliens contacted us on 21 December 2012, in Mumbai. The world changed, but not in the way the Mayans predicted. First contact went badly thus resulting in the deaths of a woman: Farida Gavd and 8 giant, orange mantid aliens, the disappearance of several Indian law enforcement officers and the retreat of the alien vessel. The world held its breath but no invasion or reprisals followed.
Now, one year later, there are rumours. Some say the Aliens returned. Some say they deal with the government, others that they support anarchists and terrorists. Reports of abductions and UFO sightings have increased and those in the know say that certain governments are developing interplanetary nuclear weapons and soldiers are being redeployed to parts unknown. Whatever it is, the Aliens are here and seem to have taken a keen interest in us all.
That Insidious Strength is a game set in the world of ‘Out of the Violent Planet’ and using the Atomic Highway rules set. A game of chance encounters, combat and survival in the face of an alien threat.
