In 2009, I started a thread called d20 Modern Plague world discussion, but it fell into water because of lack of time, DM-ing, and the d20 modern rules. Now this year I came across this thread, and wanted the ball rolling again, but now regular forum roleplaying, without DM, and the bulky d20 modern rules Just set the proper atmosphere and start your 'life' as one of the Rip Van Team member. Background in short: Aliens invade the Earth, but mess it up. In the wake of the vast bio-engineerd mutanic plague unleashed by the invaders to wipe out Earth's civilization, the aliens themselves succumbed to their own weapons and degenerate into mindless beasts. Meanwhile, the heroes, soldiers put in suspended animation at the start of the war, awake to a world blown back to the Iron Age. The Heroes do not know that Department 7 is behind their three-century sleep. Indeed, the heroes did not agree to be part of a Rip Van team. When the Spanthi fleet first entered the solar system, agents of Department-7 abducted experts in various useful fields: Biologists and doctors, engineers and sociologists, and experts in urban combat and survival (military personnel, police officers, and even thugs) and placed then in Rip Van bunkers as a fail-safe. In this case, the heroes need to not only learn about the new world, they must learn to trust another.
