This is a really handy book, full of the sort of things you could expect to find in a post-apocalyptic world before everything gets scavenged by survivors. I personally use this in my Terminator RPG game but this works well to suplement Mutant Year Zero, Twilight 2000, Fallout or other games where a group of characters try to survive the dangers of a world on the brink. The tables a re set put in a logical way that makes it easy to narrow down where you are looking and what types of things you might find, useful or not. The illustartions are also really well done, and capture the feel of this often grim setting.

With this scenario Nightfall are really opening up the potential for the Terminator RPG, marrying concepts from the origianl Now Comics Terminator series (although not explicitely mentioned) with the newly created Time Displacement Commandos, to create some mystery and intrigue. Alongside this is a bucket full of action, new Skynet Forces, i teresting NPCs and the promise of six instalments of this tightly focused campaign. Well done Nightfall Games, great work.

Wow, I was surprised by the number of scenarios within this book ranging from future war to present day scenarios, based on the Dark Horse comics series and also new creations. Each can be played as a standalone but the suggested campaign weaves an interesting story that leads a group of resistance fighters through many exciting adventures. The situations are varied, the obstacles and enemies are many and the stakes couldn't be higher, the future of humanity. If you are reading this, you are the resistance.

I have reviewed all of the Terminator books separately, so won't repeat myself. If you are a fan of Terminator and RPGs, or have never played an RPG but love the Terminator mythos, then this os a great price for a great range of products. You will have everything you need to play this RPG for at least a year with the main rules, quick start adventures and campaign book. Have fun.

A few interesting scenarios, some new locations, insight into hacking and some useful tables; not much but a fun read, and some clarity about hacking. Worth the cash to add this booklet to my growing collection of Terminator RPG information.

This is the RPG setting that I have waited for since 1984, the world of the Terminator is an iconic setting and this RPG is a masterclass in how to adapt an existing ruleset to evoke the feel of a setting. The background material on the Terminator universe is extensive, only rivaled by the Terminator Wiki in the amount of information it includes, adding lore and call backs to other Terminator films, books and comics. The exploration of Skynet's forces is impressive and will give any GM lots of adversaries to throw at thier players.

The two included scenarios demonstrate the flexibility of the setting, with one emulating the story of the movie and the second scenario set in the dark future of the 2020s, pitting resistance fighters against Skynet's unstopable machines. I am unlikely to play the former but I will mine it for ideas to create my own scenarios.

The ruleset can be considered on the crunchy side, with set difficulties and a range of modifiers, but any GM can just pick a difficulty number for the task and move on, describing the dramatic outcome of any task. We have been playing through the quickstart and quickly got the hang of the rules and interpreting the outcomes of the multiple dice, which is the core aspect of the system.

Terminators are tough to kill in this game, as it should be, and the rules back this up. Running or being creative are the best responses to this, because with perseverance and luck they can be defeated. The dice mechanics, traits, hope and fate really allow each character to take thier moment in the spotlight, they just gotta hope the spotlight itself isn't attached to a HK hovering above!

I liked the game so much I set up the fan group over on FaceBook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/TerminatorRPG

An excellent preview of the Terminator RPG. The rules are explained well, now updated to match the full rules, and the included scenario does a great job of evoking the feel of the future war of the terminator world. The machines are hard to stop, the risks are high, but the fun to be had is immense. Well done Nightfall Games for grabbing my attention and ensuring I buy in to all that you produce for this game line.
