Picnic on the curb

[yellow]

Do you hear about brothers Strougatsku? They are russian sci-fi writers. "Picnic on the curb" is one from their most famous books. You cant belive it, but this book was writed in 70h, a long before the Mordheim ;D The meaning is same. On the Earth have several dangerous zones which is result of alien activity. This zones is realy strange and dangerous grounds, mainly this is abandoned cities. In this zones have a alien artefacts which try to find stalkers - illegal adventurers. Even deadly risk cant stop they. But zone is the realy terrifing place...This idea lie in the base of PC game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. the shadow of Chernobyl

So, what you think about game in style of WWII Mordheim? The territory across ground zero, the result of terrifing experiment. There have a lots of interrest thins and many partys which need it. It`s can be game which closer to RPG, with game master who control the anomalyes, zone creatures and traps. Models can be in small quantity in begin. But the game size can be extended and include the squads and vehicle action. Not so big like WH40K but larger than Mordheim and Necromunda. Zone is no mans lands, no one side have not a supremacy and therefory use a small forces for searching artefacts. Hostile environment also have direct influence to the gameplay. Near sample is death jungle world like Catacha in WH40K. But in zone all is mush deadly and darker.

OK, this your opinion about me and PC game STALKER. So what you think about my idea?

[CommieRabbit]

Hehe, I was just joking since STALKER has been delayed multiple times already and was supposed to come out 3 years ago.

As for your idea, I think if it had a great dark and post-apocalyptic setting it would really be a cool and interesting game.

I`we read the sci-fi book "Subway", this is realy dark thing. It`s about survivors in a nuclear war, dwelling in underground system of Moscow subway. Realy dark book. Old lines of Moscow subway which was digged in 30-50h years planned as gigantic bomb shelters.

Might be a cool idea for some sort of campaign/expansion pack, but personally I would prefere to have the general game with some of the historical fronts (perhaps those could be like codex books or whatever) and later on have a few 'unique' locations like the one you mentioned. Just my 2 cents!!!

i'm not too keen on the idea to be honest.

wow, this is a really cool idea

[malika]

This ruined city idea is cool, perhaps it could be like a "prequel" to the game, so we start of with this and later on when it becomes a bit more successful we could move to a larger scale. So it would be US, German and Russian forces only then I guess.

What about another idea, doing this later as a little add on?

Ruined city works for me. Soldiers trapped without much reinforcements (perhaps they are all dying of radiation poisoning due to slow exposure after the city was nuked) explaining lack of vehicles/air support/artillery.
