Since all four can be added to any campaign, I've been thinking of what it would be like to mix them all together. I imagine it would be something like this:"In the early twenty-first century, Judgement Day has come and gone, and humanity was not judged favorably.When Skynet unleashed the nuclear holocaust, followed by the plague of Terminators and Hunter-Killers, humanity found itself in a desperate battle for survival. The machines hunt humans mercilessly, never slowing, never tiring, never giving up. The surviving humans are forced to live worse than animals, and as time goes on Skynet invents new and deadlier machines to wipe out the pockets of resistance, such as the T-1000. John Connor and his Tech-Com forces lead the resistance, and though they put up a good fight, humanity is slowly edging towards extinction.Then a new hero emerged. Calling himself only Ash, he strode seemingly out of nowhere. Curiously knowing nothing about Skynet or the Terminators, he took to the combat like a natural. Together with John Connor, the resistance begins to push back the machine forces. The victory is short-lived however. Ash had not come alone. Demonic forces from a realm beyond mortal knowledge had been awakened, and the "deadites" begin to attack the living. Humans spontaneously become zombies. Trees animate and begin attacking people. Hell has literally come to earth. Skynet, lacking understanding of why some humans suddenly become much harder to kill, or how their body parts remain active after being severed, desperately tries to reevaluate, capturing some of the "zombies" to experiment on, leading to the creation of the Kandarian I-950, the deadliest Terminator yet. The small ground that humanity had gained with Ash's arrival is quickly lost...Then, it gets worse, as threats from beyond the stars manifest.The race of extraterrestrials known only as the Predators have been periodically visiting Earth for centuries. Now, they've returned, and find that the planet that once offered only mild challenges has become, to them, a paradise. The humans are less numerous, but are much tougher now, a true joy to hunt. More numerous are the strange machines that seem designed to slaughter, their mechanical abilities countering enough of the Predators' technology that they quickly become prime hunting material. Just to add their own twist to things though, the Predators release captured specimens of their perrenial prey, the black-shelled creatures called only Aliens, onto the Earth. Soon though, the Predators realize that even they may have bitten off more than they can chew. Neither the humans nor the Terminators show any fear in being hunted, and strangely, things that should not move do...sometimes even captured trophies have come back to life to attack the hunters who took them. The Predators are proud though, and refuse to admit that they've taken on something they can't handle. They'll out-hunt the other creatures on this planet, or die trying.The Aliens soon spread out across the blasted earth, finding the underground-dwelling humans perfect for carrying their brood. Soon massive underground nests are formed, sending out fearless drones to scour the surrounding area. Doing so proves more difficult than the hive queens expect though. Their ancient foes, the Predators, are out in force. Strange, metal creatures walk, ones that are heard to tear or bite through, and cannot have an egg implanted in them. Other beings simply keep going when the new Alien bursts forth, and sometimes the dead carcasses of captured carriers rise up to attack their hosts, curiously unaffected by being ripped apart.As for the humans, they are more beleagured than ever. Battered on all sides from relentless Terminators, invisible Predators, fearless Aliens, and the taunting Evil Dead, extinction seems certain now. But some hold out hope. Neither Ash nor John Connor are willing to give up the fight, and look for men to stand with them in what will be the last and greatest battle for the planet. Do you have what it takes to join them? Will you risk life, limb, and even your immortal soul to take back the world that should belong to you? Are you worthy of being called...a hero?"Aliens vs. Predator vs. Terminator vs. the Evil Dead (vs. humans) - coming soon to a campaign setting near you.</blockquote>
