A Terminator RPG has just been announced by Nightfall Games, the publisher of SLA Industries. There's no information yet -- just a Facebook page!
You'll understand when they publish a 2D20 version of this very thread.Wait. A licensed game that's not from Modiphius? I don't understand.
The way I did quasi-homebrew was based off the premise of Sarah Conner Chronicles: Players are time-shifted resistance agents in the present, trying to find ways to sabotage the creation of Skynet and protect future resistance members and each other from time-traveling Terminators. I ran basically a "season" where there was a single Terminator they were trying to find and stop, and a human scientist who developed a critical piece of Skynet tech they had to find a way to stop. The stories are going to have common elements, but you can always find ways to mix them in new and exciting ways.The only issue I'd have with the setting is that it's tough to find a wide variety of plotlines to explore, as demonstrated by all but the first two movies.
I wonder whether they'll include world-building support for both the present-day and post-apocalyptic sides of the setting.

The series cliffhanger also makes a great jumping off point for a campaign.The Sarah Connor Chronicles did pretty well at diversifying the plots though, you’ve got the whole time travel shtick and a whole lot of competing agendas on what they future should look like.
I'd buy that for a dollar!Now if they can just secure the license to a Robocop RPG too...
It's more inspired by sitcoms than an actual license, but...When are they going to start licensing Sitcoms? Perfect Strangers rpg.
