[QUOTE="Stormborn, post: 1773603, member: 14041"] The War of the Worlds aftermath sounds great. The old Marvel comics series Killraven was set in such a world (IIRC) in which humanity had degenerated into barbarism, with gladiatorial arenas and slavers. League of Extraodinary Gentlemen 2 was about the invasion and is an excellent book (don't judge the books by the movie). There was another comic, maybe called Red Horror, that i saw in Previews but never actually saw in print. GURPS Horror 3rd Ed. has a small section on a horror-scifi campaign that is set on an earth after the War of the Worlds. There was another game, a minis or wargame I think, that was set during an American Civil War foguth with martian weapons. There was a short lived TV series (early days of FOX I think) that featured martians that had been stored in drums waking and control the minds of the millitary and startign a 2nd invasion in modern times. What direction do you have in mind? Personally I think it would be kinda cool to set it in the early 20th century of an earth where the martians invaded the indsutrial centers of earth in the late 19th century. London and most of Europe fell but the US survives with only a few pockets of martian control. The germs that killed them off in various scenarios might not have wiped them out, but instead slowed there advnace and gave earth a chance to regroup. The game could be set in a retro-futuristic New York of the 1930s, with Tesla-Edison Retro Engineered weapons and walkers, where the heroes are part of an elliete martian Responce Team. Use tech from d20 Future, but give it retro names and feel. [/QUOTE]
