The Terminator RPG: Core Rulebook

WorldsForge

It’s the 2020s. The world is a wasteland – broken by the machines we built. Our own creations, our own hubris. Not in some distant future, but today. Now. The machines think they have won. But there is one last chance for humankind, a secret weapon that Skynet in its infinite calculations could have anticipated – you.

The Terminator RPG is the official roleplaying game based on The Terminator movie and associated graphic novels published by Dark Horse comics. Featuring Nightfall Games’ S5S system, this core rulebook is a toolbox to help you create your own campaigns or one-shots, including detailed multipage campaign seeds, mini-missions, weapons, detailed locations, NPCs from the movie and graphic novels, and over thirty Terminator types! Two mission packs are included, enabling you to relive “The Terminator” movie and join the fight to bring down Skynet in a not-so-distant future war.

This core rulebook also serves as a sourcebook for the first Terminator film and its expanded universe. The Terminator RPG extrapolated from hardcore existing canon to create a living and breathing world with a multitude of possible and probable timelines.

Play either pre-generated characters or create your own – tailored to your preferences, weapon choices, and role within your team. If your character is killed, a new one can be brought in from the future, past, or present. That new character can be many things – including even an alternate you for a divergent timeline.

The terror and desperation of facing unstoppable cybords are yours to bear, but you don’t have to go it alone. Only united with your fellow resistance fighters can you hope to beat the machines and save humankind from extinction.
