Twilight Nightmares (was Your Preferred T2K Timeline)

[sic1701]

One of the previous posters mentioned the "Twilight Nightmares" book...what was the jist of that book? I have heard of it, but know nothing about it. Can someone clarify?

I actually liked the Predator influenced Merc 2k scenario in the Brazilian rainforest.

And come to think of it, the "Warlords" scenario sounds a little like "Terminator" or even the Stephen King book/movie Maximum Overdrive.

I always thought the dinosaur scenario was a tie in to the GDW Cadillacs and Dinosaurs game (which was based on a comic). Did anyone else pick up Cadillacs and Dinosaurs? Never played it, but I was working on a T2k/Cadillacs and Dinosaurs scenario for my t2k gaming group shortly before we all parted ways. I wasn't going to tell them about crossing over into dino land either, hehe.

Well, of course you don't tell them they're crossing into dino land! I didn't tell my players they crossed into a D&D land when I did that to them, either!

I never played C&D, but I "sort of" have it. I know I have a physical copy of it around here somewhere, but I've long since scanned it so it will be easier to find.

Yeah I liked the Predator theme one in Brazil too. I would have changed a lot of the story line though and made it more like the movie Predator. I'm pretty sure that one will kill everyone off, unless they just said screw this and left.
The "Them" one was pretty cool and I think the idea was really stolen from the film Aliens. I think a line from Private Hudson was written in the book as well. The adventure in the Phillipines "THIS AIN'T NO WEATHER BALLOON" was a good story too. The rest just seemed kind of blah. I liked the idea, even though it's sci-fi and would really piss a lot of players off. We always hear of strange lights in the sky and unexplained monters, so what the hell.

I always thought it would have been cool if they did a Twilight story in Romania Transylvania with a vampire like clan or a legend of a wolf man or something lose in the country side attacking people. I guess it could be anywhere, but in Romania it would be more old school with some history to it.

And I gotta ask...how many of you have incorporated some kind of zombie-apocalypse into your campaign?
