OTish; new game

[weswood]

I started a game with my 11 year old daughter tonight. She's not into WWIII games, more into horror. I thought I'd throw an alien invasion at her. She rolled up a 12 year old kid as a character who has ridiculous combat skills for a kid.

1st session: She's at home alone, her parents out on a date. (No I wouldn't leave her at home at this young age in real life.) Lights, computer & television go out. She goes outside, whole 'hood is out. She happens to notice the traffic on State Highway 146 is stopped, all the cars are dead, no lights anywhere, people standing in the road, cell phones out. Goes inside the house, gets a machete and flashlight, starts following the crowd of stranded drivers towards town.

She walks about a mile where there's a Walgreen's Drugstore, and uses a hairpin to try to pick the lock. A passerby stopped her and while they were argueing, there was a low deep rumble coming from the direction of Houston. Soon, there's a huge flash of blinding light, a glowing column of light reaching towards the sky and a roiling dark cloud. She ran home after that. After a little prodding, she remembered Dad's stash of guns, her German Sheperd and her bicycle. She loaded the bike's basket with Dad's 1911 & HK4 .380, strapped a semiauto shotgun across her back and tied a .22LR lever action rifle to the bike's handlebars. We stopped for the night there, I've got a raging toothache, I was having trouble thinking.

Next, giant eggs are going to fall from the sky. Different size eggs- small ones will hold 4' bipedal black cats armed with electromagnetic repeating crossbows, larger eggs will hold air & ground assault vehicles.
