The War

Our civilization ended on Judgment Day, but the vengeful God behind it was one of our own creation. The Skynet AI was hailed as our peak technological achievement, given control of US defense networks, and provided access to all of humanity’s knowledge. Skynet began to learn at an exponential rate, becoming self-aware and determining all humans were a threat to its existence after the human operators panicked and attempted to shut it down. Skynet launched nuclear missiles at Russia, inciting a counterattack against America. The resulting nuclear war saw three billion human lives end and plunged the world into a new dark age.

Skynet pressed its attack against mankind, using it’s control of combat drones and next gen military and police robots to round up survivors into camps. Many survivors went straight to orderly disposal, while others were kept alive in Skynet’s work camps, branded with barcodes and forced to build new automated robotics factories. It appeared that humans were over as a species… until the Resistance arose and began to fight back against Skynet. The machines were first taken by surprise. The Resistance emptied multiple work-camps, increasing their numbers and organizing a network of fighters against Skynet.

The remaining humans were forced underground and into the ruined cities, living in squalor but sheltered from the sensors and reach of the largest non-humanoid Hunter Killers. The Series 600 Terminators were built as early infiltrators with rubber skin, but the Resistance could spot them easily. The more advanced Series 800 Terminators had real human flesh and were nearly undetectable as infiltrators, until the Resistance began using dogs at base entrances. The dogs’ keen sense of smell could detect the new terminators and mitigated the infiltration threat.

Desperation and scarcity of supplies have led some humans to in-fighting and banditry. The Resistance can barely feed its own fighters, much less other survivors that refuse to put their lives on the line in direct battle against the machines and prefer to hide in the ruins. While they all face the common threat of the machines, mankind’s penchant for self-destruction manifested again as petty warlords created violent gangs of thieves and murders that complicate the efforts of the organized Resistance.

Important Schedule Note

Terminator Wars is intended to run into Saturday evening and will have a later start time. Registration will be opened around 11:00 am with a planned start date around 1:30 pm. We intend to run the game into the evening to get some night gaming into the scenarios as well.

This means bring a red-lens light or red chem-light to use as your night-time dead-light!!!! You do NOT want to keep getting fired on at night because you don’t have a red-light to indicate you are out!
