On The Beach
"This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang with a whimper"
-T S Eliot
In 1962 the world finally ended.
As predicted, it destroyed itself in the mushroom clouds that had been looming in the nightmares of the world ever since Hiroshima was destroyed. However it didn't end in one giant nuclear blast, but the creeping miasma of radioactive dust that crept across the globe. The northern hemisphere went silent and now the poisonous winds are slowly encroaching on Australia
"Melbourne is a wonderful place to make a movie about the end of the world"
- Eva Gardner
Think of every story, every movie, every song, every dream and
every nightmare about the end of the world.
Now imagine it becomes reality.
Is the truth stranger than fiction.
How do you wait for the End?
A serious systemless end of the world senario for 5 players. (1 session)
Heavily inspired by the novel On The Beach by Nevil Shute and the film of the same name
This is a game idea I have been working on. Its only in the ideas phase at the moment. I've got some characters and a concept and all, and i want to write alot more and playtest before offering the blurb to a convention. I have to prove the game works first. If you are interested in the game, would like to play, want it for a convention etc, or just have some comments on the blurb - please email me
