This is the end of the world. Not just one end, but any end. It’s all ends.
Terminus Est is about turning the powers of darkness against themselves, ending the world of those who would end your world.
The Terminus Est RPG is set one year from now. Now, though, is whenever you choose. This book assumes that “now” is one of four periods. The first is the time of the Black Plague, the late 1340s. The second is 1918, the end of the Great War. The third is 2010, the present. The last is 2254, The War for the World.
Until the Apocalypse, the world is as we know it. At least, that’s the default. Rip the game apart. Do what works best for your players. This is why one of our example settings is purely fictional, and one is an alteration of the modern world. This game is released under a Creative Commons license. We encourage you to develop custom material.
I won’t waste time explaining what an RPG is. This is likely not your first one. If it is, there are plenty of excellent resources such as: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-playing_game

Brilliant intro. Short, sweet, and no ‘what is a roleplaying game’ bull that everyone has read a hundred times. The end is near! Can’t wait for the download.
