No much blogging, because there hasn't  been much gaming, other than the PBeM game I run, which is still going strong after a full year.  Hooray, and all that.  Another hooray for the fact that my local FTF gaming group will be meeting again this Saturday for the first time in two months.  Two months!  Stupid marching band schedule.  Anyway, I have come up with another campaign idea that I wanted to share with everybody.

Bughunters
(3:16, True20, or GURPS) - either TV series or movie
They came from nowhere, attacking without warning from the darkness of space.  These vaguely insectoid aliens destroyed part of Earth, but what they didn't destroy was the Terran spirit of survival and vengeance.  The players play Terran Marines, taking the fight to the bugs' own home planets, wiping them out with extreme prejudice.

Now, this one can be done in a lot of ways.  The basic setting is taken verbatim from the Bughunters setting published over a decade ago for the Amazing Engine system.  Amazing Engine is definitely not-awesome, but the Bughunters setting itself is absolute gold.  They system used would dictate the feel of the game.  A game using the 3:16 rules would be a testostreone-fueled romp of alien destruction.  A True20 or GURPS game would be more dark and dangerous, allowing for more character detail.  And you could totally do this up as a one-shot or a long campaign, depending on what you wanted out of it.  Lots of places to go with this one, you just have to make your choice.
