You're gonna need two coffins.
The near future holds many uncertainties, but one that is not uncertain is that it will be bloody. Warfare engulfs North America. The Coalition is fighting a two front war against both Free Quebec and Tolkeen, while Lazlo fights against the Xiticix hordes with the aid of Wild Psi-Stalker Clans. Further to the south, The Federation of Magic is embroiled in their own internal conflicts, those against the Coalition, and against souls stealing Xombies from beyond the grave. Cyber-Knights fight against the Vampire kingdoms, as does Lone Star. Lastly, Kingsdale and Whykin are squaring off for the battle that has been six years in the making, a small mini-Tolkeen conflict.
The only question is where do you stand?
Looks like you better make it three.

The Theme.

In a world of missery and suffering, what makes you fight on. When surrounded by hopelessness and an almost alien world what gives the characters hope? This is about the human struggle for survival in a harsh shitty world. A battle between the human spirit, and the demonic forces that want to control earth. Can you take it back?
The human spirit is hard to kill (even with a chainsaw), it is that which enables us to fight insurmountable odds and survive; or die trying. This spirit is what got Man through the Dark Age; it allowed man to survie demons, hopelessness, isolation, plagues, and starvation.
A group of heroes chooses to make a difference; just when, where, and how. Will this group have the spirit they need? Will they make a difference?
