Collateral Damage


Picture it: your favorite movie.

What are you thinking of? Is it an action flick, a mystery, or a sweeping romance? Can you hear the ring of steel on steel as warriors cross swords on blood-soaked battlefields, or the screams of teenagers being picked off one-by-one by the killer in their midst? Can you picture the sweat glistening on the hero’s brow as he un-holsters his revolver, or does your heart beat faster as you remember the first time the alien burst from the body of its unsuspecting victim?

Now that you have your movie, you’re going to add a character: You.

Yes, you’re there. But you’re not a hero; at least, not THE hero. You won’t be swashing any buckles today. You’re just regular old you, trying to survive. When a building explodes during an alien invasion, you’re one of the poor schmucks running for their life.

Welcome to Collateral Damage: a fast-paced tabletop roleplaying game about action-packed movie mayhem. The object is to tell a hilariously fun, thrilling story together as a group.

An average game session of Collateral Damage is played as one-shot scenarios that average around two to three hours to finish and is designed to have one SM and two to six players.

STAY ALERT, BE SAFE AND GOOD LUCK.
