This is the end of civilization, the end of the reign of Man on Earth.
The final days are at hand, and all the peoples of Earth face their imminent demise.
The Endtimes can be used as the stage of an Endtimes campaign, or as elements for campaigns in other time periods. It is generally assumed that Endtimes campaigns will be set in the 2040s, but it is rather easy to start at any point.
This information is all KEEPER'S EYES ONLY. Although a lot of this information will be valuable for players of Endtime campaigns, Keepers should decide on just what to let them know, and what is accurate for their campaign.
4/10/2002 It should be pretty obvious that I haven't worked on this in quite a while, now. The reason is because around 1/1/2001 I became a freelance writer. I'm now doing that full time. Unfortunately, that means I pretty much have to focus creative energies just on marketable projects. So that means Endtimes is on an indefinite backburner. Ah well.
Following text, including the link to Holding On in Sections, are only present in the 01/01/2001 update
Many specific details on individuals and specifics, like which NPCs from Delta Green are still around and doing what, are omitted. I'd rather not muck about too directly with the work of others.
Keepers are free to extrapolate from Pagan
Publishing's work. I'm still doing consistancy checks for Countdown information.
Feedback: Let me know what you think, what you want me to work on
next, what you like or don't like and why.
Coming back to work on this project after a break. I took a breather after finishing the story Holding On. Now I'm going over look issues, and may do a bunch of rewrites before working on new material. I also have some interesting ideas for future progress... Interesting note, I first began working on this thing three years ago, around November 1998! Yow! What a long, strange trip.
Thanks for the support!
Last update: 01/01/2001
Thanks to the Man in Black for spiffy new logos. I'm using my own stuff now, but he inspired me to take a harder look at site design. Other big plan is to include a lot of NPCs, sample groups, sample sub-settings, and so on.
