Twilight: 1984

You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!

Welcome to Twilight '84. This website details the characters and plot of a pencil-and-dice role-playing game set in a post-apocalyptic world.

Though loosely based on the Twilight 2000 game, the setting differs in important ways from its Games Designers Workshop antecedent. The campaign focuses on survival in the aftermath of a devastating full-scale nuclear war rather than the limited exchange in the original game. Instead of a millennial backdrop, the game is set after a November 1983 nuclear exchange and during the long nuclear winter of 1984.

In keeping with the original game, the players are mainly US soldiers trying to get home. The campaign was custom-written, though the bare bones of some plot ideas have been sourced from old Twilight 2000 modules. The tone is grim; the level of detail is gritty; and the game mechanics are realistic.
