What is the Game

A Delta Green-esque game set in Anchorage, AK early 2002. Not beholden to any set lore. Uses Luke Gearing's Violence as the base. House rules to come.

Why Anchorage, AK

1. High missing persons per capita & violent crime rate.
2. Incredibly isolated.
3. International hub.
4. A place that exists solidly for me but is (likely) unknown to my players.
5. Long been an attraction to hippies, dreamers, artists, fundamentalists, criminals, free-thinkers, preppers.
6. HAARP and isolated military stations.
7. Home to many Federal Agencies and resources, including military.

Why 2002

1. The Global War on Terror and War in Afghanistan are in full swing. The Invasion of Iraq is on the horizon. Nationalism, xenophobia, and paranoia have gripped the nation.
2. Cell phones exist but not smartphones, gaps in cell coverage are common. Especially in Alaska.
