Title: Danger 5 and the Flooded Earth
Post by: Freelancer on April 13, 2021, 11:11:01 PM: Had a four way game set somewhere in the not too distant future.
Hitler has used time portals to escape the 40s. He discovers a time when the ice caps have melted and rising sea levels have flooded the Earth. Realising the planet and civilisation are now at his mercy, he sets about using his time technology to conquer the future.

Meanwhile, Danger 5 and a special task force have accessed one of the time portals and are on a mission to destroy the time machine, save the future... and of course... Kill Hitler!

Looting gangs are another hazard of the time

As well as bands of nihilistic doomsday cultists

Jackson makes an alliance with the gangs, but the truce falls apart when the looters hit the jackpot!

Tucker and Claire commandeer a boat to navigate the city, but come under fire from Hitler's goons

Ilsa and Pierre find Hitler's lair and destroy the time machine. Unfortunately Hitler was able to escape by leaping out of a window. Whether he survived the 4 storey fall into the flooded streets... only time will tell.

Beautiful.

I really like the converted playmobil ship. I converted one myself but this one looks much better and suited for multiple periods.

Post by: Plynkes on April 14, 2021, 08:02:18 PM: Things seem to have taken a decidedly J.G. Ballardian turn. But with time travel and Nazis! I approve. :)
Title: Re: Danger 5 and the Flooded Earth
Post by: Freelancer on April 15, 2021, 08:49:44 AM: Indeed. The main inspiration for this game came from the one of the first Valerian books, City of Shifting Waters.
Title: Re: Danger 5 and the Flooded Earth
Post by: Plynkes on April 15, 2021, 09:36:38 AM: Right. Not familiar with those. Is that the French comic strip they made into a movie a couple of years ago?

Obviously,I was thinking of J.G. Ballard's post apocalyptic stuff, specifically "The Drowned World", which itself I think could be pretty gameable, with scientists and soldiers of the last vestiges of government battling scavengers and crocodiles in the ruins of flooded London. You don't get any time-travelling Nazis, but I guess not everyone's tastes lean towards a game quite as 'out there' as that.

Anyway, love the concept. Nice one.

I’ve got a similar project but it’s on the back burner currently, but seeing your photos makes me want to do so more
