THE ENTROPY EFFECT: Coming Soon from Gethsemane Games

Long ago a mysterious interstellar race calling themselves the Gubulon broke reality with their forbidden experiments.

Deep in space one of their laboratory vessels was stricken by a disaster of it's own making. Breaking up the vessel found itself, somehow, on a small planet in the Sol system.

Now, in a desperate attempt to repair the harm they have done the Gubulon send small 'Reality Repair Teams' to earth to re-capture the escaped experiments and to restore reality to how it should be. Composed of clones grown from captured human genetic material spliced with the Gubulon's own DNA the reality repair teams search the Earth for signs of the escaped creatures that warp reality wherever they go. By following rumours of the strange and weird these 'Entropy Stalkers' must close in on their prey and all the time seek ways to undo the damage done, to restore reality to it's default settings.

As Entropy Stalkers the PCs must join the reality repair teams and descend to Earth to join the never ending mission to put right what their masters got wrong. To chase the madness and go into the very heart of warped reality to try and repair what was broken. All the while without revealing themselves, their mission or the truth to the natives of 21st century Earth.

THE ENTROPY EFFECT

A game of reality warping sci-fi horror on contemporary Earth.

Due for release in October 2017.


Adventure Modules for The Entropy Effect, coming in 2017/2018

'Sharp Teeth Pretty Teeth' – An introductory mission for first time reality repair teams. As they are inserted via stealth shuttle over the Alaskan interior the teams shuttle is hit by an unexplained EMP pulse that causes it to crash. The team must escape the ruined shuttle, destroy all evidence of extra-terrestrial technology and escape the crash site before the local Terran's can investigate.

Meanwhile, entropy mutants stalk the area and the town the PCs are heading for has just been attacked with fatal results. Can the PCs contain the problem and either save the mutant's by restoring reality or, failing that, eradicate the mutants before they can do any more harm?

(I will probably include this one in the main rule book as a starting adventure).

'Talbot Syndrome' – One of the survivors of the mutant attack on the town was medi-vaced to Anchorage for treatment, but with other survivors being tainted the PCs realise they must follow, find the man and stop him from mutating. Are they already too late? And what are the strange things that haunt the hospitals mortuary and laboratory? How are they connected to the casualty or is this a new threat?

'The 13th Floor' – A New-York hotel with a history of unexplained disappearances and strange going's on draws the teams attention. Why does it's Entropy level fluctuate from zero (normal) to alarmingly close to a full blown reality fracture? What happened to the guests that have disappeared over the last 4 decades?
How come the lift seems to be heading to the 13th floor of a hotel that only has 12?

'Bleak House' - The Abramovitch house has been abandoned since before Alsaka was bought from the Russian's. The locals won't go near it for fear of what they say lives there. Those foolish enough to ignore the warnings either disappear or come back half mad with fear and telling wild tales. Yet none of the tales that victims of that place tell seem to match. Just what is going on at the old mansion, and can the team survive long enough to repair what is broken?

'A Tornit of Willow' – A dozen people swear they saw the Sasqatch watching them as they fished in the river north of the small town of Willow. One claims he followed it's tracks and found a stand of trees that had been uprooted and planted upside down. The indigenous people speak of a race of hairy giants in the woods with a long standing grudge against mankind, and there is a strange, oily, substance in the river that mutates all it touches. Can the Entropy Stalkers get to the bottom of what is really going on and can they put reality back together again?

'Number Station' – The Entropy Stalkers hear a mysterious transmission, one of Earth's many mysterious 'Number Stations', only this one seems even more mysterious than most. According to their research the transmission seems to be coming from a decommissioned cold-war listening station at 'Coopers Creek'. A place that has already claimed one expedition, academics from MacReady springs who responded to a similar radio transmission over 20 years ago and were never seen again. Now the last survivor of the failed Forest Ranger expedition sent after the missing academics is suffering from Dementia but the impossible stories he tells of what happened in 1993 may contain more truth than anyone but the Entropy Stalkers dare imagine.
