Project Sunburn rough draft

Project Sunburn is an homage to the following movies:
  • Hunter Prey
  • Jurassic Park
  • Star Wars, to an extent
  • Six-string Samurai
  • Pitch Black
I should elaborate. Long stretches of perilous survival punctuated by frantic fire-fights with a couple groups of opponents. It is by no means post-apocalyptic. I'm breaking that habit, dammit!

Basic idea is as follows: The players' ship crashed (big surprise) on a desert planet. They need to escape via spaceship. Remember these guys?


They've taken up various forts and bunkers on the surface. I'll need to invent a major population (native). They are the main antagonists- militaristic, efficient, and adapted to the planet. They also drink salt water, just to be a dick to the players (they'll need a purifier).

More details later. For now, I'm trying to establish the main "theme" as well as the atmosphere. I imagine a lot of Rammstein is going to be involved.
So I was thinking today, "I really need a blog so I can remember all of these fantastically amazing thoughts I'm having."

Then I remembered I already have a blog...

Anyhow. More things to come, as well as a lot of field reports. Consider this brain-dump space. Now I'm going to frenzy up a tag-storm.
