This is a time line for the After the Dark chronicles.

 After the dark 1.0 (Strike Force Omega) Using the d20 Modern system. Late to mid 2001
This was the first game in the setting. Things in this game where close to ATD 2.0 Omega World of
Darkness. In fact being the first game I used a lot of things from this 1.0 game to shape the second game.

This game started with the player characters working for the United States Armed Forces as slaves. They
where approached by the Omega Foundation during the first session of the game. After joining they where
put together as Strike Force Omega. About 6 game sessions where done on earth. While on Earth they
stopped bad guys, and did various dramatic scenes. An interesting note the relationship between Gamma
and Omega was a rough one, the where almost Rivals, and played a game of tag/assassin for the first 4
sessions. Slowly the two teams worked things out and a truce was formed before the half way point of the
story and they end of the world.

Shadow, AKA John Smith, AKA The Avatar of Adventure, AKA The Avatar of Secrets is a half-elf from
the Realm. He was used as a main NPC in this first story.

The player that was the team leader did an Amazing job being a part of the White family ironically the
same player was also the follower of Shadow and was involved with Scarlet, three main plot points that in
the 2.0 story I split between three different players. All three plot points are a handful to deal with and I
was amazed that one player was able to have them all and still have a lot of fun with the game. The Scarlet
subplot being exceptionally difficult to deal with seeing as how it has broken at least 2 other gamers in
future games.

It is soon learned by the player characters that the Delta’s are out to end the world and go to the Realm and
live in peace away from humanity that is out to destroy Meta-Humans. The PC’s unable to stop the Delta’s
flee to the Realm and try to make the best of a realty bad outcome.

When they get to the Realm the next 6 sessions finish out the Chronicle and the PC’s are able to get a hold
of a artifact that is able to restore Earth and let the PCs win in the end.

As a major twist in Session 7 (only 1 session after the players have been in the realm) the PC’s wake up
and 16 years have passed. They discover that most of the PC’s had been corrupted and had become evil
villainous versions of them selves. King Ian White (the leader character) Ironically Codenamed the Black
Knight had become so foul that the character that was second in command was plotting to kill him off.
Because there are ways to resurrect people in this land the second in command tried to use a time spell to
make it so the king where never borne, and it was while casting this spell that things went wrong (or good
for the heroes) and the PC’s minds where reset to just before they entered the Realm.

The players made it though the many twists and turns that lead to the finally of the story and the recovery
of the earth as they knew it. In the end most of the PC’s opted to stay in the realm and live happily ever
after with family and friends they had made along the way.

Desire played a character who was a lesbian, who had a tragic love life. Most of the Details of the Realm
including Avatars, the 2 main Gods and the Agency a fantasy CIA like group where created during this
story this lead to other games that took place in the Realm to happen.

The player characters of the realm game where so cool that the Realm part of this game was used in at least
three Dungeons and Dragons stories set in the Realm. The kingdom of White was used in 2 of the three and
work has been done little by little to make the Realm a complete gaming world.

The 1.0 hero story was created around 7 years ago.

  After the dark 2.0 (Strike Force Omega) Using the New World of Darkness rules set and my own
custom super hero rules with help from a wiki hero game. Played around Mid 2008

The idea of playing a super hero game came up in the group and I said that I had something I ran once,
and it would be interesting to run it and see how players did things differently or the same for that
matter.

So characters where created and roles where created, Jasper played Alexander White (he started with
amnesia) and Ryan played Stryker his second in command. A lot of the same things happened in the
second story, but changes where made because this was my chance to do things different the second
time around. For starters I flushed out the Omega Foundation, added team Alpha (the all American
Team) and added the tragic and mysterious end of team Beta. Another big difference was that the PC’s
did not start out working for the government as slaves. The world was worked out a bit better, I added
the back story of Crazy Charlie who was a 70%er who nuked parts of Ohio, and of Jill Green the first
monkey and holder of the key to finding a cure to the M-virus.

The PC’s started the game near the time when the Meta-Human registration act came into existence.
They where soon recruited by Facet and they joined the Omega Foundation as Strike force Omega.

Jasper was told out of game that the game would take place in two parts. The first half happens on
earth before the end of the world, and the second half in the Realm after the end of the world. He was
told that the Whites are genetically programmed to follow requests of one and another and that he
would be asked to not interfere with the Whites plans. I felt that this was something I needed to do
because if the PC’s spent to much time trying to stop the Delta’s it would be a pointless story. Jasper
was a great sport and because he understood that the entire plot of the story would be ruined if he did
not going a lot with it, he played along. Interestingly enough the third time I tried to run this story the
person who was picked to play the role of the White, did not go along with the (world is going to end
and you’ll fix it later) requirement. When it came to game time three episodes into the ATD Omega 3.0
the player had a real problem with the story and even went so far as to punch holes in the given plot.
Needless to say that attempt to run the game again was ruined and I stepped down as GM to take a
break.

Some major differences between the 1.0 and 2.0 stories are.

 Only Strike force Delta, Gamma and Omega where in the Story.
 Scarlet while starting on team Gamma ended up being a major player through out the entire story.
 Rex started as a bad guy / rival of the team but ended up being a very close ally.
 Shadow played a huge part in the 1.0 story and much less so in the 2.0 story.
 The players did not start out as slaves that happened in game as things for Meta-Humans got
worse and worse.
 The 2.0 game did not advance to the point where the world was saved. One of the main characters
Quit leaving the Gaming group who played that version only 3 players and a GM. The 2.0 game
never got to the 16 year evil PC subplot. So only ¾ of the story was finished.
Strike Force Omicron (The what if game) Mid 2009

This game took place 6 months game time, after the world would have been destroyed by the Delta’s. In
this game the Delta’s did not plan the destruction of earth. Jasper played his old character Alexander White
and was assigned to lead a new team called Omicron. This game lasted around 7 episodes and was a
interesting continuation of the game. A new Team called Omicron along with Team Beta 2 was added to
the Omega Foundation roster. The PC’s had to deal with a new Enemy an invading force from the realm.
The PC’s deal with more Drama from the villain Ultra Lord. Characters where put on different teams and
some of the characters had died during an out of game world event. It was a chance to advance the story
and show what could have happened.

Dawn of the End --- This game that started in June of 2010

This game follows another path to the Omega Foundation story; it is the story of Team Beta. An interesting
thing about this game is that something could go wrong, they PS’s could mess up and there could be a
Tragic/Mysterious event that removes the team from existence. Or on the other hand they could see it
coming and stop the event that destroys Team Beta. It is all very exciting.

The slow build of Meta-Human world events is happening again. And after five episodes Team Gamma has
only just joined TOF. When Omega joins the Meta-Human Registration and Protection act will both be in
effect so like the 1.0 story Omega will join straight as slaves of the government. Another change to this
take on the story is Supernatural’s have been added to the world for the first time.

Rage After the Dark (The Werewolf Experiment) June of 2010

This game is happening along with Dawn of the End, during the same time in the same city. It is an
experiment with the addition of Supernatural’s to the world setting.
