Twilight: 2000: Difference between revisions

[[Tabletop Games|Tabletop game]] set in the aftermath of World War Three (which took place in the late 1990s in that universe) and popular during the 1980s. Still played today, though -- RPOL has a number of games in the setting.

Suffered massively from [[The Great Politics Mess -Up]], rapidly becoming redundant with the end of the [[Cold War]]. The second edition featured [[Alternate Timeline|a new timeline]], which didn't prove popular. Especially in Germany, since whereas NATO launching a land invasion of Poland made some kind of sense when the latter was part of [[Commie Land]], [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|the new timeline basically had Germany starting WWIII by invading Poland.]] This led some players to [[Fanon Discontinuity|disregard it]] and use the original timeline, treating the whole thing as an exercise in [[Alternate History]].

A science-fiction RPG from the same publishers advanced the first-edition timeline three hundred years and moved the action [[Recycled in Space|into Earth-colonized space]]. Originally called ''Traveller: 2300'', the name was soon changed to ''[[Twenty Three Hundred2300 AD]]'' since it had nothing to do with any flavor of the ''[[Traveller (Tabletop Game)|Traveller]]'' RPG. ''2300 AD'' featured [[Cyberpunk]] influences, a war with aliens who were [[Justified Trope|biologically obligated]] to be a [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Warrior Race]], and the French domination of Earth and interstellar politics.

[[I Thought That Was|Not be confused]] with ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'', with which it probably doesn't have a large crossover demographic. Though a crossover fic between the two would be [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilarious]], confusing the two is one of the [[Things Mr. Welch Is No Longer Allowed to Do In An RPG]]. Compare to ''[[The Morrow Project]]'', a similar post-apocalyptic RPG.
