Watch the Skies, a Megagame Event!
Watch the Skies is a live, all day game experience. So come join us on July 30th for an exciting event unlike anything you've ever imagined!
Watch the Skies is a live, all day game experience. Part roleplaying game and part board game, players will take on various roles as government officials, reporters, and aliens. Will humanity unite to face the alien threat, or will the nations of Earth fail to overcome their distrust of each other? It's all up to you!
The majority of the players will be put in teams as government officials from the various nations on Earth, each with a specific role to play. There's the Chief Scientist who's in charge of researching new technology, not to mention tracking down alien artifacts to help propel the nations knowledge far ahead of its rivals. Then you have the Chief of Defense, who will be in charge of martialing the nation's military forces in defense against both terrestrial and extra-terrestrial threats. There's also a UN Delegate who will conduct diplomacy in the international community, and deal with various crises. A Deputy Head of State will deal with shady black market deals for alien tech and command the nation's spies. Finally, each nation team is headed up by the aptly named Head of State whose job is to cordinate the nation's "big picture."
Several lucky players will be journalists, each trying to claim the Pulitzer Prize. If you're part of one of the nations, make sure you stay on their good side - what they say about your nation can have a huge effect on the game!
