	Twilight: 2000 1st edition Accessories Twilight 2000 core sets 2nd ed. Accessories \| Finnish Accessories BROWSE MY TWILIGHT 2000 ITEMS CURRENTLY IN STOCK The 1st edition Poland modules represent the "traditional" Twilight: 2000 campaign, continuing on to America, the UK, or the Middle East. 1e modules are simple to convert to 2e, as they are all typically 'rules-light.' Mostly it is a matter of knowing that RCN50 is the same as Observation: 5 in the newer rules, for example. An experienced referee can convert "on-the-fly." Rather than listing the books in strict product order, I've arranged them thematically, which makes their progression easier to follow: Poland \| Persian Gulf \| America \| Last Submarine trilogy \| Return to Europe trilogy \| Weapon & Vehicle Guides Poland In the first five adventures, the character's focus shifts from survival, to doing what they can to help the people of Poland, and last to answer the call Home. The tone of the campaign is set in the introductory adventure Escape From Kalisz, when the player group must evade Soviet hunting parties looking for survivors of the US 5th Infantry Division. The Poland Campaign is a sandbox style RPG, where the players drive the direction of the campaign. After Kalisz, the next 4 modules each briefly convey a region in post-war southern Poland and the factions vying for power therein. The PCs can ally with most any of the factions, except the Warsaw Pact (maybe). The group can itself become one of the movers and shakers in the area... if they survive! Many Twilight 2000 campaigns never left Poland. --- I chronicled our 5 Year Campaign! FROM POLAND TO AMERICA: OUR CLASSIC TWILIGHT 2000 RPG CAMPAIGN -Wayne Free City of Krakow Maks and crew in our campaign reached Kraków in 14 Aug 2000. "To the survivors of the US 5th Division, Krakow sounded like a city out of a fairy tale...a castle, an evil king, even a flying carpet....The reality was different." "The Free City of Krakow is an adventure module for Twilight: 2000. Krakow has been spared the worst of the war's devastation, and has declared itself a free city. The war is banished, and individuals are free to come and go...so long as they leave the war behind. This module is more than just a single adventure, however; it is a richly detailed setting for dozens of adventures. It contains a detailed description of the city of Krakow and its environs in the year 2000. Background material includes street maps with points of interest noted, from Wawel Castle to the "Wojo" munitions plant. Over a dozen important non-player characters are described in detail. The Krakow ORMO and the marauder bands in the surrounding countryside are detailed as to manpower, equipment, and deployment. The city's economy and the atmosphere of life there form an important part of the module. Using this as a backdrop, the module lays out several adventures which can take place in or around Krakow, and suggests more. The main adventure, "Operation Reset," thrusts the characters into the midst of intrigue and treachery, and brings them to the attention of most of the interesting (read: dangerous) citizens of Krakow. Finally, the module contains rules for incorporating helicopters into Twilight: 2000. Krakow's defense forces have an operational Mi-17 Hip (Krakow's "flying carpet"). Complete statistics on this helicopter are given along with those for the Mi-27 Hind E, Mi-20 Havoc, OH-57 Kiowa AHIP, UH-60 Blackhawk, and AH-64 Apache. The Free City of Krakow is an exciting adventure, but it's more than that. It's a gateway to a deeper, richer understanding of the world of Twilight: 2000." Design: William H.

Nothing to worry about, he says. A simple little trip down the river, straight into Warsaw, and collect our reward, he says." "Then why are alt these people shootin' at us?" Pirates of the Vistula is an adventure module for Twilight: 2000. The mighty Vistula River sets the stage for a journey from Krakow to the remains of Warsaw aboard the river tug Wisla Krolowa. But the Vistula has seen better days. The river has been left untended for years as the war raged around it, and now is overcome with debris and sandbars. All of the important forces along the river, such as the bandit and marauder units and, of course, the vicious river pirates, who virtually rule the river itself, are described in terms of organization, equipment, and motivations. The module itself is not just one adventure, but several. Together they represent life along the river, such as it is after the nearly complete destruction left in the wake of the war. Separately, they provide many adventures, from rescuing cities from tyrannous marauders to choosing sides between warring bandit kings to simply staying alive as the river pirates draw ever nearer. In addition, Pirates of the Vistula provides complete rules for a new type of warfare in the world of Twilight: 2000 — riverine combat. New rules allow the resolution of river battles quickly and easily. Pirates of the Vistula gives a rich, detailed look at the entire course of the upper Vistula and its environs, just one small section in the war-ravaged world of Twilight: 2000." Design: William H.

Nearly everyone there had been killed. But still, the ruins had things to offer -- raw materials such as metal and stone, and protection from the marauders who surrounded it. These things drew the settlers, but they also drew the Baron Czarny, and his evil army of cutthroats. Ruins of Warsaw is an adventure module for Twilight: 2000. Warsaw was leveled by six NATO nuclear devices in 1997. The city itself was in ruins, smashed into dust and debris. And the people were dead. Those who survived the blast were killed in the firestorm or by the disease and starvation which followed. Practically no one is alive who remembers the event. But time has passed. As the rads died away, the settlers moved in. The city, even in its current state, provided some protection against the bandits who ruled the countryside. They dug up the old city parks, exposed them to the light of day for the first time in three years, and planted their crops. They cleared away the debris in order to survive, using it as the raw materials for homes, tools, and defenses. The Black Baron came to Warsaw, as well. At the head of his terrible legion of marauders, Baron Czarny moved into the city, taking as his own the former Palace of Culture and Sciences. From this new Twierdza Czarny (black fortress), the evil Baron commands his horde to pillage and subjugate everyone in and around the city. Only one group still holds out against him in strength—the Milicya of Sielce. The player characters have become involved in the battle for Warsaw, between the Baron and the Milicya. As some of the few men with military training and experience, they will play leading roles commanding troops, ambushing convoys, contacting other communities, and trying to survive in the rubble and debris of Warsaw. Also in Ruins of Warsaw are the complete macro combat rules for Twilight: 2000. Now battles involving hundreds of men and vehicles may be resolved quickly, easily, and realistically. The battle for Warsaw has begun. Are you prepared to win it?" Design: William H. Keith, Jr. and Timothy B.

After fleeing the Kalisz area, our party went south into Silesia, and found the Black Madonna "'Down into that hole? You gotta be kidding! We all heard what that turnip-farmer said about this place being haunted. I don't believe in ghosts, but I wouldn't go down in that hole for all the gold in Poland!' The icon known as Our Lady of Czestochowa (commonly called the Black Madonna because of the dark patina which covers it) is the symbol of Poland's religious, cultural, and national identity. For centuries the icon's image has been a rallying standard of Polish nationalism, of Polish independence. To some men, the Madonna was a light that would lead Poland from the darkness. To others, however, the Madonna represented a different kind of hope. The owner of the Madonna could command the loyalty of the Polish people. To these men, the Madonna represented power and wealth beyond imagining. It was all a question of who found Her first. The Black Madonna is an adventure module for Twilight: 2000. Silesia, in southern Poland, is the backdrop for a quest for a religious icon of great value. Was the icon taken east by the Soviets? Was it hidden in a cave by Polish patriots? Was it destroyed when Czestochowa was bombed? Did the NATO forces who occupied the city briefly carry it west with them? Or, does it rest beneath the ruins of Czestochowa? There is only one way to know for sure... Over and above the main adventure, this module provides a picture of life in southwest Poland after the destruction of the war. The surviving cities, the resources, the petty lordlings and the major powers are given life and detail. From the court of the Markgraf of Silesia to the camps of the bandit gangs; from the ruined factories of Czestochowa and Gliwice to the slowly recovering facilities of Raciborz and Rybnik; all are described in rich detail. The Black Madonna is another expansion and addition to the growing world of Twilight: 2000." Design: Frank Frey Additional Design: Loren K. Wiseman 1985 ... 40 pages ... GDW 505 ... ISBN ?

Do they stay, and make a life for themselves in Europe? Or do they make the perilous journey home to a devastated United States? Even once decided to return home, by what means do the PCs accomplish this? Going Home provides a direction. The PCs receive word that the US is withdrawing the remnants of its forces from Europe, and the characters have a means to return home... if they can cross lawless and war-torn Northern Europe to Bremerhaven, Germany. Going Home is a fine module, if a touch thin -- after all, Poland got 4 modules devoted to it, Germany only gets treatment here. Still, it is well-written, and includes a real gem: an 11x17" color map of post-war Germany, in the same format as the Poland map in the original box set. (Careful here, as used copies are often missing this map out of the centerfold. Confirm with seller that it is present.) A three-part deep dive series I wrote to clarify the strategic situation in Germany in October 2000: Going Home – The Military Units, Part 1: North Poland Going Home – The Military Units, Part 2: The Front Lines & The South Going Home – The Military Units, Part 3: Approaching Bremerhaven In our campaign, Maks and his 300 embarked by rail on 5 November 2000: Going Home: Heading West -Wayne "It came as quite a surprise when we finally confirmed it. What remained of the big brass in Europe decided that it was time for everybody to get out of the pool, so they arranged for a few ships to take us back to America. Problem was, nobody believed that the ships would have enough room for everybody. We decided that this was the last ride going our way, and it was time to go home. The ships were leaving on November 15, and there were no reserved seats... what with thirty or forty thousand people looking for seats, it could get to be quite a game of musical chairs. Going Home is an adventure for use with GDW's post-World War III role-playing game Twilight: 2000, In Going Home, the players are presented with the challenge of getting across most of Poland and north-central Germany to catch the last ship heading back to the US for quite a while. Even if the players choose to remain in Europe, Going Home will still be of tremendous interest. The adventure contains: • A full-color pull-out map, covering northern Germany which overlaps with the full-color Poland map included in the original game. • A referee's update of the location and strength of NATO and Warsaw Pact units in their winter quarters as the year 2000 draws to a close. • A brief rundown of French units in the occupied area west of the Rhine and a discussion of French military activities in the so-called "dead zone" east of the Rhine. Also, a bonus: descriptions (in Twilight: 2000 terms) of three French helicopters. • Details and specifications, in Twilight: 2000 terms, of the German Leopard III and the British Challenger tanks, and British 120mm rifled gun."

Those preferring a more "normal" military situation could move on to the Persian Gulf, where U.S. and Soviet forces still clashed. Refined fuel drew the adversaries to the region, neither wanting to leave the other in possession. -Wayne RDF Sourcebook "When we got to Bremerhaven, we found that instead of going to America, we could ship out to the Persian Gulf and join the U.S. Central Command (the RDF, some still call it)." Contains: * A map of southern Iran. * Character generation tables for Americans (USMC, USN, and USAF), British, Iranians, Iraqis, and others. * An Order of Battle for the remaining forces in the area: U.S., Soviet, Iranian, Iraqi, Saudi, and the British, among others. * Details and specifications in Twilight: 2000 terms, of over 30 vehicles and weapons, including selected French, Israeli, British, German, and Brazilian equipment. * Short descriptions of the major personalities and organizations opposing each other in the Persian Gulf. * A mission resolution system, allowing referees to take their players on a variety of military missions, ranging from conventional patrol and escort missions to special operations deep behind the enemy lines.

For years they rested in the vaults of the Markasi Bank in Tehran, where they backed Iran's legal tender, but when the National Emergency Council governing Iran in mid-1996 abandoned Tehran and retreated to Esfahan, they took the Crown Jewels with them. In the first half of 1997, the NEC elected to move again, this time from Esfahan to Shiraz. The Iranian Crown Jewels were left behind just long enough for preparations to be made to secure them in Shiraz. Other considerations, such as the fact that even Shiraz became cut off by further Soviet advances, soon occupied the Council's collective mind. But as Esfahan looked in imminent danger of falling to the Soviets, a desperate mission to move the Crown Jewels was launched. The mission never returned; Esfahan was quickly captured by Soviet forces; and the Crown Jewels were lost in the shuffle. The Soviets assumed that the NEC had them. The Council believed that they had been captured by the Soviets. But rumors began to circulate that the jewels had simply disappeared... In King's Ransom, the players learn that someone has found the Crown Jewels and a desperate race begins to beat the KGB to the Jewel's hiding place." Design: Frank Frey and Lester W.

They could pass through Germany, departing Bremerhaven with the American scratch fleet ("Going Home"). One group I had went south through Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Yugoslavia. Some even made a massive overland trek through Russia to Alaska, a feat worthy of song. But however they got there, the America waiting for them was not the country they remembered. The nuclear attack in 1997, known as the "Thanksgiving Day Massacre" and follow-up strikes devastated the nation. Divided between CivGov and MilGov, large swathes of the country are uncontrolled by either successor. I think GDW made a huge mistake with their scattershot America approach. They should have picked a region and stuck with it. Imagine Twilight 2000 without the Poland Campaign. Instead the first four T2000 modules are: One in Italy, another in Poland, the next in Austria, and the last in Spain. That's what we got with the America campaign. -Wayne Howling Wilderness I regard Howling Wilderness as more suggestive than canon in my home games. Before HW and Kidnapped, the modules implied a fitful recovery in the USA. Then - it appears to me - GDW decided they wanted Mad Max in the USA. Perhaps the world was recovering too quickly to lead to the 2300AD timeline? I dunno. Whatever the reason, a catastrophic continent-wide drought in the US became the big meta-plot. Now even the small pockets of civilization in the United States were crumbling to dust. Some folks may enjoy that, which is great. I personally don't enjoy a campaign setting where all efforts to rebuild society are doomed. So I ignore all mentions and knock-on effects of The Drought in my game. Other than the 1000-year drought, the rest of Howling Wilderness is good material though, and is invaluable in running a Twilight America campaign. -Wayne "Howling Wilderness is a sourcebook of the United States of America for use with Twilight: 2000... It describes the events in America during the years leading up to the war. It describes the preparations for nuclear attack taken by the government, and why many of those preparations failed. It describes the attack upon the United States in November of 1997, and the aftermath of that attack. In addition, it carries the Twilight: 2000 future history through May of 2001, and summarizes conditions in the U.S. as of that date. It will also deal with the shift in weather patterns in late 2000/early 2001, and the effects this will have. Howling Wilderness contains the following: * Discussions of the status of Civgov, Milgov, and New America, including current territories as of 2001, a summary of available military forces, and a brief history of each in the years from 1997 to 2001. * Maps showing the location of each nuclear strike and details of the more important ones. * A state-by-state rundown of local conditions, concentrating upon what effects the drought will have on each. * This sourcebook also contains a special bonus: Twilight Citymaker. This is a collection of geomorphic map sections of various urban areas. We have provided a nice selection of geomorphic sections (over 100 different ones) for referees to photocopy. Using these geomorphs, referees can put together villages, towns, and fortified strongholds at a moment's notice, or make them up quickly and easily ahead of time." Design and Development: Loren K.

There are a few problems, of course... such as the fact that the city doesn't want to be controlled... and theirs is the ninth group to be given this same mission. Armies of the Night contains: * A general map of the New York metropolitan area, showing the city's five boroughs and the damage done during the war. * A more detailed map of Manhattan, showing the island's districts and major streets. * A rundown of various organizations, marauder gangs, and petty warlords vying for control of the city. * Background material on New York's recent history, on a fortune in gold lost during the war, and on aspects of life in New York -- all of which will help the referee create a consistent and believeable setting for this and other adventures set in New York."

"Remember that slogan they used to use to entice young sprouts like us into the service, before the recent unpleasantness reinstituted the draft? "Join the army and see the world," wasn't it? At least this time we get to go someplace warm, looking for a fallen star. Seems this Soviet weather satellite decided it was time to come down and picked one of the most remote, out-of-the-way locales to land in that I've ever seen (and I've seen some weird ones lately). The question of where we were going wasn't foremost on our minds, though. Why was what we wanted to know. What was so flamin' important about some commie satellite? Here's the answer we got, verbatim: "Because that little electronic box recorded every action of the war — every nuclear strike, as well as the most current and up-to-date information on wind patterns and radiation spread over the whole damn world, not to mention ozone dispersion and other weather data. Whoever has this satellite will be years ahead of the other nations in terms of knowing the extent of the climatic changes coming up." As it turned out, the most important question, which none of us asked, was "Who?" In Satellite Down, the characters get to take a trip to sunny Baja California, where they must retrieve some data cassettes from a [Soviet] weather/recon satellite that managed to record the weather patterns of the last three years. Whoever has the information on those tapes will be able to forecast the effects of the climatic changes caused by the war -- and be better able to survive them. The only thing standing in their way is a do-it-yourself messiah and a few hundred fanatic followers." Design: Blaine L. Pardoe Development: Loren K. Wiseman 1988 ... 48 pages ... GDW 522 ...

Northeast USA in the Twilight 2000 America Campaign CITY STATE: A drop-in Chicago Sourcebook for your T2000 campaign The Last Submarine Trilogy By this time, players in a traditional campaign had probably spent some time in the United States. A curve ball could be thrown at them with this series. The last submarine -- the USS Corpus Christi -- promised adventure in far away lands. -Wayne The Last Submarine "The story centers around a group of characters operating out of the remains of New London, Connecticut. This lucky group must attempt to recapture the USS City of Corpus Christi, a Los Angeles-class, fast attack submarine which has somehow found its way into the hands of a New England warlord. The warlord has managed to scrape up the necessary spare parts to repair the boat, a moderately knowledgeable crew to do the repairing and sail her once she is repaired, and a nefarious scheme which will seriously upset governmental plans along the whole eastern seaboard. The players must locate the Corpus Christi, capture her intact, and return the boat to New London for further orders. Information presented in this module includes source material for the region of southeast New England, background material on the Corpus Christi, a brief history of submarine actions in the Atlantic, and six programmed adventure sessions."

Last year, the inhabitants of Warsaw's various communities, with the aid of a few American soldiers, united to defeat the baron [Czarny]. Over the winter, the threat gone, the small communities fell to squabbling among themselves. This spring, the baron is back, with a new army, and once again threatens the communities that have taken root in the ruins of the former capital of Poland. The baron plans to conquer the communities before the winter wheat crop is ready, while the defenders are still short of food. The characters have been asked for help by Filip Kizysztof, leader of the Sielce settlement. Filip needs the characters' aid in reuniting the splintered communities to defeat the baron a second time, and in the process save what's left of civilization in this part of Poland. This booklet contains: * Revised streetmaps of the relevant portion of downtown Warsaw. * Updated histories of the Warsaw communities and the baron. * Orders of battle for the various combatants, including the remnants of the Soviet 10th Guards Tank Division. * Information for adapting the larger battles for resolution using Last Battle, GDW's new boardgame of modern and future close combat."

The armed might of King Julian of Silesia is matched against the equally powerful economic force of the free city of Krakow. Opposing them both is the Wojsko Ludowa (People's Army) of Father W. Niekarz. Krakow has mercantile connections, money, and technological expertise. The "king" has military expertise and a steadily expanding government of local warlords backed by an organized military. Father Niekarz and his followers have a devout belief in the righteousness of their cause, a burning desire to see Poland free of tin-pot dictators and petty warlords backed by "soldiers" who are nothing more than bandits -- and the Black Madonna of Czestochowa, a religious icon and a powerful symbol of Polish nationalism. For the WL's banner, Father Niekarz has chosen a white eagle (the traditional symbol of Poland) on a red field (red and white are the Polish national colors). The People's Army has no stockpiles of weapons and ammunition, no vast treasury, no great military leaders. That's where you come in... White Eagle outlines what has happened in southern Poland since the players last saw the region: the transmutation of General Julian Filipowitz into the despotic King Julian, the power struggle within Krakow for control of the region's industrial economy, the deteriorating agricultural situation that threatens to spark another round of civil unrest within the towns and villages of Poland -- these factors and others threaten the fragile blossom of civilization.

The Survivor's Guide contains a detailed order of battle for the British Army, updating previous versions and implementing several major changes, bringing the OB up to 1 January 2001. It presents British-oriented character generation tables and a consolidated reference for British military equipment, including many obsolete vehicles and weapons found in use only by local militias and marauder bands. Every major weapon is covered -- from the Humber 'Pig' and the Ferret AC up to the most advanced MBT -- with every gaming aspect fully detailed. The Survivor's Guide describes a country on the mend, desperately trying to restore order to a people who have had almost every semblance of government and society shattered by global warfare. H.M. Government controls only a portion of the country; the rest consists of an intricate tapestry of independent cities, petty dictatorships and broad bands of territory ruled only by brigands and marauders.
