Do Not Disturb The Alien Invasion

You are survivors of an alien tripod invasion. Aliens in towering Tripod machines hunt for humans across the landscape. Earth weapons are entirely useless against them, so the planet’s best chance is to discover the aliens’ weakness and send them packing. Stealth is key. Making noise means alerting Tripods, which means bringing down pain and lasers… which is obviously bad.

Do Not Disturb the Alien Invasion is a rules-light, narrative survival role playing game where noise is as much the enemy as the alien tripods it alerts. Explore towns destroyed by towering tripods, communicate with other pockets of survivors, join a resistance movement, try to find the last galactic brownie bites this side of apocalypse. Whatever you do, do it quietly! This game runs off player creativity, a deck of standard playing cards, and whatever atmospheric tension your GM can bring to the table!
