General Summary

ATC2 was a blast, but it did leave some things unresolved... and put ideas in the head of Todd, who planned either a short game or a short story off and on for years to deal with those. The rebooting of ATC3 provided him with enough inspiration to start the idea anew, and thus was ATC Gaiden (formerly ATC2.5) born. The game is a "whenever there's time" sort of affair, planned to be starting in late September/early October of 2008. Some players will be reprising their roles from ATC2, others may be playing entirely new characters as their interest and the situation warrants. The cast list is entirely at Todd's fiat, primarily for his own sanity as running this will be concurrent with doing his doctoral dissertation.

The game's full title is "ATC Gaiden: It's A Wonderful Life". There is a mirror website available with logs, etc. as well.

Game Information

ATCG takes place in mid 2091, approximately one year after the end of ATC2 and the massive gap in peoples' lives caused by the Brain Flu. The dominant social character of the day is the need to be left alone while people pick up the pieces of their lives and get things back in one piece again. However, not everyone has been sitting on their hands and re-wallpapering the kitchen. The world-shaking events of ATC2 have left a curious number of doors open for people who see the right opportunities arising. Of course, are their plans in the best interest of humanity...?
