Temporal Incursion

Temporal Incursion is a simple rpg game system about reality-warping Agents working to fix a damaged timeline within three hours of real time.

The game is designed for short missions that take place inside stable incursions, bubbles of reality surrounding objectives somewhere in space and time. An incursion collapses after three hours of real world time has passed. When the incursion collapses, the game ends and any agents not at the extraction point are unstuck from spacetime and lost forever.

Agents are regular humans and don't have any innate special powers.  However, they can destabilise the incursion slightly to warp reality in their favour, allowing them to bend luck or perform supernatural feats at the cost of reducing the amount of real time remaining before reality collapses and everybody dies.

The core game mechanics are adapted from 24XX by Jason Tocci, but with a new stress system and reality warping powers. The game rules are all presented on a single page, with an additional page of tables for generating time-travelling missions for agents to go on.

This is a bit experimental, so please let us know if you tried it out and how it went!
