The End Of The World Is Back!
Title: The Morrow Project 4th. Ed.
Product number: TMLGB02
Format: 250 pages, Perfect Bound, full-color cover
Price: $35.00
Cover art by: Gil Formosa
Scheduled release: Winter 2004/5
Mission Briefing:
In 1962 a mysterious man known by the name of Bruce
Edward Morrow, origin unknown, gathered nine of the
country’s leading industrialists into an organization know
as the Council of Tomorrow. He seemed to have possessed
the ability to transport himself and some small amount of
nearby matter into or out of the future. Building a convincing
argument from the future, he and the council structured
an organization dedicated to the continued survival of the
human race beyond the point of destruction.
This organization brought forth the concept of The
Morrow Project; an ambitious plan to cryogenically freeze
special teams and equipment to aid in the reconstruction of
the U.S. after the fall of civilization. For many years the
Project secretly stored their teams to await the proper time
for re-awakening.
One hundred and fifty years after the Third World War,
THE
MORROW
PROJECT
Science Fiction Roleplay in a Post Apocolypitc World
GB02
Fourth Edition
the members of the Morrow Project wake to a strange world. Instead of being part of an organized plan to rebuild our
civilization, they find themselves isolated in a world where the War is only a distant legend, the people are ignorant of
anything but the struggle to survive and strange mutated animals haunt their footsteps.
Playing the Morrow Project, you must not only survive but you must carry out your original mission: Rebuild the
world. To do this you have your equipment and training, your team and your own determination and imagination. Together
you and your teammates must try to do alone a job that thousands were trained to do.
The Morrow Project may be played with nothing other than this book, dice, paper and pencil. Included in this book
are full details on Morrow Project teams, vehicles and equipment, highly accurate combat system for modern weapons,
complete medical details, the people and creatures living in the post-holocaust world, and more.
Chronologically Experienced:
The mature gamer should immediately recognize this product. This is a chance to reacquire one of the perennial
favorites. This new edition of The Morrow Project is freshly updated with new time line, equipment and weapons. The
expanded and enhanced Morrow Project contains more back story and increased detail on setting and cultural groups.
New Enthusiast:
For the new gamer this a classic reborn. Giving them a chance to discover one of the best loved post apocalypticgames of all time.

Boy was I surprised to find out that '80s publisher Timeline is back! They've reprinted the third edition of the classic postholocaust RPG The Morrow Project, plus all of the old modules except Ruins of Chicago (which is in prepress). A fourth edition is in the works, and the plan is to publish about 2 modules per year. I was too overcome by nostalgia to ask about distribution.
Seeing all this stuff makes me sad I lost my Morrow stuff to moving frenzy back in 1989. Along with Call of Cthulhu, TMP is one of the most intense roleplaying environments possible, and all you youngsters who grew up after the Berlin Wall fell should check this out, if only to get an idea of how times have changed (both culturally and game-design-wise). Besides, any RPG where the GM starts out by nuking the crap out of the world has got to be an interesting experience... !!!
