The fourth edition will also have rules that allow GMs to set their campaigns specifically in Sweden, or in any other country in the world. Yet, in another twist, players in this new version can play as soldiers and civilians. Twilight: 2000 is set in Poland after World War III, as was the original game.

However, the new Twilight: 2000 will give the alternate timeline a different twist than the original. Twilight: 2000 will return players to the alternate universe year 2000, just as the original Twilight: 2000 RPG published by Game Designers’ Workshop in 1984 did. The pre-launch Kickstarter page is live now, with the campaign scheduled to begin on August 12 at 3 p.m. Free League Publishing, Amargosa Press, and Game Designers’ Workshop have formed up to create and publish the fourth edition of the classic post-World War III apocalyptic Twilight: 2000 tabletop roleplaying game.
