The game is set in a fictional world - an apocalyptic analogue of the Soviet Union in the 1990s. … Continue reading A War of a Madman’s Making – Announcement
“You Owe Me for This”
As always, he had that everlasting grin on his face. It was a sick façade that showed nothing and hid everything. He would pass it on to his son just as his father had given to him. Only elements time cannot wear were made before that smile.
Chain Reaction: Martial Arts

Today's story centers around a 20-year-old Star Marine named Chester Chase.
