Description:

AD 2008 � 46 years after the Cuban Missile Apocalypse. In the frozen
shadows of the ruins of mutually-assured destruction, the CCCP and the
United Nations took their pitched battle for ideological dominance from
the irradiated husk of the Earth to the boundless reaches of outer space.

The Second Cold War has begun, and it requires a new type of operative.

Trained to be able to blend in to any situation, to operate covert and
high-risk intelligence-gathering and insurgency, the UN and CCCP employ an
unknown number of these disavowed individuals as the front-line soldiers
in the Second Cold War.

These spies are called �comets.�

"Rogue Comet" is an open-ended role-playing game over the web.	The focus
is on "hard" science fiction, espionage, international intrigue, and
politics.

Players create a character who will be the focus of their stories and
plunk them down into the world of Rogue Comet - a world which expands and
redefines itself as each story is published.  In addition to writing
stories in concert with the moderators and other players, players may also
take part in our regular writing contests, with winners to be selected by
the moderator.

Rogue Comet is totally open-ended.  There are no dice systems, no stat
blocks, and no arbitration other than that provided by a moderator.  The
idea is to write awesome fiction and be clever.

Hope to hear from you!
