Rangers
A narrative game of desperate odds and heroic sacrifice
Rangers is a tabletop roleplaying game about heroism in the face of overwhelming odds and powerful enigmatic enemies. With our cities occupied by alien invaders, and invasive flora and fauna roaming wild across the land, a loose network of state and national park rangers has created refuges for those who have nowhere else to run. But even this safety only lasts so long. Eventually the enemy will come for your park, with relentless force, wearing down your defenses until you are left with only a few desperate options.
Players take on the roles of Rangers: skilled wilderness guides, medics, scouts, leaders, and historians, maintaining our former parks. Together you must face down an impending threat, defend those who look to you for safety, and find some way to save something when it all falls apart.
Heroism in Defeat
Much like a tower defense game, the enemy keeps coming in bigger and bigger waves. Eventually you can't sustain. But that's when the story gets interesting, because when you're desperate you can do anything.

My heart dropped, shock paralyzing me for a second before I remebered the radio in my hands
"Captain, there's... there's so many of them, I can't even see the road anymore"
There was silence on the other end for a few minutes before the old man came back over the line
"We'll setup a choke point just south of the entrance. Traps, a few barricades. Tess you hold the north hill for an ambush, but pull back if you start taking fire. We can slow them down, we can buy time"
Tess's voice came over the line. "Buy time for what captain?"
"A miracle Tess, a god damn miracle
