Privateer Press is taking the alien threat to the next level—and, no, that’s not Level 8.
From now until February 5th, 2016, players and readers can explore the world of LEVEL 7 through a special mission supplement to the LEVEL 7 [Omega Protocol] board game—and it’s free when players preorder LEVEL 7: The Judas Protocol, the new e-book by author Nathan E. Meyer, for $7.99 through Skull Island eXpeditions or DriveThruRPG. Both the game supplement and the novel take players and readers into a world where the only way to deal with deadly aliens is with deadly military force. It begins deep below the Arctic ice, in a sinister government laboratory known only as Subterra Foxtrot, where those aliens called the Ghin conduct hideous experiment on human victims. Locked in a one-sided bargain with the American government, trading technology for living subjects, one of the Ghin hides a devious secret from his handlers: betrayal and defection. Now, from the blackest depths of Special Operations comes a unit of ruthless killers, each man trained and outfitted to combat the alien menace….
Inspired by the upcoming novel (which is scheduled for release this March), the board game supplement LEVEL 7 [Omega Protocol]: The Judas Protocol provides players with a series of four new missions that take place prior to the events in the LEVEL 7 [Omega Protocol] board game. Using the components of the core board game, players assume the roles of Disco Team members as they battle through the Subterra Foxtrot facility where alien forces and their human allies have set in motion a scheme with dire global consequences.
Those missions then appear in Nathan E. Meyer’s new book, LEVEL 7: The Judas Protocol. When one of the aliens betrays his American handlers, the government initiates the Judas Protocol, a countermeasure intended to recover the defector and erase all evidence of the Ghin. A Special Ops unit known as Disco Team is sent to conceal the U.S. involvement, a mission that races against a doomsday clock as the treacherous alien moves to bring about human extinction. Passages from LEVEL 7: The Judas Protocol provide context for each of the missions in the new game supplement.
These new missions will give readers a chance to walk in Disco Team’s boots before following the team’s chronicles in the novel, or they’ll give players a chance to compare their own survival skills against those of Disco Team. Either way, the combination of board game supplement and new novel make this new LEVEL 7 experience one not to be missed.
When the novel is released in March, readers and players will be able to buy the book and the game supplement separately, but now’s the time to get them as a bundle for $7.99 and get the supplement for free.
