ATC Gaiden: It's a Wonderful Life
A BESM 2e game running in the ATC Universe -- Sandwich.net IRC, #atc

It's 2091, one year after the fateful events of ATC2. For the most part, humanity has got on with its collective life. People rebuilt. Earth and Mars returned to normal. And indeed, the heroes of that conflict with forces beyond humanity's ken move back into mundane lives, unrecognized for their great service to all life in the galaxy.

But nothing everything is happy and resolved. Time marches on, and like ripples from a thrown stone, events have been set into motion that may once again draw the most unlikely of saviors to the task of saving the world from destruction...

Beyond this site, these events are also chronicled at the ATC Encyclopedia.
