Storm Rebel RPG

  So with all the buzz of Half-Life 3 lately, plus me seeking some sort of RPG to do for a Solo game (I love playing Solo Traveller, and may detail a campaign of that here at some point), I decided I wanted to do another game that is easy to run Solo, Twilight 2000, but in the Half-Life universe.  Specifically I'm aiming for something set in the era of Half-Life 2.
