Alpha Outpost Blues

Alpha Outpost Blues is a forum role playing game hosted on the Rooster Teeth family of websites. It is based loosely around the events of Halo canon and takes influence from Rooster Teeth's "Red vs Blue" machinma.

The origional game was posted in the summer of 2008 by Roland "Dustbunny" as a place to train the RT roleplaying communite the basics of the gaming format, but it quickly took on a life of its own.

The tradition of simi-annual instalments to the serries began with an expiriment conducted by former RT Forum Games moderator Fahjad. The experiment involved the taking of big, long-running games and restarting them. The members of the game could then continue where they had left off. The idea behind the experiment was that people would be more inclined to join a fresh and smaller game than a huge cluster of one, and it proved to be a success despite the inital controversy.

AOB is now the second longest running game on the Rooster Teeth forums, seconded only to the Space Battles saga.
