Millennium's End is a table-top [RPG] written by Charles Ryan (who later went on to work on The Wheel of Time and D20 Modern) and published by Chameleon Eclectic Entertainment in 1991.

The default setting is the real world in the year 1999, however an alternate time line in which the world is a much more dangerous place is used. The players create characters who work for multi-national private security company called Blackeagle/Blackeagle. The characters, referred to as Operatives, operate in teams, referred to as Cells, and take part in various missions for clients of the company. Missions vary from investigations, security, and search and rescue, to full on para-military operations.

In 1993 Millennium's End received an update with the release of Version 2, and an expansive weapons resource; Ultramodern Firearms (a title re-used by Ryan again in 2002 for the D20 Modern line).

Millennium's End uses a simple skill-based system based on percentile rolls that is able to deliver extreme realism while still being streamlined enough to keep gameplay fast paced and exciting. A unique system of clear plastic overlays and a variety of paper silhouettes allows for combat actions to be resolved with a single dice roll which not only indicates if an attack hit, but where the attack hit (or where a miss went).
