This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Favorite Post Apocalypse game?

Another?

Another? I only have the one Totally-Not-Thundarr! RPG in the works, although it's in the back-burner.

I'm not working on it except to make a note if inspiration strikes. I'm vacillating between using OSE Race as Class or WBFMAG Race & Class. I do have 90+ monsters tho.

heh... Meant another Thundarr RPG. Under the Broken Moon came out many a year ago and theres at least one, likely two more out there. I do not think any were commercial though. Just fan works to parse the setting into an RPG.

There's one based on the Black Hack (warlords of something IIRC), under the moons of zoon IIRC is also Thundarr inspired.

I'm not aiming at 1:1 to the cartoon but to enable play in a pretty similar world.

It'll be different enough so I can sell it.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Deadlands: Hell On Earth released back in the late 90s under the classic Deadlands system.

It still remains my favorite Post Apocalyptic Setting for RPGs.

You have Walking Dead style Zombie Apocalpyse going on Back East, You have a Terminator Apocalpyse going on in Denver, you have Evil Mutant Cultists in Los Vegas, you have Road Warrior Stuff going on near Salt Lake City.

A Hell on Earth Deadlands party could have RoboCop, Judge Dredd, Paul Atredies, Daryl Dixon and Taarna in a Party together and it makes perfect sense.

It's less Gonzo than Rifts but just Gonzo enough almost every post apocalpytic concept and character idea works. Characters can be Psykers, Mutant Priests of Radiation, Tech Shamans, Toxic Shamans, Cyborgs, Templar Paladins, Old Soldiers, Feral Kids, Indian Tribesman, Road Warriors, Librarians who get powers from Books, Witches, and more.

All the while fighting Zombies, Terminators, Soda Junkies, Evil Mutants, Anti-Paladins, classic Monsters, Evil Dune Sandworms and the 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse.

It's legitimately an awesome game with never a lack of things to do.
1. Some of you culture warriors are so committed to the bit you'll throw out any nuance or common sense in fear it's 'giving in' to the other side.

2. I'm a married homeowner with a career and a child. I won life. You can't insult me.

3. I work in a Prison, your tough guy act is boring.
