Sundays @ Noon eastern, starting January 17th. Savage Worlds RPG system. Creating a new group, will need 3-4 people. PM with Skype details. Welcome.....to the future. The world of the Ancients has crumbled, and the world is a lethal desert, devoid of anything other than degenerate mutant freaks, savage beasts and death. Beyond the secure domes controlled by the New Order, no one knows how long it has been since the fall of the Ancients – it could have been a hundred years ago or a thousand. Although mankind’s weapons didn’t finish the job of exterminating the race directly, their lingering effects essentially did. The ruined world, unable to support mankind any longer, lets the race dwindle like a withered grape on a parched vine to the new norm. The world is no longer man’s domain. Those men and women who failed to reach the domes and fallout shelters are now long gone, their children having mutated over the generations, creating the various wild mutant races that now roam the earth. The party will start in the seedy merchantile town of Tucumcari. The trade town of Tucumcari (more commonly known by its wasteland name of “Trade City”) has been a nexus of commerce in the wasteland for generations. One community or another has inhabited the site since a few decades after the Fall, dwelling far from the burned-out ruins of the actual city atop the nearby mountain – Tucumcari Mountain – where it is easy to defend against the predators of the desert. Though many of these communities came to rise and fall since its earliest history, the arrival of traders in recent times brought the town newfound prosperity – and security – that has guaranteed its existence ever since. A few years ago the Clean and Cartel took over the small-time operation of the local traders in a threeway struggle that left one side defeated (the locals) and the other two reeling – and poised on the edge of an all-out faction war. With a remarkable stroke of cunning, however, the Clean managed to avoid war by compromising over control of the town. By sharing Tucumcari with the Cartel they not only avoided a costly conflict, but also cemented an alliance that has remained stable (if somewhat lacking in trust) for longer than most faction friendships. And, most importantly, it has established Tucumcari as a secure place for trade in an otherwise hostile land, a fact that has made both factions rich over the past few years
