A little intro into what I had in mind: What can you expect out there in the waste? Well the old ones said it had happened near two lifetimes ago, great war machines roamed the world that was, fighting over the rich soil on which all manor of greenery grew... but them war machines got too big, their cannons blew up more and more 'till there was nothin' left to blow up. That's when they got desperate, tryin' to keep what little they had... so they dropped the bombs, but there were too many bombs... WAY too many bombs. Now I wasn't around back then, so I don't rightly know how them folks survived... hell from what the old ones tell, a great deal didn't... But some did, and them folks... well we're born of them few who survived. I'm tellin you like the old ones told me... the world ain't the same as it was no more. Those bombs did somethin' more than blow up... they tore a hole... right down to hell itself... and them devils were linin' up to get here! You've heard the tales... howls comin' from the wastes, travelers bein' torn apart by things that ain't from this world... Men and women with demonic powers breakin all manor of nature's laws... but that ain't the worst of it... man is still his own worst enemy... 'specially when he ain't got enough food, fuel and power... and them things we can never get enough of, so we got gangs choppin themselves up replacing parts with metal and gears and whatnot gettin' ready to take what you got, also we got them who got their hands on some old world war machines, and you do not wanna see what them things can do, but they are eager to show you! Anyways... I've been prattling on too long now... So what can you expect from the wastes? Hell... Hell, is what you can expect. The old ones say the world done seen doomsday, that the end has come and gone and we few who are still around... well we're just too stubborn to die, an echo of the dead and buried... so brother, once you're out there, whatever reason you got to keep breathin in that last gasp of air left in the world... you hold on to that shit, cuz once it's gone... it ain't ever comin' back. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This will be a sandbox post apocalyptic setting run in GURPS, with a little bit of everything thrown into the mix. There will be magic, there will be cybertech, there will be mutants with supernatural abilities and there will be creatures that make the toughest men shit themselves... so that's why you'll need every kind of weaponry from swords to rocket launchers to survive. Oh and there will likely be sex, violence, rape, torture, cannibalism and other such themes inappropriate for younger players, which can and probably will get graphic, that is not to say that these things will be the focus or even focused on in the game, but may very well occur given the setting... so I'm gonna ask that everyone be 18+ years of age.
