looking to join or start a post apocalyptic continuous game with lots of dms

I'm trying to get into some post apocalyptic rp. Sweet loot, raider factions, etc. but I don't know where to start.
Frequency, days of the week, times, time zone. System?  More crunch: All Flesh Must Be Eaten. GURPS Fantasy Flight End of the World Less crunch, more storytelling: Apocalypse World.   Blades in the Dark (look for a hack, admittedly this one requires a bit of work)
Does apocalypse world have loot tables for specific types of looting? Rerednaw said: Frequency, days of the week, times, time zone. System?  More crunch: All Flesh Must Be Eaten.

Less crunchy systems by their nature do not usually have many pre-written tables.  Instead the focus becomes more what is the goal / motivation for the character and as a collaborative group work such rewards into the party.  If what is desired is “kill, loot, repeat” then narrative systems generally do not work.   If anything many material rewards may be abstracted.  For example you don’t find 10000 gold pieces...your party instead becomes “flush with cash”. Many of the systems have free quick starts or system reference documents for free.  Or you could ask to join a group and see if it to your taste.
Is there any pro tools I can use to add features such as loot tables, etc?

I mean, anyone can sit down with a pen and a piece of paper and make up a list of "20 things you'll find in an abandoned Walmart." It's not terribly difficult. Atomic Highway and at least one edition of Gamma World (the Alternity version) have some loot charts, but they don't go on for pages and pages or anything. Red Markets might; I have a copy of the core rules, but I haven't had a chance to read them. Rerednaw is right; if you're looking for murder and loot at the expense of plot, something like Fallout Wasteland Warfare might be more your speed.
My friend, I recommend Dark Sun. Currently I am starting campaign there so if you are interested, you may join. I can also help you with basics etc. Im veteran, over 20 years in RPG, so if you need, feel free to pm me.
