Looking for a system: Post apocalyptic low power fantasy

[Dioltach]

Or there's D20 Modern, including the Apocalypse rulebook. I always enjoyed playing the system in a variety of settings: near future, time travel, low magic contemporary.

You could do Trail of Cthulhu (Pelgrane Press), using the Pulp Rules option.

After reading a few reviews of this I ordered a copy. While it might be too investigative for my initial plan I may like that enough to keep it, too. Otherwise this seems to offer a lot of what I needed, and the stability rules take care of my issue with sanity (too easy to lose it)

Thanks!

I just saw yesterday that Hero Game has published Post-Apocalyptic Hero. Even if the game system isn't your style, the source book would be a great reference for building a campaign. The PDF is on sale for $14 at herogames.com.

It's a superb book. If you want to get a feel for how the GUMSHOE rules work, 5 minutes of reading here shows them in use in a Night's Black Agents (super-spy) game. Note quite the same, but pretty close.

Ive skimmed page 1 on this...havent hit pages 2 and 3 yet.

However, Ive been a fan and proponent of Hero System for ever...and with the "Champions Complete" available now for a REALLY good price (plus, if you buy at your FLGS, you can get the PDF for free if they participate in the Bits and Mortar deal). It requires DM work to set the world up, as Hero is a toolbox, but I recently introduced a friend to Hero and he was amazed at the flexibility, and really took to the combat system.

It can do every genre and every power level. 6th edition is really well written, engaging, in depth, and yea...a ton of fun.
