Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shades of Green" data-source="post: 3341276" data-attributes="member: 3297">Thanks for the kind words!My idea was to create a more "organic" PA setting rather than the typical desert-heavy ones (Mad Max, Wasteland, Fallout, Bad Blood etc); I like the desert-PA settings, but I've wanted a change - I want Mother Nature to be alive, wild, and biting. Strange forests and polluted marsh-forests creeping into abandoned cities; twisted plants growing amidst dormant, rusting machinery; wild animals nesting between Human bones. Humanity is dead (almost) - Nature moves on, as she always did. Ofcourse, Mother Nature still has to cope with the legacy of Humanity - unstable climate (due to global warming), widespread pollution, genetically-modified beasts, urban wastelands and unstable ecosystems (due to the extinction of many links in the food-chain in many places).Humanity still lives, but is a mere shadow of its past glory - only 150 millions living worldwide, 1.5% of the pre-Death 10 billions. The previous technological society is dead - not as much due to the widespread destruction of the technological items and means of production (which has occured on a relatively small scale by riots, small wars and environmental instability), but far more due to the death of the billions of Humans who make up the social infrastructure of such a society.Another reason for developing this idea is to have something different from the typical (usually radiation-induced) mutants as the opposition. Sure, there will be things similar to "mutants" in that setting, but these would be the offsprings of tailor-made gengineered organisms, not random results of an A-Bomb (most post-nuke PAs) and/or mutagen virii (System Shock and Fallout).I am still thinking about which game system to use. My current idea is to use <a href="http://www.fudgerpg.com/fudge.html" target="_blank">FUDGE</a> (which is OGL), but I might be convinced to use other SRD/OGL systems.</blockquote>
