[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8126330, member: 4534"] I'm going to make another pitch for radio. Rather than having to carry bulky equipment, the heroes can make their way to one of the many AM stations scattered throughout the United States. Even if the power grid is down, a transmitter can be powered with a generator fueled by gasoline, natural gas, or kerosene and has a range of approximately 100 miles. This has the added advantage of giving you an excuse to have one of these heroes encounter the PCs while en route to an AM station. Maybe they offer the PCs ammunition or supplies to escort them to KRLD 1080 News Radio in Dallas, Texas. What if the printed word makes a comeback? Someone figures out how to work an old printing press, starts churning out pamphlets, and sends runners out to drop those pamphlets off with groups. Rather than just having one method of disseminating information perhaps they take a multi-prong approach? Back in the Arpanet days, the nascent internet was designed to continue to be useful even after a nuclear war situation. So maybe you still have some folks on the internet, others on the radio, and still others taking distributing pamphlets like para-apocalyptic proselytizers at a sketchy bus depot at 2 a.m. [/QUOTE]
