[d20 Future] Wasteland Occupations

[Hiero Desteen]

I just got the d20 Future book and it has really sparked a renewed interest in running a postapocalyptic style game. I was thoroughly disappointed in the d20 Gamma World rules. So I am starting to work on rules for a Fallout/Gamma World/Wastelands type game. I would really appreciate some help/feedback on this.

First, I need to come up with a set of Occupations that would fit with the setting. Rural, Scavenger and Drifter look like good fits. But I would like at least a dozen or so. Any suggestions.

Don't worry about it...*everyone* hated that dreadful d20 Gamma World. Sword & Sorcery should hang its head in shame for ever allowing that poorly edited, ugly grey-and-black, mechanically clunky mess to be released.

Just as a suggestion...
Check out Darwin's World 2.

LOL! Yep. I sold mine at Half-Price Books about 2 weeks after I got it.

I would use some of the occupations from the D20 Modern corebook but just change what they mean slightly. For example, use the "Military" occupation but use it to describe a "tribal warrior" dude. Use the "Physician" occupation but make the guy a primitive surgeon--the type who uses whisky and a hacksaw.
