[QUOTE="thefutilist, post: 9454687, member: 7044566"] To echo what others are saying, you could always switch up systems and in fact still use PbtA style systems if you wanted. So if you were doing it with Apocalypse World say. You'd still run the first session as is suggested in the book. Then afterwards you can go crazy with the world building.

You can crate what that power station is like, it's history, who the mutant leader is, some his henchmen, what weapons they have, the relationships between them, what they want.
