[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9139974, member: 6779310"] My personal preferences for PA are either "It's been the last three years" -- specifically, T2K 2E or 4E -- or it's way in the past, and the game is just fantasy with high tech bits strewn about, such as Pugmire. Yeah, Pugmire's the remnants of a blown up world.... Technically, Judge Dredd is also PA, but not the kind most think of. My favorite settings for PA are T2K and Pugmire. My favorite mechanics are for T2K 4e, with T2K 2.0 (NOT 2.2). I did like running Dragonlance Fifth Age - which is a very much post-apocalypse for the setting... The gods withdraw, save for one, Tasselhoff, and he's just watching... and the Dragon-Gods... especially when you have "afflicted kender" - no longer cheerful, they came to know fear, and don't like it. And want to end the sources of it.... at any cost. I liked the Dark Sun setting, but it only delayed my departure from AD&D by a few months. Most of my friends ported it to GURPS. I didn't care for Aftermath as a set of mechanics. Nor Morrow Project. Like both concepts, tho'. I don't have much desire for the silly mutant fantasy like Gamma World, Radz, or Gamma Trollworld.
