They provided a really good source of adversaries and allies. Funny what you remember.I think a key question would be; what was the nature of the Fall. Was it a sudden apocalyptic event - like a large scale nuclear or biological exchange? Or was it a slower gradual disintegration of society as we know it - increasing conflict between national, religious and corporate groups, a gradual attrition of the infrastructure and rule of law required for 'modern' society to survive.I tend to be partial to the latter; an inextricable march towards destruction everyone could see coming. Resulting in something more like a Firefly'esque setting than a Terminator one, I would think. Another key question would be how long after 'the fall' is the game set? Would the characters remember life in the days of mobile phones, traffic jams and big screen TV's? The further down the track, the more things would have settled into some sort of order. I like the idea (stealing from Dune here) of guilds or associations that horde technology and knowledge, and do their best to prevent others from acquiring it. The Makers who build things. The Shapers retain genetic engineering skills. Something like that.Anyways, enough random ramblings from me.dogheadaka thotd</blockquote>
