[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 9764075, member: 5038"] While I mentioned Apocalypse in an earlier post, for a pre-built setting with a Gamma World vibe, I would go with Darwin's World Nuclear Edition. It provides locations, factions, and plenty of adventure hooks. Drop a lot of the Twisted Earth stuff and you could probably due a successful Mad Max/Road Warrior as well. Mutant Year Zero also has a good reputation for a Gamma World or Twisted Earth setting if you use the Four books The other two recommendations that I would make for the forementioned types of Post Apocalypse, are Atomic Highway (for a non-Savage Worlds system) and Apocalypse are out. However, neither has a complete setting with maps, pre-established factions and locations, adventure hooks, etc. Both require some setting building despite giving the tools and, if I recall correctly, Atomic Highway requires the Irradiated Freaks supplement for a more Gamma World/Twisted Earth vibe. Other Post Apocalypse genres My choice for a zombie apocalypse would be War of the Dead/World of the Dead for Savage World. The Walking Dead would be a second option based on Free League's reputation. Military post nuclear: I have heard good things about Twilight 2000 (Free League version) For biblical post apocalypse, I might use Armageddon: End of Times from Eden Studios since the work is done which takes place in the now (probably, adapting it to Eden's other system Cinematic Unisystem). As for other types of post apocalypse such as the TV shows Jericho, Jeremiah, alien invasion (e.g. Fallen Skies), vampire Apocalypse, and biblical post apocalypse (if I did not use Armageddon), I would go with Apocalypse or Cortex Plus and do the world building.
