It takes concepts from [B][I]Powered By The Apocalypse[/I][/B] and [B][I]Forged in the Dark[/I][/B], but puts its own twist on them. Inspired by [B][I]Turbo Kid, Tank Girl,[/I][/B] and the [B][I]Danger Days[/I][/B] album from [B]My Chemical Romance[/B], this RPG is about the end of the world and rocking out against the tyrants that sit on top of the new world order. What’s fun about this are the stickers. As you succeed with certain skills, you gain stickers showing your progression and abilities. From Michael Addison and Banana Chan, this looks like an engaging new take on the wasteland battlefield.
