As I believe even the reviewer said, the background of the world is largely academic to the game. The important bit is that the world's FUBAR, fuel/ammo/food/everything is short, trouble is plentiful, and it's a dangerous place; the wherefores and whys and how-did-we-get-to-this-poitn don't matter to the rules, at all. I mean, I wasn't enamored of their future history, either; but it wasn't Epic Fail that makes the game Epic Fail. I'd probably just use the original T2K setting, or make up my own (and it would likely boil down to, "the world's gone to hell, nobody's quite sure why, and it doesn't really matter, because someone is trying to eat your face. Roll for initiative").The thing that matters to me is if I can use the rules. I'm not sure about that; they seem a bit fiddly for my current tastes & the tastes of my group (the Stage III rules definitely are too much for me!).</blockquote>
