Greetings Wastelanders! Welcome to Post-Apocalypse General. All Post Apocalyptic RPGs are welcome but I have intentionally excluded Zombie RPGs (those exclusively featuring zombies) for the time being, as they are so numerous and would quickly crowd out all other Post Apoc games.
So grab your stop sign shield with your 3rd arm, load your laser with your last battery and grab your sword. It's gonna get gonzo in here!

So I played Let It Die the other day, it's basically this post-apocalyptic splatterpunk game where the objective is to climb the tower.
I kind of want to run something similar to it, this weird biomechanical post-apocalyptic dungeon crawl with a distinct goal in mind, reach the end alive.
How could I do this?

I hadn't heard of the vidya "Let it Die" butI watched the trailer. Pick one of the many RPGs above and run it? Maybe use dungeon tiles or a battlemat since it is combat oriented. I make my own tokens/pogs with a 1" die cutter from a hobby store and resize photos to punch out and glue them to fender washers.

In the spirit of Gary Gygax's Appendix N, list of inspiration, here's a few Post Apoc sources (Books, games, movies, tv, vidya) for inspiration: gammaworldwar.blogspot.com/p/appendix-g.html

>What the hell is Neuroshima? It's a post-apocalyptic setting taking place in 2050's USA Everything up until 2020 went exactly as IRL in 2020 an AI decided its fed up with humanity and launched ABC strike on the Entire States
Damn, can't find it anywhere, and the pricepoint for it is frankly too high for the amount of actual content there is, it's jacked up because of the art really.
Henry Turner
Its like $7 USD for 34 pages.
Mason Anderson
That's too high for Europoors.
Daniel Morris
7 US Dollars = 6.72 Euros. About the cost of a McDonalds Big Mac, fries and a drink.

Thanks I'll be sure to add it next thread. :-)

>Morrow Project God, that was an autistic engineer's simulation of post-atomic hell, wasn't it?
>After the Bomb (Megaversal system) Technically it was a Palladium game, so the rules are similar, but it predates the term Megaversal and isn't 100% compatible.
One of my favorite systems.
Nathaniel King
my first RPG experiences were using TMNT/After The Bomb. still have the books but haven't played in many years.
Jonathan Hill
Thanks bud. Still some of the best lore and art I've seen and read in an RPG book.

Years ago I found a great post-nuke novel called After The Zap, by michael armstrong. It was awesome, in that 1980s sci fi sort of way.
highly recommended.
Levi Torres
Hell yeah! This is exactly the kind of thing I love learning about in these threads. Maybe even more then new (to me) games.

Hello, hello! This is radio free wasteland, comin' at ya with the local weather. Rad storms 'll be rollin' up from Boston, and other 'n that, it seems clear skies, here in Maine. And now back ta' some music.
I want to run a post-apocalyptic game and im thinking of mostly using Mutant Future, but I want the default tech level to be more advanced than it is in that game. Is there another post-apoc game that's also OSR compatible that has a higher tech level for it?

Add Darwin's World for a more serious D20 post apoc game and Omega World for a D20 gonzo Gamma World tribute.
