One of my absolute favorite game universes of all time is Fallout, and I've been hooked into post apocalyptic roleplaying for ten years. With other entertainment sources such as Mad Max films, the show Jericho, and even a hefty slice of the zombie survivalism craze, I have been thinking very seriously of doing a good post-apocalypse RP. I think this would be a fairly awesome and brutal sort of engagement, and a lot more accessible than my previous 2107 idea.

The premise:

We use the hypothetical SwFans convention as an excuse to gather all interested RP parties into the same location, only to pull the rug out from under them and nearly destroy the entire world that they know. We're talking complete war. Nuclear? Yes. Biological? Yes. Chemical? Yes. Enemies foreign and domestic? Absolutely!

What's different:

If you want to participate, the idea is to roleplay as yourself. Remember, it's a SwFans meet, so we are representing our respective selves in this horrific hypothetical.

Also, we are thus very acutely aware of our own capabilities and shortfalls. I myself am a crack shot, but I don't run very fast and don't have good endurance. Somebody might have an allergy that presents a problem. Somebody might know first aid.

What this begs us to do is to adapt, and to do things we may not want to do. Do we need to steal from a family home in order to have enough food to eat? Barring that, do we turn to cannibalism if we're just down on luck? Hardship may turn us as friends into enemies. I don't imagine us starting as villains, but some may end up being so. Of course, that's in addition to the other bandits, invaders, nuclear/biological zombies we might find.

Anyway, this is just a general interest thread, and I am trying to see what the soup tastes like, and if it needs anything added before serving
