heh, I was just thinking to myself "no-ones mentioned VtM or Ars Magica, which seems odd"

Fate Accelerated Gurps Pendragon Burning Wheel

I do think its important to distinguish between hard post-apocalypse (Mad Max*, Book of Eli) where scarcity and social breakdown are driving factors and soft post-apocalypse wherein settle society has returned (Planet of the Apes, Last of Us, Chrysalids). * Fury Road depicts something of a...

The Exalted Valley of the Mage is nestled within the Barrier Peaks and is the closest inhabited place to the Unoerthly Cave. Its is likely that mutated flora and fauna from the crash have encroached into the valley along with spoors on the wind, nanite infections and pollutants carried from the...
