For those who like postapocalyptic stuff, this site is pretty inspiring.

Very cool.  Thanks for the link!

Makes me want to dust off the notebook from my closet containing notes toward a(nother) campaign I'll probably never run, using Aftermath.
For fuck\'s sake, these are games, people.

And no one gives a fuck about your ignore list.

Man, I dig that up close and personal vibe that only face to face gaming provides. Besides without my impersonations of famous actors, I'll be short changing the players :D

Okay, I can't resist :D  

The Pilgrimage* - A postapocalyptic campaign of Survival & Hope

The Setting - War both religious and political has blighted the Middle East. This time for real. And then Allah weighed in. There is only one city left. Mecca...Paradise compared to what is out here.

The pcs are either exiled or leave on their own free will. Something greater is out there. Greater than the religious hysteria that grips the city. Greater than the petty hakims that practice banal evil on a very docile population,every single day.

Out there, you need to scavenge for weapons. Black gold, to power your transport. Battle with the savage warlords and the flotsam and jetsom that prefers barbarity to submission.

And always, there is the call of the Madhi. Who is he? What does his coming foretell? Doom or Salvation?

*or Fuck You Dominus Nox :D

A couple of gamer friends from the UK are down for the next two months and have joined my regular crew - so I'm running a series of adventures inspired by these photos called Burning Honour...think The Road Warrior meets The Seven Samurai.

That's really great material.  Thank you for the link!

Maybe not quite as geared towards fiction and RPGs, but still useful is the Modern Ruins Project photo essay.

David, a movie you absolutely must see right now is the Russian film Dikij Vostok, aka The Wild East.  It's a postapoc Seven Samurai adaptation shot in the midst of the fall of the USSR.  There are midgets, Nazis, motorbikes, a Kung Fu master and a magic sword.

You'll have to do a little digging to find it; I got my raw bootleg from a company that specializes in getting Russian TV dramas to expats (on my tape, after the credits roll, there is the finale of a Soviet ice-dancing drama.)

If any of you folks are visiting my country (or I'm visiting yours) I'd run a game...anytime.

Fonkaygarry: The movie sounds very cool, but the mood in this game is a little darker*. But I have to see this movie only because I now want to set my next Feng Shui campaign in Russia...I've already done Afrika.

*The set up is like this. The unnamed country in this post ecopocalypse setting is divided into various districts, each governed by a single strongman (woman). Carrying out the law for this ruler is a group of elite marshals called RoadWardens. They travel around the district settling disputes and maintaining law & order...think of the cops form the Hall of justice in Mad Max 1. They live a monastic lifestyle and follow a strict code of conduct -Honour.

Part of the backstory is that the combat/investigative skills of these Wardens are based on the tactics used by Navy Seals, the Mossad and various other elite units. When the world went apeshit, these skills over time ...like arcane lore...were passed down from master to apprentice until groups of individuals congregated under various Prophets and the districts were formed and The Wardens become the law of the road.

The campaign begins with the dissapearence of the pcs "strongman". The RoadWardens have to decide if they want to continue being marshals - enforcing the law, helping folks out in their current district or leave and join another retinue in another distirct.

For the car battle episodes I'm using Car Wars, but for everything else...I still have not decided. I've got a week to come up with something :D

David R
