Did anyone get a chance to play Broken Roads? If so, any thoughts?

I want to check it out, but I'm not really going to have much time for games over the next few months.

I'm mainly interested in the town of Merredin.

Cheers for any replies!

Should I make a second Sticky post for Indie content?

There's a whole lot of great Post-Apocalyptic content out there, but there's a pretty hefty divide between the mainstream PA and Indie PA. As much as I love the mainstream stuff, I'm an indie myself and I'd hate for any of us to get lost amid the swell of mainstream apocalypses.

Should I make a second sticky posts for indie post-apocalyptic novels, comics, games, etc?

Does anyone have any fan made poems or songs that could exist in the nuclear world?

I'm re-reading The Brief History of the Dead by Kevin Brockmeir. Short review #2 on this list. http://www.exitofhumanity.com/2010/10/apocalyptic-primer.html?m=0

When I was going back from school I saw this old construction street sign and thought it looks nice, I took the photo and I think it's perfect. I think it kind of fits into this subreddit and people here might like it

Title pretty much said it all. Below is a rough outline of my idea.

After a major disaster that kills off the majority of earth’s population, and with public health infrastructure gone, a cult worshiping the eradication of disease has formed and responds to epidemics of all types. Worshippers travel to sites of outbreaks to ensure quarantine procedures are maintained and contamination is cleaned up to prevent further infection.

After several worshippers are killed by unsympathetic civilians during an attempted cleanup/quarantine, the founder of the cult becomes increasingly paranoid, sending armed guards with worshippers to keep the peace. What was once a selfless group maintaining public health in an uncaring world slowly turns into a paramilitary organization which does not follow science, but follows emotion, eradicating any sign of disease at all costs.

After a guard refuses to fire on unarmed civilians that his crew boss perceives to be infected, an altercation ensues which leaves the supervisor dead and the guard on the run for his life. The paranoid leader of the cult vows to find and kill the rogue guard at all costs, and the guard himself is left alone, trying to survive as an anonymous fugitive in a chaotic world of rival factions vying for control of the remains of human society.

Has anyone watched it yet? I’ve seen great reviews but also a lot of long term fans saying it basically nullifies Fallout 1,2 and New Vegas.

Any comments?

A once thriving world now reduced to rubble, the remnants of civilization are teetering on the brink of annihilation. In this post apocalyptic world, humanity struggles to survive amidst the ruins of civilization. Jack Gates, a once skilled and resourceful soldier, finds himself embroiled in a dangerous journey that will test his limits and reshape his understanding of the true nature of power.

This is a very different way for me to ask this but I would like to know from everyone everywhere what their thoughts of how people would live within the Apocalypse, and the ideas can be from both Syfy genre to modern genre. By this I mean, most Americans get the idea that if the post-apocalypse happened, most of us would create towns to live in but a bigger majority would militarize, go raider, or become a somewhat Mad Max setting (I know here in my town that's probably a decent chance of car rigging). What about the rest of the world? Would you folks become more medieval and use swords and the like because of an aversion to guns? Would some go underground and become Metro or a type of Mole people? How would your town, country, or continent survive in the post apoc and what would they adopt too? This is something I'd like to know since I'm running a PostApoc RPG and would like to incorporate different ideas for the world rather than, "It's a Wasteland and it's kind of Mad Max".

Edit: I had to rewrite this post because late night writing doesn't make for a coherent or correct line of questioning. 😅 Sorry folks

What are some works that inspired you guys, like for example: games,movies/shows, literature, paintings or simply the aesthetic, i would love to hear.

Hoping this is the right sub for this. I read a book 10-12 years ago that fit into the genre perfectly, but I have completely forgotten the title/series.

Essentially there was a major apocalyptic event and it killed most people outside of this high school. However all of the students in the school managed to survive. During this apocalyptic time the students turn against each other and form cliques. Many of the lower cliques are forced to live near/in the “dump” area that the higher cliques use as a bathroom/ dump. Eventually they make contact with survivors outside of the school and there is a conflict between them as well.

I know this is relatively vague but I’m hoping it rings a bell with someone! It was a paperback that I read around 2012-2015. I believe it had a hazmat symbol on the front cover as well. Thanks!

I am obsessed with Post-Apocalyptic fiction, but I don't have many positive things to say about Prepper Fiction... it's a good way to make some money, but that's about it.
