Post Nuclear RPG GM
New Member
Hello, before I explain this roleplay game let me tell you a bit about myself. I'm a very experienced Rper but I'm quite new to GMing, I got the idea from the old 4chan threads on /K where they would play with the Innawoods website and make characters then play a short roleplay wasteland survival game. I've been reading about them and they seem like a blast to setup and play, they are also not really complicated at all, anyone can do it!
Since I'm quite new to GMing I'd like some help from more experienced GMers, so when we're playing the game and you have a really cool idea for an event or big thing to happen in the game PM. But don't worry, as we speak I'm currently writing a script down for the game. Of course we aren't going to fully follow the scripts because what fun would that be? This is our adventure so what will happen is I'll write down an event and you must decide on how you want to act, and you'll need your fellow RPers on your group to agree with you if you don't want to piss them off. If a random wastelander Comes up to you what will you do? A: shoot him and loot him, B: ignore/sneak around him, C: ask him to trade with you. The options are endless. And of course you can do much more then that, and as I said I have a lot of cool events that will happen to keep it interesting, I also have a few pretty cool factions that you'll meet on your journey, some kind and helpful! Some not...
Now that I got all that junk out of the way I present you the game!
The year is 2066 and in the year 2011 a global nuclear war happened. The whole world is a post apocalyptic wasteland, and you are a survivor. In these treacherous wastes you will find hardships, pain, sadness, greif, death, sickness, and suffering. Or you may be lucky and potentially find friendship and maybe even love?
RULES:
1: no saying stuff like "I shoot the raider and kill him" you'll have to say "I attempt to shoot the raider" the. You roll a dice and see if you hit him! Depending in how the roll is I'll determine weather you kill, miss, or just injure the enemies.
2: be detailed! If you were to say something like "I walk into the building and search around." I'll assume you clumsily run in the building and search around making noise, and searching badly and bit finding anything of use. I will reward the more detailed writing!
3: no taking control or killing other players characters. Unless they give you permission that is.
4: and all other basic rules of any game that I'm forgetting right now!
Character Creation!
We are going to use https://innawoods.net now if you don't know what it is, it is basically an amazing character creator for post apocalyptic games! On the program there are sadly no female models to use so you'll just have to pretend it's a female if you want to play a female. For the gear that you use make sure it's realistic! No having a machine gun with tons if ammo, use melee or a pistol with 10-15 bullets. Also don't wear crazy armor! After all in the game you will find better weapons and armor later, so do not worry!
Now as I've said make the character, but keep it not OP and keep it realistic. Now remember wastelanders, remember to pack FOOD, WATER, and MEDICINE! You'll have to eat and drink everyday, and if you get cut by some bandit's rusty old knife, you damn well need antibiotics so it doesn't get infected and kill you!
Here is your character sheet!

THE WORLD: there are massive stretches of deserts where the nukes hit the hardest, but there are also small cities and camps built by survivors, and there are even some old cities that are crumbling and destroyed. Since this is in New York (the whole state not just the city) you'll be gong from the desert area around the city, to the main city where old destroyed sky scraper buildings potentially full of loot, bandits, and survivors still stand!
That's all for now, remember I'm no expert at this and am open to constructive criticism and help! PM if you have any questions, concerns, tips, or ideas!
