Title: Post-Apocalyptic Game Questionnaire
Post by SombreNote Formally The DM on Nov 28^th, 2009 at 3:28am

I am building a campaign world from scratch, and I wanted to hear some of the opinions from my homies of New Orleans.

It would be great of you guys to fill out the survey so I have an idea of what people like and don't like.

Thanks,
Reino

It would be interesting to see the results, when it is all compiled.

Well I have not had a very good responses, and dav feels the need to lie. haha

I have about 8 people. I am trying to get it to about 30 or so. It IS rather interesting data. I think i might be able to download it, and send it to people, but i need more results from roleplayers. I would put it on wizards forum, but they will just delete it.

Done.

I'll throw in an additional two cents. I played in a post-apocalypse games using GURPS 4 rules. It worked very well. It was based on Fallout, and I think specifically Brotherhood of Steel. I'm not sure of the BoS, because I do not play many video games, but I'm definite about it being based on Fallout, cause the GM said so. ;)

I love fallout. I used to play the original games. I think that is what got me hooked on the post apoc genre.

Fallout is a great series of games. I would love to see some (well written) novels based on that setting as well.

If your game goes the way of GURPS Fallout let me know. I have a fan written sourcebook (PDF) for Fallout for GURPS 4th. A quick read and browse through gave the history, equipment, organizations, cities/locations, etc. All and all a very good sourcebook for Fallout. Better, I think than 'The Fallout Bible'.

Grabbed a copy of it before it got yanked for copyright infringement.

Here is a list of novels I just came across. I just downloaded nearly all of them from Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

. So I will get to reading them sooner or later. I do not know if they are good or not.

This is a interesting database of information as to apocalypse stuff. I think it is funny how the author sorts things.

HEY, I would totally like a copy of that. Is it small enough to email?

The Sourcebook is 6.8mb and I also have an adventure from the same guy that is 1.3mb. PM me your e-mail and I'll see if I can get them to you.

This is a few of the results from the survey. I was only about to get 17 people to fill it out, but it is not a bad number.

You now have 1 more set of test results (these from a person who actively plans for the real-world apocalypse and keeps his bug-out bag nearby at all times) ;)

When did you take it?

Post by Dr. Nemesis on Jan 25^th, 2010 at 5:02pm

A few minutes before my post, if I recall.

Interesting selections. It is funny how you favor right before the Apoc, and after it is over, but not during. Most people don't pick it that way.

I ran a game of D20 Modern: Urban Arcana a while back, and the premise was that the heroes were battling a conspiracy headed by the last chromatic dragons in the world (posing as the board of a multinational corporation). The idea was that the game would eventually lead to an apocalypse that the heroes mitigated but didn't prevent. The bad guys failed to destroy the world due to the heroes' sacrifice, but the world was kinda ruined.

Then, the next run of the game was supposed to take place with the next generation trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland (sort of a Shattered-Lands-esque setting). It never happened, though, because the players lost a lot of enthusiasm after the big plot they started ended the way it did. I think it left a bad taste in everyone's mouths.

So, maybe it's just a logistical preference. Or something else. I've definitely enjoyed zombie apocalypse games that follow from the beginning right through to the end of civilization, but I suppose I like the quieter, more personal plotlines that come when the action isn't world-shattering. Now that you point it out, I'm not sure I can put a finger on exactly why I feel that way.

Meh, anyhow, a good enough GM with a good enough plot and good enough players can make any storyline a lot of fun to play. Except maybe Rifts--I can't stand that game ;)
