Just one little roleplaying game. Post-apocalypse, with all the bells and whistles with the ease of use that Clear Skies Over Milwaukee offers for customization. The catch? Welcome to a world with not only humans, but also fantasy races. Oh yeah, shit like Orcs, Goblins, Elves, Dwarves… They’re all here, but the magic isn’t. Everything is mostly built off of real science (Obviously you gotta give the dragonborne their fire and ice breath, though… Okay, and maybe some races that require like some weird blessing of mana to even exist, but that’s been a hard maybe to me). No mutants either since ATF just proved they can be a total cancer. (Ask about The Biomass Awakens event, it was dreadful to roleplay anywhere outside of the major towns)
Why make this? I like the intelligent species of fantasy genres, they offer some interesting interactions with the whole world and other characters, but I have never seen a single adaptation with them beyond a between the dark and medieval ages with magic setting. Also because I love post-apoc roleplay games, but After The Flash makes no sense and is generally cancerous with both the playerbase, weapons, and story efforts (Mirage has been a fucking hurricane). And Blastaway, although VERY enjoyable, sees very few players and some design and rules limitations (No custom guns unless they’re real ones of the same caliber, when your guns are very few and far between… Why?) that makes it a little hard to actually get into. One of Blastaway’s issues is that, although unlike ATF where you have to pay to get and roleplay some guns and a fuckton are LIMITED TIME LOOTBOX STYLE ONES just for a toy gun that does no damage- Wait, I’m getting off track. Either way, Blastaway’s weapons are somewhat limited, especially in its melee category.
If I could make a game, I’d fix that up. Plenty of guns, plenty of melee, no ridiculous restrictions, fantasy races, a good roleplay guide, readily accessible by an in-game handbook lore (Take notes if you make a RP game with lore, Blastaway did it right with both a RP guide AND mostly filled out lore handbook for a pre-play rundown), and also some good map design. I would also really try to push it so that it could be on level with, between Blastaway and ATF, or hell, maybe more popular than ATF in player counts.
Yeah, very ambitious, but that’s my love for roleplaying anything either post-apoc or modern you see there. I would totally love to bring quality to it, for free, if I could.
