Just out of curiosity, how much "old world" technology is still a thing? There seems to be power, vehicles, guns, etc. (probably no internet and not much petrol though) so I was wondering how much people generally had to work with while I poke at this sheet.

I'd assume that most electronics like TVs, DVDs and consoles ect would've been made mostly redundant due to the fact that you need electricity to run them, though at the same time I'd assume there'd be a few places that could afford luxuries such as this. Portable game consoles like the gameboy ect which run on batteries will still be used by those who can get their hands on them and I'd assume any portable tools which can run on similar power sources would be used extensively. Use your common sense and imagination, really - I'd guess that it might be a little like Charleston out of Falling Skies without the alien tech or Alexandria/Woodbury from The Walking Dead.

I'd guess anyone who can reliably get fuel for them would be able to use generators for electrical stuff, too. Cool, I was just trying to get a good idea of what people are working with since it's not like all of humanity's been knocked back to the Paleolithic by the looks of things.

The havens we've visited have largely been fortunate and had time to establish themselves. It's sort of the blessing of a haven, these luxuries, and the potential to create wind-farms or gather solar energy using naturally heating water and the like. These places also have governance that may restrict or commodify such resources too, though. You start getting into the curses of havens in this area and, of course, there's more too that may make the living situation less enticing.

Out of havens, power is probably way less likely in force. Groups like the 1007th and Legion probably have solutions for this, likely using alternates like oil collected from animals or otherwise. A big thing to consider is that this is a world where all the past discoveries were at peoples' fingertips just 5 years ago. You might not remember the exact recipe for something you got off google, but you probably remember enough to give you a quick head start. Plus, you know it exists, unlike the original creators who were likely dabbling and hoping.

Cool, I can work off that. When I get a chance to get the drafts together I'll send them like I said.

Slap'em ahead into the Google Docs if you like. Everyone's very kind and, honestly, it's a bit easier to point out anything out if necessary. Um, also maybe post a little something in here to give us the heads up it's there, you know, just in case ;).

I like to believe it's quiet here because I've been busy and you're all directionless without me. So, now that I'm back, you can all come back.

Me, Shon and Fallenreaper are working on a collab ATM, so we'll probably have that up soon enough.

I'm just waiting on a good chance to pop in Remmy in but once he realize Simon knows Coltrane then likely he'll take a backseat.

That just leaves Prom and Firecracker unaccounted for, although I've come to accept Firecracker as our friendly ghost who lives in the attic and only comes out when he has a good punchline.

If neither of you post here soon, I will send you a PM. And I cannot promise that there won't be a few unkind words in there.

Also, Zombie, bit of the next collab in there for you.

@Zombie & Fallen: I added a bit to the Doc and directed the convo. Also, I'm never opposed to a bar fight. Mm... bar fights.

I will look at it after I finish up a few things....but I have a feeling I will be saying something like this: You dirty rotten GM... :p

Hello, friends (not Aweena)! It's me, your lovable adrenaline junky FF, back from waging fake-war. You'll be happy to know I didn't fake-die even once, though i did find myself in a situation that was eerily similar to that helicopter scene at the end of Red Dawn, and that I fake-killed a metric butt-ton of people.

I'm currently riding on a bus back home and I'm gonna take the 14 some hours or will take to get there to catch up on all the happenings. So ahhh... yeah, what's up? What'd I miss? What's the hot gossip?

Alright the

Yup. Finished up a month long army training thingy and don't have anything in the foreseeable future that would cause me to not be able to post. I'm working on a post right now that will time skip me to about where you guys are at.

So... OOC is suppppppperrrrrr quiet! How is everyone? Doest anyone here get a Spring Break?
