Got something that should be in the Apoc Post?

It seems that these days we are only three steps from living Gamma World. Problem is that when the bombs drop, we aren't going to be sprouting any wings. However the idea of humans with wings is something not so far fetched anymore anyways. Before Gamma World, we get to live in Cyberpunk, remember.

Already we have robots to fight our wars. A recent article in the New York Times talks all about the uses of robots in the combat field ranging from spotting to killing. Laser light weapons are not a thing of the future, but rather a reality today. Taking animal husbandry to the next level all together, we have found both the human genome code and the secrets to cloning.

Without the benefit of DNA level manipulation, people have done some pretty crazy things with our animals already. Look at the freakish assortment of our 'best friend' the dog. Most of these breeds have been cultivated by human hands. Now natural selection and evolution has its hand in the dogs look, but we are the reason for many of the more exotic (and helpless) versions. Now that we can go beyond the mating level and REALLY get in the works of these beasts, imagine the results that some of the fanatics create. It will be interesting.

Beyond pets, think of what people will do to themselves. Think of some of the folks we have today when their options are only piercing and tattoos. Now add gene manipulation to the mix. We'll have a very different society 100 years from now.

So as the saying goes, truth can be stranger than fiction. For the time being we get to retreat to our own varieties of our own shattered future. Cheery? Remember it is post-apocalyptic game, not post-picnic. This issue has some real cool stuff in it that I think will let your world shine.

For example, check out Derek's Plant and Animals feature, it is a great resource for 'flavor' to your campaign and setting. Also, you will find piles of weapons and charts to help flesh out a quick game or to answer the question, "What can I buy in this town? or "What is there to do here?" Enjoy.
