BROWSE MY AFTERMATH ITEMS CURRENTLY IN STOCK




Aftermath!

EDITIONS: Aftermath was in print for quite a long time. I detail them over at my game blog: Aftermath RPG (1980-1): Phoenix & FGU Editions

-Wayne


"The sun hangs low on the horizon illuminating the ruins of civilization with a bloody light. Is it the sunset of the earth or the sunrise of a brave new world? You can decide as you boldly stride the rubble strewn streets of the AFTERMATH...

The Game is for 2 to 6 players and a referee in search of a different kind of adventure. It is a role-playing excursion into a post-holocaust world.
The Players create characters, designed by themselves, to face the challenges and dangers of life after things fall apart.
The Referee is provided with everything he needs to detail the world in which the players will adventure.
Aftermath! is not a game for the faint at heart. Ruined cities, dread diseases, despair and broken dreams are a part of the characters' daily lives. Still hope survives, for mankind still survives. Rise up, meet the challenge and overcome!

Aftermath! contains:
• Basic Rules book with multiple examples and illustrations of play.
• Players' Handbook detailing construction of characters, equipment and life after the Ruin.
• Referee's Handbook detailing construction of the environment and running the game.
• Introductory Scenario to allow you to start play easily.

Aftermath! provides a solid basic play mechanic that has been over 2 years in playtesting. Rules are provided for modern firearms, NBC weapons and protections, mutations, survival, high technology and more. The game is structured to allow the referee to decide the nature of the holocaust that destroyed the world in which play will occur. Aftermath! is a step forward in the art of role-playing games."

Aftermath (restickered Phoenix Games edition) with reprint paperback




Into the Ruins: The City of Littleton (Scenario Pack 1)

"This scenario pack is intended to provide a group of players with a starting place for a campaign using AFTERMATH! This scenario package consists of a map of Littleton, an average American city, updated to the current status of the city, and several detailed descriptions and maps of various areas in and around the city. Some areas are not detailed because they are left for the Gamemaster. He may flesh them out as he desires to fit the city into his campaign structure.

Each subsection of the scenario package is dealt with separately and a Gamemaster may utilize what he wishes from each. The diversity is intended to present a sampling of possible adventures in an AFTERMATH! World."

Operation Morpheus: The Ruins of the University (Scenario Pack A1)
"OPERATION MORPHEUS is designed as a campaign introduction to an AFTERMATH! world. Although originally part of a campaign set in Australia the information and ideas herein can easily be used with any campaign.

The setting is a major university in an important city. The time is approximately one hundred years after the collapse of civilization. The players take the parts of people who, having volunteered to take part in a 'short-term' experiment in cryogenic suspension, awaken many long years after the planned time. They find the world in ruins and have no idea of the cause of, reasons for or history of this disaster. Naked and unarmed they must face a strange new world. Cleverness and quick thinking are the first steps to survival.

OPERATION MORPHEUS is not a complete game but a background package for use with the AFTERMATH! game system. AFTERMATH! Is required for play."

Waste World


An interesting entry by Czech-based Manticore Productions and William "Bill" King of Warhammer novel fame.




Waste World
"In the dark future of a dying earth five warrior civilizations prepare for the final conflict. In each mighty megacity, technology is an ideology that shapes the destiny of millions. The enigmatic Machine Gods of Prometheus grant their followers the gift of bionics, and faith in total war. The ever-reincarnating samurai defend their Shogun with swords of light. The Lords of Hydra sculpt their followers into superhuman soldiers, using the terrifying power of biotechnology. The decadent nobles of Ikarus descend from their flying city in razor-winged battlesuits to prey on the lands below. The exiled aliens of Janus defend the world's last starport and pray that salvation will come from the stars.

"The people of this ravaged planet fight for Drakonium, the most precious substance in the universe, the ultimate energy source. They know that without it, their cities will fall, their civilization will collapse and the poisoned deserts will claim their homes. They know they can never falter, never retreat, never stop fighting. There can be no mercy. There can only be conflict. It is all they know, and all they will ever know.

"In the Waste World Roleplaying Game, you can enter this savage struggle for power and dominion. You can use the flexible design rules to create the charater you want to play. You can take on the role of a cyborg ninja, a potent psycher, or a fearsome alien. Using the super-fast and ultra-deadly combat system, you can fight mutant monsters and terrible robotic killing machines in a world gone completely mad. Waste World Roleplaying Game provides you with all the rules you need to get right into the action in this harsh and dangerous world."

In the last megacities, five warrior civilizations prepare for Doomsday. Strap on your weapons and get ready to take part in the ultimate conflict.

The Forceshield is a high-quality cardboard screen that will see you through these last days. Embedded in it are all the game tables that you'll need to guide you through the madness and mayhem, and give your players some chance of survival. Spare yourself the horror of thumbing through the rulebook at a desperate time in combat. Save vital seconds when you need to blow someone away and can't find the critical hit tables. Look cool and dangerous as you lurk behind this fine official accessory for the Waste World roleplaying game.

In the Campaign Pak included with the screen, you'll find all you need to kick off your adventures in the wild wastelands of Avernus.

There's a complete series of adventures for you to torment your players with. In no time at all you'll have them prospecting for Drakonium, running away from mutant monsters and blowing away bad guys.

Detailed encounter tables and weather charts let you throw all sorts of hazards at your player characters. New optional combat rules give you even more ways to cause havok and do harm. Advanced psionics rules let you create many fearsome new types of Psycher."
