| Nuclear desert punk. Fallout style. I just need a plot or, lacking that, a lot of lore. |

Do you have lore set up yet?

| No, but I figured if I just ripped off Mad Max and found another movie to blend it with, I'd be all set. |

It's a desert with a lot of raiders.
I suppose we'll need something more substantial than that, huh? Like a survival system? If we can get a survival system and a real nice setting, "desert with a lot of raiders" should be fine. |

From what I know, Mad Max was the world after oil reserves ran out. Yet somehow there is enough oil for everyone in the wasteland to drive around in big rigs and such.
I've actually never seen Mad Max. |

What if it's set in an earlier part of the apocalypse? So as you RP, the conditions get worse and worse... a gradual decay.
The RP starts when oil amounts drop substantially, destroying fundings of countries slowly, causing people to rebel. What if we start in the beginning of the rebellion, and work our way through the "apocalypse"?

The references I'd use for this RP aren't extremely popular, but here they are just in case someone can use them to get what I'm going for:
-A Boy And His Dog
-Mad Max 2
-Fallout
-Rage (kind of)
So basically, desert wasteland with lots of raiders. |

| WiFi, that's a pretty good idea. I think it would go as follows: It would get MUCH worse after the initial apocalypse making the desert even more deserted, then it would stay that way for a good while longer and then get either even worse or even better as the players decide to rebuild or just raid. |

Yup. Make it to the point where they turn on each other. It will be fun

Them starting alone would make it much more entertaining. Exceptions would be if a CS has one character already knowing another.
It could work even if it is simple, just as long as we get good RPers. I just don't know how to make it pretty.
We'd need to make it get to the point where everyone starts to just abandon their lives and their views in the world before the bombs and accept that they're living in a new one. |

| Okay. Just help make it look like something joinable and your character will get...Oh, I don't know...A novelty pocket knife? |

I'm notorious for word walls, so I can't help you with the actual writing.
Sorry.

Ermergerd, yay.
Like Wifi said, as they realize the world is decaying, should we also have it so that most weapons and/or food they find near the beginning are more or less pristine, but as time grows on, food would have to be grown, weapons would have to be kept at a certain condition, or maybe even built? |

It'll take place across an average life time, until the very last one dies of either natural causes or other means.
If nobody rebuilds, then you can kiss guns goodbye when all the ammo runs out and food will get increasingly hard to scavenge.
If people do rebuild, then guns and ammo can be manufactured, settlements built around farms, and the players would essentially become mercenaries. |

But when oil becomes harder to find, people will have to rely on raiding, destroying potential truces and ruining alliances.

Oh, alright then.
So what will be the main source of power?

Well, the main power of source could perhaps be radioactivity in some sort of specific object, like a bottle cap or car battery, maybe just a bent can.

We need to rip off Fallout but find a different name for Microfusion Cells so nobody complains about us ripping off Fallout.
Something that can be recharged but also destroyed, and the ability to manufacture them won't come until a LOT of experimentation. |
