That sounds post apocalyptic. Can you tell us more?

[BaronVonJ]

Sure. Not to hijack this thread, but Fistful of Lead: Wasteland Warriors will use the same turn mechanics and simple core rules you know and love, but or course bring in all the tropes of the post Apocalyptic world: futuristic weapons, crazy monsters, etc.
What will separate it from all the fine PA rules out there will be our take on it. It will be less Metro 2033, the Road, and Mad Max and more Gamma World, Thundarr the Barbarian and Kamandi.

@ BaronVonJ

Will rules for cars be covered as well?

[BaronVonJ]

Trying to fit within the ruleset right now, but probably as a supplement if space doesn't allow. We want to keep this more about the gangs and less about the vehicles. We'll have basic rules for them and then a larger "Road Warrior" style later.

Sounds like the rules I'm looking for.
Gang-focused with cars for support...nice
