THE MAP

As you gather to play, in the centre of a piece of paper, draw a small circle. Mark this as the Home Ruins. Now draw a short line up the page from the circle, heading North, and draw another similar circle. Roll a d3 to determine the Location from the Location Table, and roll d6 to determine the journey Terrain and a d3 for how many days travel it takes to reach that location.

Roll a d3 for the number of extra routes from that location, marking them as spokes from the circle. At each stage describe what you imagine at this place. The GM can undertake this role alone, or the group can take turns, adding a rumour that their character has heard about the place. These rumours may turn out to be true.

Repeat this process for a path East, a path South and a path West from the Home Ruins. Then draw a circular path linking each of the outer Locations, rolling for journey time for each segment. You have created your starting map, at Week scale.

WHAT WE KNOW

THE BEFORE
* The Before times are barely believed by many, whispers and bedtime stories.
* Punks have seen glimmers of the old life; a plastic doll’s head in the sand; a broken statue wreathed in thick vines; the entrance to a vast underground cavern, formed from smooth stone.
* Many Legends exist, and all have an element of truth.

THE WASTES
* The world is a chaotic swirl of sandstorms, flash floods, parched earth and pockets of verdant growth, broken but recovering.
* The Wastes feel endless, but people gather around shared resources, in camps, villages and great strongholds. Only the Punks dare seek a world beyond.
* The Ruins haunt the land, remnants of a past life, fragments frozen at the moment of the cataclysm. Most is junk, but some is treasure.
* Hidden silos, havens and bunkers hold secrets and promise. Maybe some answers.

OUR PEOPLE
* The people are divided into the Wasters, the Corpos, the Bandits and the Punks.
* The Wasters just want to survive. They obey the Corpos and fear the Bandits.
* The Corpos want to control, and keep a fragile hold on the Wasters.
* The Bandits know the world is broken, so life means nothing anymore.

WHAT THE FUNK IS [nom du jeu]?

[nom du jeu] is a mid-future ecopunk ruin-delving survival game. Player characters (PCs or Punks) travel the world, seeking a safe homestead, called a Glade, to start a new community.

Around two hundred years ago, everything went to crud. The wealthy, who created this mess, fraked off to Mars while the lucky ones hid in vast underground bunkers. We were left to fend for ourselves on the surface, eking out an existence in the broken ruins they left behind, searching for remnants of a past world to help us survive, searching for a place to call home.

We’ll play a group of misfits who have found each other in the wastes and ruins of the fallen world. The past is just a hazy legend, a story scattered over thousands of USB sticks and servers. But the future is there to be written.
