From a gaming perspective and from a personal opinion, my favourite PA game was Judge Dredd the role-playing game. It may be viewed as a sci-fi game to some, but once you step out of Maga City One you're either in the Cursed Earth or the Black Atlantic, both ideal PA settings.<br /><br />Thanks for the download link.

From Stalker, Fallout, Book of Eli, The Road, I Am Legend, Mad Max, Planet of the Apes (kind of) There are many flavours that don't have vehicles in. I can't really recommend a ruleset for vehicles other than perhaps GorkaMorka by GW or Nuclear Renaissance by Ramshackle Games (Free)<br /><br />http://www.ramshacklegames.co.uk/nuclear/downloads.htmlSimon Quinton https://www.blogger.com/profile/18001946192905517180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-32174015556227252142012-07-25T17:56:40.950+01:002012-07-25T17:56:40.950+01:00"My concern is if you pass 2d6 you run into a..."My concern is if you pass 2d6 you run into a Settlement of some sort. This makes no sense if you're already in a Settlement. If you are outdoors, does the terrain suddenly transform into a new Settlement? "<br /><br />Here's a good case of reading and not playing. The Encounter Ratings in ATH are 1, 2 and 3.<br />Consequently to run into a settlement in a ER 1 area is 3% chance, people 28% and nothing 39%.<br />For ER 2 its 12%, people 44% and nothing 44%.<br />ER 3 its 25%, people 50%, nothing 25%<br /><br />As for they appearing out of nowhere that represents the area being out of your LOS until you move into it. If it moved into your LOS it doesn't matter that just means you moved and found it. Some of the old rules like WAJ had static PEFs that never moved and consequently you could avoid them which makes for a real boring game IMHO.<br /><br />Human centric was on purpose. ATZ is a fine human centric PA game if you don't use the zombies. So don't use the, right? Yep, but you still must pay for them. Kind of like buying a full loaf of bread and tossing away a quarter.<br /><br />Things will work out with the free supplements.Ed the THW Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292937946470988246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-73939284234657285732012-07-25T17:15:05.685+01:002012-07-25T17:15:05.685+01:00That's a very good point, Joe.That's a very good point, Joe.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-2256306135331690232012-07-25T16:16:03.466+01:002012-07-25T16:16:03.466+01:00Cheers, Sean.
