Dustbowl Overview [WIP]

Dustbowl

Theme:
BBcode being a bitch.

Overview:

The world as we know it was suddenly driven into an apoclypse. In the year 2012, North Korea launched its nuclear weapons on to South Korea after it launched an invasion. At the same time, The Uk's subs launched its nuclear weapons on land side Europe. Soon the whole world was driven into Mutuially assured destruction, every country with nuclear armaments launched its salvos. There were no events prior that would've instigated such, things were stable, there was no shortage of resources or any detrimental instigator.

The year is 2040,
28 years after the day of judgement.
The world was reshaped, lands torn asunder and engulfed in fire and radiation. Many cities were ravaged while some left considerably complete.
Bandits roam the great plains, raiders lurk in the radiated wastes of what used to be metropolises. There is always danger in the new world.
Stories tell of monsters lurking caves and mines that hunt the unwary.

But things are not all lost. There are bastions of survivors, those who live appropriately justly. Though their creed, law and citizens come in different forms; there is still hope.
To live in this world is to suffer, toil and struggle for their survival even in a civilized town.

The Campaign
The Campaign will consist of two parts, the main storyline and secondary plots.

Rules
Common sense is the first rule. I will not make you wisdom checks if you do something stupid like rushing a camp of bandits with a knife.
Further more, use common sense to guide your actions. This won't be some puffed up Exalted game where you're a god among man, you're a wastelander like everyone else.
You should conciser running away if you're outgunned and out numbered.

Power gaming
I will not allow power gaming, you will not get away with not doing your paperwork and not updating your ammo count.
Your actions will be set according to your mortal limits and abilities.
Also your weapon will degrade over time with inproper use and mistreatment.
