Pages: 150+
Estimated Delivery: December 2019
THE AFTER is a setting of savage frontier action (think The Revenant or Jeremiah Johnson) in a sci-fi post-apocalyptic world (think Annihilation or The Quiet Place). It uses the newly retooled Savage Worlds Adventure Edition. The Fast, Fun and Furious vibe of Savage Worlds fits the tone we were looking for in THE AFTER.
THE AFTER is set in the northwestern reaches of the broken North American continent. You play survivors of the shattered human race trying to rebuild their world after nearly a century of alien predation and war. The utterly destructive invasion of Earth, followed by a terrifying war between rival Alien species far more advanced than mankind, has left the Earth a broken version of its former self. Major cities and areas of industrial and military strength have been completely obliterated. Only in the worlds most sparsely populated areas have people survived: areas that were ignored or undervalued by the the rampaging alien forces.
Two frighteningly powerful rival species fought and used the Earth as their battleground. The flesh harvesting Butchers, masters of Genetics and bio-manipulation warred against their mortal enemy The Ghosts, eerie, dimensional travelling beings of energy.
The Invaders left as quickly as they arrived, their sudden disappearance a mystery to those who survived the war. But those survivors found the Earth to be changed, altered by bizarre dimensional breaches and populated by creatures warped through alien genetics and bio-mechanical experimentation. Survivors also discovered that they were no longer alone in the World, although the warring Alien species no longer plagued the Earth, other beings from the stars remain. Slaves and outcasts left to find a place for themselves in an unforgiving world.
Many survivors and their children have also been changed. Mutagenic compounds altered the DNA of some, causing strange mutations, while others have been touched by dimensional anomalies, opening their minds to potent abilities and strange powers, A gift that is often viewed with awe and fear by others.
It is now a world of great change but also great opportunity; a strange world to explore and to forge a new home in. With the collapse of modern civilization, survivors must return to the old ways, find inspiration and knowledge utilized by frontiersman and native people who lived and prospered in North America centuries before.
New bonds must be formed, new settlements require aid and protection and the war ravaged ruins of Pre-Harvest Earth need to be explored for their knowledge and resources.
The war is over. The Enemy has gone. Reclaim the Earth.
