So....

Game geeks of various stripes.


I just got through watching the finale of Jericho, which was really pretty good...if they were going to continue the show. I was thinking it would be interesting to run a Jericho game. Basically an early post apocalyptic game. Rather than the whole world has turned to crap and there are ZOMBIES everywhere, a more of the world is shaken and individuals have to take a stand try and rebuild. The concept of a game set in the second American civil war that is described at the end of Jericho could be really compelling.

The question is what system do you do a game like that? You don't want to go to rules light cause well the combat that happens should be more believable than a lot of rules light systems might reflect. I am looking for different peoples takes on the idea. It may not happen mind you but I am thinking about it.

For me, it really boils down to how fatal you really want the system to be. A fair risk system would be WoD of course, but if you're looking for something that is a little less re-rolly character wise, I'd recommend D20 Modern with the Wound/Vitality system (if it's not already in there, I forget).


Unrelated sidenote: Bernard says he does have game.
