I need your gamer knowledge!
Eero Tuovinen:
That is off-topic, yes. I also have the honor of having retailed Swing. It's one weird game, perhaps the "worst" (in the sense of me having difficulty finding redeeming reasons for anybody to buy it) we've ever retailed in our quest to bring indie games to Finland. Surprisingly enough the game apparently has something to it, considering that it sold out much faster than many rather good games - perhaps my choice to characterize it as "Mage with lots of attention to realism" has something to do with it.
Marshall Burns:
Oh, and on the topic of TSOY:
It doesn't feel postapocalyptic to me. Probably because there's a future for it that might even be nice. In Rustbelt, Mad Max, Waterworld, the future only holds the promise of more and more shit, getting shittier and shittier. Besides, in TSOY there wasn't really an apocalypse, anyway; just a cataclysm.
Although I gotta say that, for reasons I don't understand, the idea of "there was no moon before, now there is one" resonates powerfully with me.
Jason Morningstar:
The Morrow Project (Do look at this one, it is ostensibly all about reconstruction and quite interesting in many ways)
Aftermath! of course
Palladium's Dead Reign and the TMNT stuff, which is all post-apoc (After the Bomb, etc)
Darcy Burgess:
Hey Marshall,
There's Tribe 8, where the apocalypse came from within our souls and was made manifest as visceral, angelic creatures who have enslaved humanity.
Hunh. Looks like there was a second edition that expanded the mythos & the geography.
Go Shitstorm!

Krippler:
Sweden has various editions of Mutant. It's either about dungeon crawling and the rules are BRP getting less and less useful with each edition. The setting is quite awesome though mixing Disney, 18th century imperial Sweden and the socialist struggle of late 19th early 20th century with mutated animals being the niggers proletarians of the post apocalyptic society.
However: where does the Rustbelt system encourage doing horrible things? It basically makes you fight for what you believe, take drugs and get hurt alot.
