Fantastic Post-Apocalyptic Story Gaming
Absolutely gorgeous single-session GMless story centered game. Players must navigate a year in a community after an apocalypse. Each week is represented by a card from a standard 52 card deck, each suit a season.
When a card is drawn it introduces a new choice to be made by a player about your community, with limited organised discussions about these choices replicating failures in communications in real communities. This choice is then represented on a map of your community that you build as you play.
This game is absolutely brilliant as a first TTRPG, a first session to build the setting for a post apocalyptic game in another system or just as a standalone one shot. It only takes one 2-3 hour session, some paper, pens, 6 sided dice, a standard deck of playing cards and the PDF. The questions it asks prompt very interesting ideas about your community to build somewhere that feels alive and fully fleshed out. A great buy!

My first memory of this book is hearing adults talk about the Lincoln Tunnel scene, while in the Lincoln Tunnel. That is where my fear of tunnels began.
I read the book in college and loved it. By this time I was a post apocalyptic junkie and the good vs evil concept was awesome.

[Station Eleven] is a literary tale of the end of civilization. Unlike most of the novels about the post apocalyptic world [Emily St. John Mandel] weaves a story built of relationships. It would compare to a futuristic [Canterbury Tales] as it tells the tales of the survivors in this one band and their journey.

[The Last Orphans] by [N.W. Harris] was a quick read in my favorite genre of post-apocalyptic novels. The way people survive always gives me hope for society. When all the adults die is sudden and horrible ways Tyler finds himself taking care of the survivors. Can he save them before it is too late.

Gripping and the pace of the movie is about right (2 more)
The bleak and gritty post-apocalyptic atmosphere
Easily-digestible
At 80 minutes, and with an abrupt ending it feels like it could have delved further (3 more)
The 'invaders' acted completely unrealistically during the 'siege'
Character inconsistencies throughout
Way too linear and simplistic
Simplistic premise, reasonably well delivered

This post apocalyptic movie although starring the always watchable Denzel divided opinions not because it was a bad film but because of its religious undertones and in my opinion apart from the great fight scenes it was quite a flat story with a below average twist, a one trick pony that I'm not in a hurry to catch again.

Mad Max (1 more)
Post Apocalptic Setting
Don't Stand So Close To Him
The Road Warrior- ups the action, the adventure, the post apocalyptic setting and of course max returns. Dont stand so close to him, cause he might shoot you. So stay your distance from him. Max is furious, dangerous and of course mad.
The plot: After avenging the death of his wife and young son at the hands of a vicious gang leader, Max (Mel Gibson) drives the post-apocalyptic highways of the Australian outback, fending off attacks from nomadic tribes that prey on outsiders. Falling into an encampment led by the relatively peaceful Pappagallo (Mike Preston), Max at first schemes to steal their oil, but soon becomes the group's reluctant defender against the hulking Humungus (Kjell Nilsson) and his ruthless marauders.
Its a good film, i personally like the first one better. But this one is really good as well. If you havent seen it, than watch it.
