[quote=@DeadBeatWalking] Definitely interested, though I've got a few questions for different characters in mind. 1) With no machines to press thousands of pills a day, how far back has medicine gone? Is there still surgery? Are medical textbooks/unexpired medicine still used? Is losing a limb a death sentence or a segue into a cool Furiosa arm? 2) Do inner cities use old world drugs and alcohol, or is everyone shooting up newfangled apocalypse juice? 3) How mutated/different are the flora and fauna? Are we just dealing with hardy desert descendants or did mutation make things all alien? 4) How much of a common law is there? [/quote] Hey Deadbeat! I'll answer the best I can on my phone. 1.Medicine has gone back a good ways thanks to a lack of mechanization. Herbal medicines, ethers, alcohol and such (late 1800's-1910 medical advances) are found in larger cities. In smaller villages it's down to luck and prayer to survive grevious wounds or sickness. Influenza is still a dangerous killer every winter. 2.The old ways of distilling alcohol are still used. Whiskey, beer and other liquors are still common (and valuable trade goods). Some new drugs have been made (many cocktails of poisonous materials which are horribly addicting). So there's your growable drugs, and some apocolypse juices here and there. 3.There's some mutations in areas where nuclear plants weren't disarmed (there's plot reasons why the world isn't a giant nuclear wasteland) but a common area of mutated flora and fauna are around the Old Cities, adding more danger to exploring these places. 4. The standard common laws apply in nearly every nation and city. Murder, thievery, etc. are illegal everywhere. Laws are enforced by local sheriffs, which makes those who flee more difficult to find. Bounty offices have popped up in many cities to hire those who would hunt those fleeing justice.
