Oh for sure. I don't see the radiation and its fallout disappearing anytime soon whatsoever. I was merely addressing the fleeting effects of the dark years. Namely, reintroducing civility. 

While I also want to hear the others opinion on this, having two separate generations, as you said, would make for a very interesting social attribute. Perhaps it'll add a bit of flair into the story overall. Plus, I can still incorporate the above, for it'll be a HUGE story element within this. I'd like to keep how a secret for right now though. Anyway, for right now, why don't you create your character under the assumption that we'll begin at 2065 then. I can't see the others having a huge problem with this. Everyone - including myself - will probably have to amend our biographies a tad. 

I'm in the works of creating a general map of the world, which will label the green zones with respect to the yellow and red zones. Hopefully that'll be up this weekend. 

Arlear and IrishAngelQueen, other than amending your biography and birth dates due to the above, everything I've read so far looks pretty spot on.
