Aftermath!
Aftermath! is a
role-playing game created by Paul Hume & Robert Charette which was published in
1981 by
Fantasy Games Unlimited. It is set in a
post-apocalyptic world in which the characters typically have to fight for food, water, basic supplies and shelter. The rules are reasonably complex and include many flow charts and tables to enable the
Games Master to simulate the world. This leads to a very immersive gaming experience. However, it does require a good knowledge of the rules to play.
