38 thoughts on “What’s your favorite established apocalyptic setting?”

  1. The 100 is a wonderful setup: humans escaped into space due to nuclear war, when they returned to the surface, there were people who survived already there.

  2. Fallout. Second favorite is Burn Shift, from the Fate Worlds book. Third is The Last of Us. (Similar to Walking Dead, but I like fungi.)

    I really prefer post-apocalyptic games to movies and TV, apparently. And my favorite one from novels is a huge spoiler. 🙂

  22. We use to create worlds based on Mad Max and The 100, even inspired in Water World, but always make them our own. No reason to play in someone’s else world.

  24. The Logan’s Run tv series. People cooped up in a domed city after a nuclear holocaust and going out in the world to see how it’s changed in 500 years. (Plus the whole being hunted for wanting to live past 30 thing.)

  26. Lois Lowry’s The Giver quartette, perhaps especially Gathering Blue

    Timothy Egan’s The Worst Hard Time , about the American dust storms of the 1920s.

    Phyllis Montana-Leblanc’s Not Just the Levees Broke: My Story During and After Hurricane Katrina

    S.C. Gwynn’s Empire of the Summer Moon, about the rise and fall of the Comanche.

    Patricia McCormick’s Never Fall Down is amazing, but super not a setting in which I want to play.

  34. BBC tv show – Survivors: People struggle to stay alive after a virus nearly wipes out mankind.

    First episode date: November 23, 2008, Final episode date: February 23, 2010

  37. Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind; it’s post-apocalypse meets Dune as portrayed by Studio Ghibli’s Hayao Miyazaki (the film is alright, but the comics are much better).
