Where have you set your Homelands? I’m considering one on the Baltic Sea and another in North Africa, and was a little surprised to see the quickstart be set on an alien planet.

Personally, I’m more interested in the possibility of really gonzo settings – something like Larry Niven’s Integral Trees, or a collapse from magic/tech fusion like the In-World of the Dark Tower series.
To elaborate; I’m slapping together a “test” run just to familiarize myself with things, and have my Homeland parked somewhere in what was Poland before the Fall. The Order is a chivalric bunch of wannabe dragonslayers cooped up in a ruined Teutonic castle, I’m trying to conceptualize a bunch of Pioneers living in the Baltic Sea, and then my last one or two Families are still up in the air.
A mundane setting can work very well – one of my own early games was set around a car-building factory in detroit! I went with an alien setting for the quickstart to underline that it can be a much weirder setting than other post-apoc games, but especially playing in the Ruins mode an earth-based near-future game can work very well.
It is unclear whether our homeland is set on Earth, our reality, or somewhere else. I am leaving it open depending in how the game goes.
Luke JW that’s definitely my preferred setup – leaving things open to be filled in later.
Lex Permann… the beauty is to find out! Decide the allowed modes, let them pick Families and soon you will have a map. From there on, things will settle and you will all divine the location together.
A Ruins mode most likely will resemble somewhere on Earth, but that’s not a guarantee 🙂
