The coming years will prove increasingly cynical and cruel. People will definitely not slip into oblivion while hugging each other. The final stages in the life of humanity will be marked by the monstrous war of all against all: the amount of suffering will be maximal...
This is the story of the worst Thanksgiving ever.
Three unlikely groups: a shell-shocked family, a band of complete strangers, and a rogue military squad, all experience and endure the complete collapse of global society on November 26th, 2015, from there own little corner in San Francisco, California. As stock markets across the globe plummet, hyperinflation cripples commerce and the mounting crisis passes the tipping point. Just in time for Black Friday too.
Practically overnight, the fragile chains of supply and high technology infrastructure fall, and wholesale rioting and looting grip every major city. As national economies burst into flames, peace and sanity burn with them. Sides are taken; arms and armies made and mobilized; and all manner of chemical, nuclear and biological hell are unleashed in storm of human frustration, misdirected anger and complete despair.
Due to similar circumstances, each group is forced to trek to the East, all of them pressed to seek sanctuary in civilizations last respite. A place known only as, Eureka. As hordes of refugees, looters and opportunists pour out of the cities, our trio tries to make its way cross country to their Seaboard safe-haven. The journey requires all their skill and savvy, since communication, commerce, transportation, and law enforcement have all disappeared. Along the way our survivors face off against an avalanche of obstacles, from vicious attacks from outsiders, to assisting other groups that are trying to restore some semblance of order in these American Deathlands.
Join us for a thrilling story of the collapse of the world, and the rebirth of a new one.

Earth was always dangerous, with a million ways to die every day. The only thing The End did, was add a couple thousand more. Among them biological mutants, radiation pockets, acid storms, marauders, mercenaries, flesh traders, and the Orange Mist.
Maybe for these and other reasons, survivors in the Deathlands are usually gathered in large communities strung throughout pre-End ruins of overgrown cities and crumbling metropolises. Filled to the brim with Settlers, shifty Traders, would-be Gunslingers and aimless Drifters. Small farms and homesteads are also common, but less so every year. Summers are hard. Winters are harder. And the risk of remaining independent, and isolated, is becoming more of a burden than a benefit.
People everywhere have had to make do with what they have. Food is within the reach of most. Running water and electricity are once more luxuries, fondly remembered, and sorely missed. Oil is worth more than gold, and ten times as hard to get. Ammunition is the new currency, bring bartering back in vogue. Technologically, humanities thrown back 200 years. In some places, even further. Welcome to your world, circa 2030.Character Creation SheetRequired Information

Bio: Born in the wake of the Vietnam conflict to a military veteran and an anti-war activist, Nicolas was destined to play the role of a natural born Devil's Advocate. Hard studying, and harder working, opened a door into the greater halls of academia for the then young man. Earning his stripes in the ivory towers of knowledge, Petraeus found himself holding school in the rooms of UC Berkley, respected by his peers and popular with the students. Perhaps it was his fondness for civilization, for culture, that made the events of The End hardest to bear for him, among all the members of The Family.
