We called it the Fire from Heaven.
Like so many days were terrible things happen out of now were it started like any other. People went to work, children went to school, plans for dinner were made. It was just so normal. Not a single person expected it. It was so unexpected, so sudden. The world ground to a halt. The Fire of Heaven came down and ended those days of normality and the birth of a new and alien world.
Do not ask what it was. A gigantic beam of green light descended from the sky, visible from all across the world. It disappeared as soon as it came. Immediately the effect of the Fire took hold. Massive thunderstorms swirled around the globe and electrical anomalies ripped apart the power grids. For the first time in hundreds of years the only light in the night was the twinkling of starlight.
Funny how those that were alive back then longed for those years shortly after the Fire came. Even then the world had changed. Without electricity the modern world was gone. The large cities became desolate waste lands ripped apart by gang wars and food riots, life was tough back then, but at least there could have been a future in that world. The world was dark, but it wasn't cold.
The freeze started a few years after the thunderstorm. Winter came early and summer's started to get short. That's when people got truly desperate. Some banned together, other shed there humanity and became ravenous killers. Famine and cold rule the world where man once stood. A whole generation has grown to adult hood in this new world, never knowing what the old world was like, only knowing the fear, the hunger and the cold.This is the winter of discontent.
What is this?
Winter of Discontent is a post-apocalyptic role play taking place around thirty years after a mysterious Fire from Heaven caused both a massive power outage and started a new Ice Age. This will primarily be a story driven role play with the players trying to survive an environment that once was familiar but is know alien and hostile and other people. Our story starts on August 3rd 2047. Winter is fast approaching. Will you survive another year, or will you be one of the unnumbered souls who perish?
Locations
Burlington, ND: Burlington is the largest town in the area with a population of around three hundred people. With it proximity to Minot and the air force base Burlington has access to what little materials are left in the city. Unfortunately the closer you are to Minot the more prevalent bandits are.
With the onset of winter the citizens of Burlington are faced with a choice. Leave the town for warmer regions in the south or brave one more winter. This is where most characters will start.
Ruthvile: A small hamlet of 50 people Ruthvile is a stopping of point for groups heading into the far north.
Minot AFB Once an installation for the now dead United States, Minot AFB is a prime target for scavenging groups and bandits. While most of the base has been picked clean, there are still some goods if you look hard enough.
Minot: Once the county seat for Ward county, with a population nearly 50,000 before the Fire. Today it is a sad reminder of what once was and what could have been. Largely abandoned and picked clean be scavengers and nearby settlements for building material. Much of the city has been reclaimed by nature and the never ceasing march of winter.
