Ok, so the more I think about it the more I am sure we are going to do Pathfinder Rpg and that it will be a mix of horror, fantasy and survival. I want small struggling towns and villages with local warlords trying to control as much as they can. Were raising food and scavaging are the two most used skills/professions. I think I will also have the game start in the Deep Sout of the US...possibly even New Orleans will get some attention here. So the idea for the world is starting to take shape for me with the bare bones of it at least. I think 10 - 20 years after the would be a good starting point. That would let characters be of two main types. Those older folk that survived the destruction of the world and were there from day one trying to survive and the children of the new age. Folk that never knew what the world was like and only have the current events of the post apocolypse to form their belief. Lots of RP availability there with the newer generation whole hardily believing in magic and the mystical while the older generation making comments and statements that are funny OOC comments that the newer gen would have no idea what they were talking about. The older folk were there at the discovery of magic and could be the wizened old wizard that helped formulate the spells of the day or those that truly still do not believe in it... So, for the game begining we are looking at somewhere in the 2022 to 2042 range.
