Post-Apocalypse
I’m not sure what it is about the end of the world, but I am a huge fan of post-apocalypse art and photography. Enough of a fan that I started a seperate tumblr just for images of it: TheEndWasNigh.tumblr.com
There is just something about bleak abandoned places that calls to me. Objects and locations bereft of the meaning humans gave to them. Empty, silent buildings and the strange horror that accompanies them. “This isn’t right, there should be something more." I think I like urban exploration a lot because of that feeling.
There are a lot of post-apoc games on the market and I think I’ve played most of them just for a taste of my odd fantasy XD I only partially enjoyed Fallout 3 and New Vegas, they were both too tongue in cheek and too gray/brown. I liked the overgrown and overrun look of games like Stalker: Shadows of Chernobyl. I played that game for years.
More recently I started playing Apocalypse World with my local gaming friends. Its a post-apoc rpg system that emphasizes a lot of conflict, independence, and SEX. I only managed to get a few months out of that campaign before it came to what we felt was a conclusion. Definitely want to get that going again. It was dark. Really really dark. And, being me, I made it kinky.
Its the end of the world, who isn’t going to take advantage of their fellow man in a kill-or-be-killed setting?
