I've only run one post-apoc game (a single encounter in what was basically Grayhawk in the modern day), but the closest there really was to a connection to the past was (IIRC) one player who was alive Before.<br /><br />Otherwise, it was basically a small dungeon crawl (old convenience store) with GP replaced by misc. scraps and a harpy at the end.MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086901374821838288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-80035581358061100142015-07-20T06:40:38.817-04:002015-07-20T06:40:38.817-04:00It can be kind of distant in time, but the players...It can be kind of distant in time, but the players need a connection to that past.
