I just put a long 4 year custom campaign to bed. As is always the case my mind is now in turbo mode, generating ideas for a new one. Here's what I've got so far - what do people think? Do people have suggestions on how to improve/develop it?
- Hundreds of years ago “the doom” occurred. A mysterious event that warped the face of the land.
- Relics of the doom have stood for time immemorial.
- Not much is known about the few buildings that remain; and they largely lie undisturbed, for too many stories of horror and mystery surround them.
- The landscape is post-apocalyptic; filled with strange bioluminescent fauna and flora, dusty deserts and huge craters.
- There is a large drought, and water and other resources are drying up.
- There will soon not be enough water for the next harvest in the village where the PCs begin.
- The last of the village's water is stolen by a nearby gang, and the players must confront them
- On defeating the gang the PCs hear tell of a green land far away.
- Sci-fi guns, explosives, robots, and vehicles exist; though in short supply. Guns are typically handed down from one generation to the next. Vehicles are very rare, at least where the PCs begin.
- I would like to do some work with time-travel and parallel universes, but haven't given too much consideration yet.
Would love to know what you guys think. Bit Mad Max/Interstellar. Cheers!

That aside, this sounds like it could be an interesting campaign.

Its on my regular rotation of campaigns. Very fun, does damn near everything you're saying you want. Is NOT d&d.
