I just learned that Under an Atomic Sky is on itch.io 's "New and Popular" page and I think that's pretty neat! Thank you to everyone who has shown interest & support in this project!

My writing partner and I spent an hour and a half last night pouring over notes we wrote about a dungeon 2 years ago trying to match them against a map that I drew 1 year ago. Suffice to say, these things did not align. Sure hope I learn an important lesson from this!

How long after 1e can one get started on 2e? Especially if 2e is mostly minor rules fixes, clarifications, and some expanded content rather than a full-blown rewrite?

I don't often post things outside of project announcements because I'm just kind of a guy who makes silly things during his work downtime. I didn't pioneer anything and I don't think I have too many original ideas. But boy howdy am I inspired by a lot of stuff, so I'll share some of that!

I'm obsessed with the post-apocalypse because I like cowboy hats, deserts, and revolvers but I also like lasers, muscle cars, and rockabilly and I can cram all of those things into one project and no one gets mad.
