GURPS After the End 1: Wastelanders

It's possibly still in production. Factories are unlikely to be in the CBD so when a city gets destroyed the factory survives.

PK, on Doc page 5 in advantages, you have Rep +1 with a cost of 2. With the "on a roll of 10 or less" modifier it halves the cost of 5.

Should this cost be 3 with a round up or keep it at 2?

Reputation has a specific rule to round costs down. See p28 of the Basic Set.

I was too lazy to read the following line. O.o

Having a factory does you zippty squat when you have no power, no raw materials, and your work force can't spare the time to work in a factory because they're busy trying to find food.

I presume it's 4$ as a result of the "default" TL being 4 - the price is doubled twice for going from TL 6 to TL 5 to TL 4.

I make my duct tape out of cloth and bubblegum. :D

I should know by now never to get new GURPS setting books. I almost didn't get this one, but caved at the last minute. Now I have a physical need to run a post-apocalyptic game.

This is why I can't have nice things.

Whatchoo talking about? You'll have a very nice post-apocalypse game.

I too decided not to eat fast-food this week and picked up ATE 1. Very nice... I specially like the way LFP solves a problem I never knew I had and Freakishness and RPs solve one I did have...

PK, what are the chances we'll get some rules on disease in a future AtE book? or at the very least a list of new ones to infect my players with?

I would... If I had players willing to play in one/who have time to play another game beyond the ones I'm already running. I suppose I'd need to find the time to play it as well, but I can always give up sleep.
