It means it's pretty likely that someone is going to want to run a low-powered game, IME. Soon as you put in "post-apoc" some people are going to want to run games about surviving in the harsh environment. You should ALSO be able to support psionic chambara mutant dinosaur combat in the fallen ruins of a magical past, but that's a hell of a lot easier to start low and build up to than it is to go the other way.

Sure, but D&D starts you out as incompetents. You don't translate mechanics directly between the two systems.

But a lot of it is stealable with slight tweaking and will save you work.
