[Q&A] Ralf Wall (Atomic Shadows RPG)

[7:46 PM]RaflarTheWanderer: Hi there, my name is Ralf Wall (aka Raflar the Wanderer). I’ve been playing TTRPGs since the early 80s. While I’ve been home brewing and creating content for decades, this is my first foray into sharing with the public. Today I’d love to talk about my first published work: Atomic Shadows – Post Apocalyptic RPG. This game is made for the ShadowDark RPG (so rules light / OSR) and is a cross between Gamma World and the Fallout video games. Gamma World was the first TTRPG I ran when I started the “D&D Club” in high school. I’ve always loved dystopian themes and even created a home-brew post-apocalyptic fantasy setting – much of those rules (mutations) were ported into this game. I chose the ShadowDark rule system for its ease of use, combining the old-school feel with some new school rules. And since I also created new classes and spells for ShadowDark I was already on that path. Plus ShadowDark’s popularity doesn’t hurt.
