Can anyone recommend me a system with a post-apocalyptic setting that is not Apocalypse world? I talked to my players about what setting they preferred and they agreed on post-apocalyptic, but the Apocalypse world system wouldn't fit our group. If it would help as a group we've only ever played D&D 5e. I'm familiar with a few more systems but overall we're pretty new to the whole roleplaying thing.
I guess also post-apocalypse art thread.
What exactly are you looking for for your Post-Apocalyptic system?

Twilight 2000 and its sequel, Twilight 2013, are really good post-apoc systems. It's Stalker, it's Mad Max, it's The Road. It's a lot of things rolled into one and it works great.
Apocalypse World is garbage and you're right to avoid it.

I guess a D&D-ish game in terms of complexity, I can handle more crunch but my players certainly can't (they barely handle 5e ffs)
As for setting >>47337958 sounds pretty good, I'll check it out. Thanks anon.
If anyone is interested here's a link to Twilight 2013 rules

If there's no interest tho I guess I'll just let the tread die

The Morrow Project. Have fun.

Wait, wait... Book of Eli was in the same universe as Mad Max?

Which edition would you recommend anon?

It's just a fan theory. One that I like quite a lot.

Check out Barbarians of the Aftermath. It's a splat for Barbarians of Lemuria (Conan the RPG) made for post-apoc fun. It's pretty good.

This anon is suggesting a crunch-heavy mathslog, which is probably going to be a big negative for your players. BoL is really, really simple compared to even D&D.

What languages do you speak, OP?
Mutant: Undergångens Arvtagare exists only in Swedish. Mutant: Year Zero exists in English, but I can't vouch for the quality.
Neuroshima exists in Polish, and the setting sounds awesome, but I don't speak Polish, so I can't vouch for that either.
>>47338437
Yeah, I think you might be right. Thanks for the input.

English and my tiny Eastern European language with no RPG scene. I have basic understanding of German and most slavic languages but not enough to read and properly understand rules.
If you're not going to do apocalypse world, but still want light rules take a look at Atomic Highway. Its free, not too crunch heavy, still has some meat to it.
If everyone is interested in map-combat you could use Savage Worlds, its not very complicated, generic and pulpy heroic.
>>47338437 Barbarians of the Aftermath is a good option too.
Except there is literally nothing wrong with Apocalypse World. Except I can see you play DnD so your taste is pretty much automatically shit. Why don't you adapt 5e for post apocalypse and end up with some garbage ass home brew that you'll lap up anyway because it means you get to keep playing your precious DnD and not try a different system you fucking piece of shit.

>anon, failing to get any bites in the other threads, attempts to work his wiles here
You can also try Degenesis as its pretty simple rule set and the setting is fucking amazing.

My friend, you are either terribly failing at reading comprehension or are a troll. If you are the latter, then I'd give you a solid 3/10, gathered some responses.
As for everyone else, thank you for your input, you helped a lot. I am going to bed now, feel free to hijack the thread for whatever your hearts desire.

I'm sorry you failed 5th grade arithmetic, anon, but that's no reason to spread lies about games to unsuspecting people.

So what you're saying is that OP's group, who are claimed to "barely handle 5e", will have no problem with T13.
I take issue with your post.
>>47338244
I too am interested in this. Which edition is the one to go with?
>>47338865
>Neuroshima
Finally a reason to learn polish. Where can I grab the pdfs?
