HELP!!!

I know there are people still visiting this site despite the lack of any new game related content, but the problem is that I'm out of ideas.

Well, that's not entirely true. I have ideas, but I haven't been able to play and After the Bomb for quite a while, so the inspiration just isn't there.

I'm hoping that I can get some help from you.  Yes, YOU!

What would you like me to work on next? Scenarios, locations, NPCs, organizations, animal nations, short/micro fiction, etc. You name it and I'll work on it.

What ever you would like to see next, give me a vague idea of the type of scenario, NPC, nation, etc you want, and I'll do my best to get it posted.

Turtle Cart


This video gives me so many ideas, I don't know where to start.

Cats With Thumbs

I found this milk commercial and figured I'd share it here:

Imagine that, Cat's With THUMBS?!

Growth Accelerators

Years ago I wanted a logical reason for areas of the country to be completely overgrown with full grown forests even though less than a century had passed since the fall of civilization. What I came up with was an idea that forestry companies would have developed a fertilizer or genetically modified tree that would grow and mature at an accelerate rate. This would allow them to plant young trees and be able to harvest the lumber in as few as three years.

This eventually became the basis of an adventure I ran several years ago and am currently working on occasionally tinker with, "The Whispering Woods". This idea of genetically modified plants eventually found its way into another adventure I posted back in '08, "The Garden of Evil".

Interestingly enough, I came across an article today where a growth acceleration fertilizer was used with disastrous results:

The flying pips, shattered shells and wet shrapnel still haunt farmer Liu Mingsuo after an effort to chemically boost his fruit crop went spectacularly wrong.

Fields of watermelons exploded when he and other agricultural workers in eastern China mistakenly applied forchlorfenuron, a growth accelerator. The incident has become a focus of a Chinese media drive to expose the lax farming practices, shortcuts and excessive use of fertiliser behind a rash of food safety scandals.

The director of the vegetable research institute at Qingdao Academy of Agricultural Science, Cui Jian says the chemical "should not harm anyone's health." Well, not unless one of those melons were to blow up in your face.

So you can see where you could have some fun with plants and science gone wrong.
