It's 1985. But a very different 1985.
In 1976, the Cold War turned hot as nuclear bombs fell from the sky on cities around the world. New York, London, Hong Kong, Seoul, Washington D.C. and many more major metropolitan cities vanished in a flash of flames, screams, and melted flesh.
While much of the world went untouched by flame all the survivors still felt the effects of the fallout. Entire landscapes became nuclear wastelands crawling with flesh-eating zombies and mutant monsters. Surviving cities rose up in the wake, becoming thriving metropolises that worship greed, capitalism, and pleasure. Malls, bowling alleys, arcades, movie theaters, and more are the religious chapels of the new world. However, crime, bigotry, systematic oppression, and tyranny reign in the shadows here.
Other untouched wilderness areas became the open wilds where animals, scavengers, farmers, ranchers, and more people made their lives. Those who live here call it a refuge from the horrors of the wastelands and the crime and decadence of the cities. Many of these folks cling to the "old religions."
Now, in a post-apocalyptic 1980s dystopia, you are seeking to make your own way in the world.
Neon Road is an ultra-simple solo tabletop roleplaying with themes focused on inspirations from grindhouse 70s and 80s sci-fi, cyberpunk, apocalypse, and horror films.
