[[Tabletop Games|Tabletop game]] set in the aftermath of World War Three (which took place in the late 1990s in that universe) and popular during the 1980s. Still played today, though -- RPOL has a number of games in the setting.
Suffered massively from [[The Great Politics Mess-Up]], rapidly becoming redundant with the end of the [[Cold War]]. The second edition featured [[Alternate Timeline|a new timeline]], which didn't prove popular. Especially in Germany, since whereas NATO launching a land invasion of Poland made some kind of sense when the latter was part of [[Commie Land]], [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|the new timeline basically had Germany starting WWIII by invading Poland.]] This led some players to [[Fanon Discontinuity|disregard it]] and use the original timeline, treating the whole thing as an exercise in [[Alternate History]].
Line 12:
The first scenarios were set in Poland, which [[Cultural Cross-Reference|surprised some of the Polish roleplayers]], and they featured horribly mangled [[Gratuitous Foreign Language|Gratuitous Polish]].
[[I Thought That Was|Not be confused]] with ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'', with which it probably doesn't have a large crossover demographic. Though a crossover fic between the two would be [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilarious]], confusing the two is one of the [[Things Mr. Welch Is No Longer Allowed to Do In An RPG]]. Compare to ''[[The Morrow Project]]'', a similar post-apocalyptic RPG.

* [[After the End]]: Kind of the point of the game.
* [[Army of Thieves and Whores]]: Many military units have turned to banditry and pillage in Europe.
