Heya
So I've been working on a Post-Apocalyptic Mutant Animal setting, and I think it's actually got some merit; decent fluff, background info, setting details and the like. I've not chosen the game system yet, but I'm concerned that if I went as far as getting it published it would be too close to existing settings such as After the Bomb and Rifts. I've tried very hard to steer clear of the details presented in these games, but I'd like some opinions as to whether one gaming company can corner the Post-Apocalyptic Mutant Animal market :).
Essentially are there other examples of the genre in RPGs and in sci-fi/fantasy literature that predate Palladium's mid-80's concepts, and could justify an alternative entry in the gaming world of anthropomorphopocalyptica (heh that was fun to type).
If more details about the setting are required let me know.
Thanks!
