So here it is, the product of quite a few days work. Originally starting as another chapter in the "Complete Fire Arm" fallen future is all about playing D&D in a post apocalypse.

Here is the link (http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/BybW8VYvz7)

To begin with the starting assumption with this project was the following: D&D works in this setting. In fact one can argue that the Points of Light setting is basically post apocalyptic, small points of civilization in a sea of darkness and barbarity. As such this project to work needed only five things: thematic races, Thematic sub classes, Thematic equipment (mostly fire arms since most equipment in D&D already works, AKA Lantern=Flash light) Spells and monsters. I have 3 of those 5.

5 thematic races, 19 sub classes, (a few unfinished) at mostly two per class, some equipment, but I ran out of steam at spells and monsters. Monsters out of a lack of experience in balancing monsters, and spells because. . . well i just ran out of steam and wanted to share what i had so far. Still what I had should be enough to start and get feed back. More then enough really.

In any case here are some examples of what I have in this document. First some race examples.

Now some examples of the subclasses first the bard,

Then two for fighter

Also see the nechronica art? got a race based on them too.
Lastly a page on using bullets as money, ala metro 2033.

Again: here is the link to the Homebrewry page (http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/BybW8VYvz7). thoughts by those who can give feed back and indeed help on further creation would be helpful. Spell suggestions would be very welcome and ideas for monsters would also be welcome. Aside from a million and one constructs I don't have a lot of fire power. Though I suppose you could easily re fluff a owl bear into a mutant or a zombie into being a radiation. . .zombie. As I said: D&D already has the tools for this kind of game, just needs some thematic options i think.

I got most of the way, maybe about 1/2 of the way, just need a hand and some feed back to put the rest together.
