New Post-Apocalypse Game!

This is the little piece of pre-writing I did for a game I'm going to try and run in the next couple months:

"The year is 1997.
The world is in ruins.

In 1983, a Soviet false alarm was triggered by NATO's Able Archer 83 wargame exercise.
They responded by unleashing an R-36 ICBM on Washington, DC.
Within 48 hours, the modern world had been annihilated in nuclear fire.

You have lived most of your lives in the aftermath of a global nuclear war that brought the world to its knees.

You and your companions managed to escape the slaughter in your hometown of New Hope, PA with your lives and what little you could carry.
The truck you stole broke down on the edge of an unnamed town about 6 hours West of your starting point, but by then it was already running on fumes.

You were most likely followed by the masked men that burned your homes and killed your families.

This is the world you live in.
Survive. "

I'm gonna be using the fantastic Ruinations of the Dust Princess, a Lamentations of the Flame Princess deriviative I happen to like.

Hopefully it'll be great!
