Ashes: Afterglow

Sometime in the last century, a nuclear explosion wiped out Atlanta. The detonations spread — triggered by an aggressor that was never identified — and the face of the world changed permanently. In the ruins of what was once America, bizarre mutated creatures have emerged alongside strange phenomena that resist explanation. Settlements compete for survival against the wasteland, its lifeforms, and each other. You are a scavenger. The names change — stalker, junker — but the work is the same: locate the treasures the old world left behind and make it home with them. New powers are also rising, and they want their share of those same ruins.
