    The crawling under a broken moon comes from Thundar the Barbarian cartoon. Maybe the greatest 80’s cartoon ever.

      Yes, i recall when i was a kid watching that and it was so unique and weird, it was the one i looked forward to seeing on Saturday. But it had a lot of disconcerting stuff going on. Lol

    I appreciate the mutations in MCC, but for some reason I like the classes and the mix of sci-fi, fantasy, and magic in Umerican's post-apocalyptic setting. Along with it's dash of comic satire.

    This looks amazing, and it harkens back to my Post-Apocalyptic gaming days of the 1980’s.
    By the way Jorphdan, I must commend you on your video subjects lately. These reviews and commentaries on OSR games are a welcome respite from the nonsense that Hazards-Of-The-Bro has been putting out lately.
    Thanks for the effort.

    I ran the “damn tasty” module a while back. It was hilarious and fun. There is also a pretty easy way to bend it to Kamandi/ Planet of the apes/ flavor - really it’s so elastic you could even find yourself a prisoner of the Dairy Queen in her ice cream mountains of madness. It really depends on what you want to do with it. I love the idea of a Saturday Morning cartoon and Evil dead mashup - scooby Doo with chainsaws! It goes way beyond the Mad Max dust bowl stuff.

    Thank you for the video. I bought the Umerica survival guide but after your video, I'm going to have to buy the other books I'm missing. I love the gonzoness of the setting and would love to run a campaign taking place in my home state and then allowing the players to adventure into other states fleshing out the entire US.

    I don't think I would have any interest in playing Umerica but I don't have any problem with its existence. Some people will enjoy it so power to them, I'm not going to stand on my porch and shout "Damn Kids, get offa ma lawn!" 😊
    I guess it does show how much RPG settings / modules / adventures / variants have exploded over the last couple of years. There are sooo many KS and crowdfunders out there for 5e and countless other systems. I do wonder if the diversity is fracturing the hobby but given the fan-base is growing so much it could be all the various segments are expanding all the same.

    • @nw42

      I think a cool thing about TTRPGs is how the community is almost _made_ to be fractured. Sure, there’s a certain amount of consensus with things like conventions, publishing, etc… but all you _really_ need is three or four people (or fewer!) and you can run your own weird adventures in your own weird settings with your own weird rules for *years* and have a great time. No one needs to bless what you’re doing, or even know about it. There’s as much or as little community as you want, and you can build your own small community around your table.
