The Divided States of America Role Playing Game, (Paperback)

<p>No one can say with any reasonable certainty when the United States of America began to fall apart. Many point to the presidential election of 2016, but most believe the breakup started long before this. Now, in the year 2110, the former United States is made up of fourteen nation-states and The Wastelands. Some of the nation-states have prospered under self-rule, while others have declined. Some nation-states are very accepting of outsiders, while others trust no one...sometimes not even their fellow citizens. There is chaos in some places, and order in others...sometimes too much order.</p><p>The first state to break away from the USA was, not unexpectedly, Texas, and from there, things continued to spiral out of control as the national government tried to hold on to control that the state governments wanted back, and eventually, the federal government was no longer able to control the states, and the break-up came about.</p><p>Some of the nation-states kept the name "America" in their new names. Some did this as a tribute to where they had come from, while others did it to remind their citizens of what they were breaking away from. Others adopted new names, or took on names that were given to them.</p><p>Borders in some areas are heavily patrolled, even walled in places, while other borders have no protection at all...mostly it depends on the views of the new government and its citizens, even though sometimes those two groups still don't agree. Let's face it, greed and independence are bred into the human race, and even allying with others that have similar viewpoints does not necessarily mean that they will always get along.</p><p> </p><p>As a game, players create characters with seven attributes that are used to enhance a variety of skills. As the characters advance, they gain experience, which can be put towards their skills, their health, or banked to allow the player to raise their character's attributes.</p>
