The apocalypse was just the beginning. The main shock of the Fall is over, and we survived that... barely. But the world’s remnants are fragile, teetering on the precipice of oblivion. And even if we hold it together, the wasteland’s creatures are far better adapted to this new world than we could ever be...

In this book you’ll find all sorts of horrors and torments to plague your game of Legacy: Life Among the Ruins.
