Episode 3 : Near Future Adventures

We discuss exploring worlds so similar to our own that it could be a possible future.  In many cases these are worlds that have experience a disaster or catastrophe of some kind like nuclear war, plague, asteroid strike, or zombie apocalypse. Players love near future worlds since they may have technology that can easily be adopted by Earth Prime.  We discuss how the GM can avoid that wrecking her campaign. 01:14 Savage Worlds Fringeworthy 03:42 World Building - Near Future Intro 05:22 Disasters in near future 05:50 Radiation issues 08:40 Biological damage issues 15:24 Natural disasters 16:00 what kind of adventures are not good choices 19:15 Adventure hooks 23:30 futuristic weapons 25:50 Why players love near future worlds 32:50 transportation 37:00 Virtual Reality 43:16 Space flight and colonization 46:00 Alternate physics worlds 48:00 How new tech can wreck Earth Prime 52:00 How to prevent this
