The After is a post-alien-apocalypse where survival is only the beginning—and your characters decide what humanity becomes next.
If your players want:
Weird science without shiny utopias
Post-apocalypse with growth, not just decay
Exploration, factions, and consequences
A world that reacts to their choices
Then The After isn’t just a setting—it’s a future waiting to be written.
Welcome to The After
A savage, hopeful, and deeply playable post-apocalyptic sci-fi setting where humanity didn’t win the war… but it survived it.
More than a century ago, Earth was torn apart by two godlike alien civilizations waging war across our planet. Cities were harvested, the moon was cracked, reality itself was scarred—and then the invaders vanished, leaving humanity broken, scattered, and changed.
Now, The After begins.
You play survivors in the Wind River Valley, one of the few places on Earth where life is not just clinging on, but growing again. Lush land hides deadly secrets: warped beasts, alien ruins, Breach Zones where physics collapses, and the lingering horrors left behind by alien gods who treated Earth as a battlefield.
This is not a story about the end of the world.
It’s about what comes next.
You matter.
There are no empires, no global governments, no distant heroes. Every settlement survives because someone made hard choices. That someone now is you. Your characters decide which factions rise, which fall, and what kind of civilization replaces the old world.
Play the survivor you want to be.
Hardened scouts, traders, medics, ranchers, or guns-for-hire
The Gifted, wielding unstable Breach energy at terrible personal risk
The Changed, mutated by alien nanotech into something feared—or powerful
Alien survivors like Helots and Skav, trying to carve out a place in a human world
Every character carries scars from the past—and a stake in the future.
Explore a world that rewards curiosity.
Delve into Old World ruins. Brave Breach Zones where gravity bends and crystal jungles grow overnight. Salvage alien remnants that grant incredible power… but never without a cost. The setting constantly asks: How far are you willing to go to survive?
A brutal tone, balanced by hope.
The After is dangerous, strange, and often terrifying—but it isn’t nihilistic. Crops grow. Trade routes form. Children are born who never saw the Harvest. Communities argue, fracture, rebuild, and dream. Life endures, and your characters are proof of it.
Built for action and hard choices.
Using Savage Worlds, the game emphasizes fast combat, meaningful exploration, and tough moral decisions. Gear breaks down. Technology fails. Allies aren’t guaranteed. Victory is earned.
Games are played Thursday's at 8pm eastern, this is a "paid" game not because I'm trying to make money but make running the game revenue neutral and not me just shelling out money hand over fist.
