Yeah, I chose Buffalo in my scribblings because looking at the map of nuclear targets (made by one of the fine fellows in the forum here), I realized that the city was pretty well off, and had Niagara to help power things if you had the brains to put it together.
I never got far enough in the writings (my inspiration seems to come and go) but I did have a 'warlord' who pretended to be on-call with MilGov forces, thus warranting his marauder force to 'tax' the population and collect 'their dues' (read: guns, ammo, women). Turns out he was just insane, and he actually got ventilated by the young ward of the main character, with a very lucky roll on her behalf.
A bit of a tangent, but writing a story based on what the dice tell me was actually a lot funner than I thought. The young ward also got shot at a very inappropriate moment, making the event that more shocking, for her and for me!
