As a result, you had civil disorder, economical crisis, health crisis of course, blind killings (Jews for exemple), power switching... In addition, this was followed or linked to a general drop of global temperature, disruption of food production and widespread hunger. Strangely, I found that very similar of what would be the situation after a nuclear war and, therefore, I find it interesting in order to imagine what could happen.

Ok, I understand you. And I would agree with you in the analogies between the two cases if the nuclear exchange was limited to a certain degree. In the other case, a full nuclear conflict, I see too many unpredictable and unknown variables entering in equation. Ei! And I'm not being objective, Mo! I'm still under the "Threads" effect.

I totally agree with you. As a GM, I think that once you have decided that you will depart from a certain background, you must build your world/campaign accordingly. Being realistic is not as important as being plausible

I'm trying to get it, but without success, for the moment. I've only managed some links to download it in Spanish or German. It seems it has not been translated to French or Portuguese. But it's strange that we've been unable to find a link for the English version.
