Morrow Project - Operational Question

[kalos72]

I have some of the books but thought some of you more avid players/GM's might know this.

Did the books, any of the books, explain the process Morrow wanted to use to help these people come back after the end of the world?

Did they suggest/document a strategy or series of things the teams should when they start to rebuild their zone?

I play T2K predominantly but I am trying to determine a strategy for this same thing in that setting. I have always thought about this process as a county by county thing but that seems to be very inefficient when I think of all the counties that really dont do anything for my larger government process, resource wise.

Then I was thinking of running along the major highways or railroads and rebuilding the counties along those patterns.

In my game, the New America faction is more like a Morrow Project group that helps our PC's...

Short answer: NO. There's no specific "Guide to rebuilding post-apocalypse civilization". I suspect that this is because such a guide would be very complex and probably not very enjoyable in a table-top RPG .

Something along the lines of "Arrange matters such that everyone has enough food, then set up schools and ensure that most people are literate and don't want to kill their neighbors". That would take years and be achieved by teaching the children of local farmers. Vital and rewarding work, but not something that would engage the interest of most gamers

It's up to the PD to introduce something more exciting.

Yeah I assumed as much, I spent a few hours last night perusing the 4th edition. Good stuff, especially the economics piece even if its incomplete.

I am struggling with this now, 1) what level of detail do i work out for the story, 2) What type of gear/skills/supplies would be the most helpful in a T2K word for the new "Morrow Project" to store/deliver?

Is less, the CEO time travels and know the world is coming to an end but how can a multional, billionaire sponsored company do in a few years to help rebuild the US , at home and abroad.

I would suggest that the "PRT Playbook" would be a good start. Google that and it'll provide some ideas for you

As for miltary skills, or MOS specialties, I would suggest looking at both "civil affairs" and PSYOPS. Your billionaire would be interested in people who can find out what 's happening and persuade others to help fix the problem

Beginner's Guide to Nation Building by the Rand Corporation is informative

Regarding "equipment"

The most useful gear might be mobile and high-powered radio transmitters and (of course) lots of receivers to give away to Survivors
