Ok /tg/ how would you design a post apocalyptic setting and what

Im Thinking of starting my players off as slaves in a frontier town or laborers in a prison.
as slaves they will be bought and during transport a raid will leave them with freedom and some guns
as prisoners they will have more time to grow and train as they must in order to escape so there's that as well

I'd been thinking of running a Fallout game for a long while, and I figured I would run it with GURPS. Just the Basic Set and After the End supplement in heavy use. The supplement handy because it offers tips for streamlining combat so it's not a rollplaying game or a tactician simulator, as well as gives a more gamey set of rules for handling radiation, dealing with scavenging, hunting, and gathering, etc. It also has a bunch of templates so that making a campaign-relevant character is easy (because missing the Survival skill is pretty shitty).

I've thought about sprinkling some of the rules from Social Engineering, a book focused on rules for social encounters, seeing as Fallout is focused on that sort of thing. However that would be up to my player's actions: they could all want to play mercs for all I know.

The players will start in Arizona and the game will take place four years after Fallout New Vegas under the assumption that the NCR has taken control over the Hoover Dam and have continued to beat down the Legion into Arizona and beyond. I already have a map of the area the players will be in, some settlements jotted down and an idea of what the players will do for their first adventure. I just need fine details where they matter.

If you are playing in person, at a table with friends, I strongly recommend doing yourselves. Set it in your town, or a nearby city that you all know.

>Bring out actual maps, draw on them
>Count supplies, make it worthwhile
>Use yourselves as characters
>You shoot guns? So does your character
>You have some useless skills? So does your character

It makes it real, engaging and engrossing and above all believable. Which is what you hope for in a post-apoc game. Depending on the system you use you grow, somewhat organically in characters you hope to be.

Post-post-apoc is like post-modern art, nobody likes it and . They only like it because it is more recent and they can exploit people around them.

You might want to check out 'Mutant: Year Zero' for the simplicity of the mechanics even if you don't use the provided background and campaign.
