I know @DreamsnThings was hoping for Monsterhearts, Masks or Monster of the Week but I have no inspiration for Monster of the Week - I have literally never seen a single episode of Supernatural, Super heroes fucking confound me - I can give you great fight scenes but why the hell anyone is there I cannot ever come up with. "Random bad guy shows up and starts breaking shit" is my eternal answer to superheroes. Monsterhearts is teen drama - that doesn't work well here any more and the last game fizzled spectacularly - largely on my watch.

im just hoping for the umbrella of powered by the apocalypse, those three i know the best but i was not hoping for them per say... that said without any additonal context neon city blues sounds like a fun synthwave styled thing along the lines of hotline Miami which could be great
apocalypse world I would also be fine playing... i just have had mixed success playing in specifically apocalypse styled rpgs on EDs
ill try anything once though, which includes the other systems not mentioned

We'll get a game Powered by the Apocalypse or something related going, we just need to figure out what.

I like Apocalypse World - it's very flexible on what the setting is. It just the ruins of a world before - it presumes cars and guns, but those could be recast as almost anything else.

What went wrong with your AW games, @DreamsnThings?

Just remember, folks, lean into your sex moves... but here you don't have to hide them behind veils.

Another thought: Scum and Villainy? Again, it's Forged in the Dark rather than PbtA and I'll have to do some studying, but it's a possibility too.

It wasn't apocalypse world specifically, i just have had a bad track record with the apocalypse setting

It tended to boil down on what everyone wanted in that kind of setting tended to be... very varied in odd ways... which depending on expectations can be... bleh...

What would you want in a post-apocalyptic setting? What would you like to avoid?

Actually, let's refine that a bit. What are the hard "No!" things and the "Must Haves"?

Still have not had a chance to look into it enough to give a real vote/suggestions (but might over the next few days, being off today).  Whether or not I get a chance to read the material soon enough and want to join in, might help give me more ideas for my kinda apocalypse/horror mix RP club.
