Idea for a Post-Apocalyptic Dungeon World game. And no not like Apocalypse World, more like Thundarr the Barbarian. But I have some ideas and wanted to know if there are some other people to contact who might have some first hand knowledge about Kickstarter.

Idea for a Post-Apocalyptic Dungeon World game.
I don’t know much about the backend or marketing side of the process and Kickstarter, but I have some solid ideas for taking DW and creating a science fantasy campaign setting and would love to get some help and advice.
Someone may already be doing something like that…

Well, his idea is more like Mad Max, mine was really more like Thundarr that has science fantasy and sorcery along with Gamma World technology and robots. And a fair dose of horror from Elder Gods.
I ran a short campaign like that. I started with Anomalous Subsurface Environment (only ended up using about three paragraphs as fronts), Planet Motherf***er, Grim World, and of course, Adventures on Dungeon Planet. I limited the playbooks to world-appropriate ones. Think Thundarr crossed with Zardoz and Deadwood.
I love this idea! What character concepts go with it?
that sounds cool. So yes, I’d love to see a whole campaign book dedicated to such a gonzo setting. Even if I had to get some folks to help me make it 🙂
My idea was, remember Stephen King’s the Mist, book or film? The military project unleashed some awful things and opened gates in the fog, and the ultimate “end” is nuclear armaments used to close the gates.
Also check out Carcosa if you really want to turn the gonzo meter to 11.
Dang, this is making me look at the Monstrous Heritage moves in CW and wanting to run with the idea. A Beast Playbook, anyone?
EDIT: Now look what you’ve made me do! https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwbHes6iNuGrYjlKdzlxQ2MtelU&authuser=0
Sounds like a blast! Questions I’d like answered:
What sort of races are running around? Humans, various mutants and robots springs to mind. I like the idea that all the various “races” can live together, maybe have relatives that different to yourself; such as a human with a psychic mutant brother etc.
How close are the Elder Things to the world? Are they like gods, or can they be found out there, either roaming as colossal alien beasts or even acting as inhuman kings.
Can I have a shotgun?
You can have a shotgun, yes.
For races, I would take cues from Gamma World and Thundarr. So even Oookla the Mok would just be a mutated lion.
The Elder Gods…to be determined, but i think there are many cults and wizards trying to constantly contact them
