This game was based on the Generic Universe Role Playing System by Steve Jackson Games(?). The first of a series, this one will be set in the near post-apocalyptic future. The producer made reference to it being Wasteland like, and it _is_ from Interplay... ah, we can only hope. It will be from a top down perspective.

Contractual disputes between Interplay and Steve Jackson Games have cause the GURPS license to be dropped from this game. Instead, it will utilize a home grown system named SPECIAL for Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck.
