100 Post-Apocalyptic Settlements — PDF Edition

One hundred settlements. Five stages of survival. A wealth of material for the world after the end.

Destroying civilisation is easy.

Working out what people build among the ruins is harder.

100 Post-Apocalyptic Settlements provides one hundred individual settlements for use with most post-apocalyptic roleplaying games, from atomic aftermaths to zombie outbreaks.

Each settlement is presented as a concise, one-page brief, giving Games Masters a substantial collection of locations and ideas for building their own ruined worlds.

Follow Each Settlement Through the Disaster

Every entry examines the same location at five different stages:

• Before the disaster — what the settlement was like while the old world still existed.

• During the disaster — what happened there as civilisation collapsed.

• In the immediate aftermath — how the location and its survivors responded.

• As an established settlement — what the community became once it began to stabilise.

• After a decade — how the settlement developed over the longer term.

This structure provides more than a snapshot of a post-apocalyptic community. It follows each settlement through collapse, survival and reconstruction.

Choose the Point in the Timeline

The same settlement can be used at different stages of a campaign.

Visit it while the catastrophe is still unfolding.

Reach it during the uncertain aftermath.

Encounter it once it has become established.

Return years later to see what it has become.

The five-stage format allows Games Masters to select the period that best suits their campaign or use the material to show a location changing over time.

For Different Kinds of Apocalypse

100 Post-Apocalyptic Settlements is designed for use with most post-apocalyptic roleplaying games.

The settlements can be selected and adapted to suit the nature of your disaster, including atomic devastation or zombie outbreak scenarios.

Use the book when you need:

• A settlement for the next session.

• A community of survivors.

• A destination or refuge.

• A location with an established history.

• Inspiration for an entire post-apocalyptic setting.

• A ready answer when the players travel somewhere you had not prepared.
