Ideas for EPA: M&M Thread

This isn't an age of genetic engineering like EPA Zero, its all about random mutations and a mutation that intense would have a lot of side effects.

This version of EPA hasn't had as much time since the Apocalypse, so travel over long distances would still be a hazardous affair. Not least because non-locals wouldn't know where all the radiation spots are, where clean water is, local bandit gangs, etc., as well as local powers and customs.

No, nothing like the leader of a conspiracy. I'm taking a nod from a character from a 1950's b-movie Teenage Caveman; the "giant" that does the voice over that the end. He turned out to be a centuries old survivor of the holocaust that destroyed the world. I'm also thinking of some one along the lines of the Wandering Jew. He had some one in a billion twist in his DNA that interacted with the radiation that extended his life. He can still be killed by misadventure, and if his system gets too much radiaton, but he seems to shake off diseases plus he just doesn't get any older.

Reminds me quite a bit of the immortals in the Horseclans books.

I'm also thinking along the lines of Alexander Corvinius.

Where does this currently stand? Same with Ran's project?

I don't currently have the time or enthusiasm to run it. The options as I see 'em are that someone else take up the reins and moderate things, or we let it lie fallow until I sort out my job/life situation and can take it up again.

[Matt]

I'll take the reins then if folks don't mind.

Sure, go for it.

[Matt]

Okay doke. I'm going to drill this weekend, but I'll launch myself into this real good when I get back on Monday.

I'd just like to say that I'm glad to see that there's still life in this side of the project.

Technically, my project is still ongoing.

However, Haggis, Gulag and me all have university and similar RL obligations to worry about, and I still have a few shiney little non-EPA ideas to get out of my system as well.

Nonetheless, I do aim to have some new content sorted out and posted before the end of this month.

And of course, my side of the project is still open to suggestions and new contributors.

I have lots of material to expand the details on my nations for EPA & Haggis and I have talked about a great deal of trans-atlantic relations and trade, so hopefully that will be put up in the near future.

I'm conjuring up some ideas, but before I plow through the respective threads are we absolutely certain that we want to divide our efforts?

What do you have in mind?
