The world ended years ago. A series of severe natural disasters, combined with a global pandemic, lead to horrendous loss of life and drastic shortages of essential goods. While communities descended into rioting, looting and hoarding - nations warred with nations over dwindling resources. Chemical weapons became common. And rumor has it some of the new diseases that cropped up in the aftermath were biological weapons unleashed in the last throes of war. Nations crumbled under the pressure. Now, a few decades later, small survivor settlements have formed. Trade between these settlements is beginning to thrive. Outside these settlements are many threats: disease, patches of chemical contamination (from both failing industrial plants and weapon residue), feral animals, bandits, raiders and even cannibals. You and your family belonged to a merchant caravan moving trade goods between settlements. On this most recent trip, you ran into bandits that slaughtered everyone in the caravan.
