This Is Not a Test: Swamp Town

So one of the favorite games right now is "This Is Not a Test" Post-Apocalyptic Skirmish Rules.

They are great. Mutant charts are the best I have seen, the system is quick and simple.  Most of the group I play with picked it up in 2 turns.  Great game.

The above picture is the Mutant town, in the swamp section of the home-grown campaign in Flatbush.  The setting is after your grandfather's grandfather's time.  The swamp set-up is a mat with a yucky river running through it and spots to add "ponds" for various denizens of the Swamp Town.

The various parts are 30 years in the making.  The building in the foreground is a birdhouse from Michael's I got 30 years ago, the forest cloth is 10-15 years old from Geo-Hex, the Mutant tree stand I made up from $1 store parts this last winter.  The aquarium tree is a thrift store find for less than $5; I put some clumsy platforms on the piece for the game.  The regular lines next to the tree are one of the industries of the town, wine-making; the more ragged lines beyond the river line are the other industry, opium.  As a pharmaceutical, all the junkies died off long time ago.

One of these days I'll post some of the players/figures used in the game.
