Line 1: Line 1:
A long, long time ago, before you were born, the world wasn't such a bad place... you could make an honest living, have a family, enjoy life's simple pleasures.  Unfortunately, as the population grew out of control, the world's resources were stretched to the breaking point, at which point they broke.  Things collapsed pretty much overnight.  Eyes melted, skin exploded, everybody dead.  No one really remembers what exactly happened, but the world's population was reduced to a fraction of its former size in a very short period of time.  What emerged was an artificial society, repopulated by the surviving corporations with carefully crafted consumers who exist to create what the corps need most: marketshare.

HellMOO is a post-apocalyptic role-playing moo.  It is set at an unknown time after an atomic
conflict brought down the great civilizations of the 21st century.  Enough time has passed that
some towns and vestiges of society have returned..but not nearly enough to curb the inherent
violence and conflict of a life lived without comfort or salvation.  Corporations both ancient
and new sit astride the few surviving cities like obscene, glittering spiders, wielding their
power over their desert domains without question and without mercy.  The fake smile, the furtive
stare are the weapons of the city-dweller, forever dependent on their corporate masters for
protection against the raiders and radioactive sands.  Yet a few wander the wastes, living off
the bones of the old world and whatever justice they can find at the end of their gun.  Only time
will tell which is the stronger.
HellMOO is a place of extremes.  The first person you meet may be a caring street preacher, a
rad-crazed knife fighter, or a mutant disguised as a man.  It is up to you to decide which skills
and allies will see you safe to the promised land, wherever and whatever that may be.  But all
choices must be carefully made, as HellMOO does not forgive mistakes.
