Barbarians of the Aftermath takes the wonderful Barbarians of Lemuria system and gives you the tools to adapt it with ease to any sort of post-apocalyptic setting one could imagine, from gray goo to zombies to WWIII to aliens.
It adds post-apocalyptic careers, rules for guns and vehicles, how to deal with radiation and mutation, and much much more. Guns are handled just as simply as ranged weapons in BoL, vehicles are fun to make (just like characters!), radiation and mutation are handled on a scale of science-fantasy to hyper-realism to fit with any world, and anything else found in post-apocalyptic scenarios (psionics, "Old World" tech, etc.) can be found in this book.
Pros:
+Great art from different periods
+Cool random apocalypse table
+Lots and lots of inspiration for a post-apocalyptic campaign
Cons:
No major bad points!
Bottom Line: If you like the BoL system, get this game! If you like post-apocalyptic RPGs, get this game! If you want some modern rules for BoL, get this game! If you want some post-apocalyptic inspiration, get this game!
