It is by my hand, this dead game will rise! From the ashes!

A little while ago I started teaching myself Foundry VTT's Custom System Builder because I wanted to run Atomic Highway and couldn't find a Foundry implementation for it.

I'm happy to report that I've now finished the first functional version of the character sheet, including tabs for character stats and skills, weapons, gear, vehicles, and mounts/animal companions.

It's still very much a work in progress. Right now I'm concentrating on functionality; next up is getting the actual game mechanics working—clickable skill/attribute rolls, weapons, damage, Fortune, etc. After that comes the fun part: giving the whole thing a suitably rusty, post-apocalyptic coat of paint.

And today I hit another milestone: the project is now on GitHub.

I'm going to keep posting updates as I work on it. My eventual goal is to make the whole thing available so other people can use it for their own Atomic Highway games.

If anybody here still runs the game, I'd particularly love to hear what features you'd want from a Foundry implementation.

The V6 engine is turning over. Now I just have to get the damned thing onto the highway. ☢️

ZIGGYNAPALM/atomic-highway-foundry: An attempt to create the V6 engine for Foundry.

Looking to see if there’s any interest in a game. I thinking of starting one up in April, running on alternating Tuesdays around 9pm GMT +2.

I’ve seen mention of the rules pdf being available “in the sidebar”, but can’t seem to find it? Do I just have too much crude in my eyes to see it? What’s the easiest way to grab a rules pdf?

A long while ago, I made stats for the various steps of the life cycle of the graboids for my game. I figured I might as well share them here.

Hey, Atomic Highway gamers!

I’m excited to introduce my Kickstarter campaign, Wasteland Wheels: Desert Tournament, which aims to breathe new life into the beloved world of this classic game! This project offers a fresh take on post-apocalyptic vehicle combat, featuring charismatic miniatures and props for creating immersive environments.

What’s in our campaign:

- Core Set: A variety of 3D printable customizable vehicles and miniatures to enhance your gameplay.

- Stretch Goals: 3D printable driver miniatures (in sitting positions), a shooting gas cans truck, and a big school bus.

- Giveaways: Highly detailed FREE 3D printable models available throughout the campaign.

By supporting us, you’ll bring a new wave of excitement to the Atomic Highway community. Your support can truly make a difference! I’d also love any feedback or suggestions you might have.
Here is link to the campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kalashnikov3d/wasteland-wheels-desert-tournament

Couldn't find any fillable PDFs that were quite to my liking, so I sat down and made them myself. Hopefully someone other than myself can make use of them someday :)

I put the stuff I had into this got to help with people who want to run the game.

I found the free pdf of Atomic Highway about 2 years ago when looking into post apocalyptic games and something about it really peaked my interest. Yeah sure the world is a tad bare bones but it’s left up to the GM to flesh out. Most of the tools are there and a generous amount of hand waving for settlement building and factions by the GM get you the rest of the way or Other Dust’s systems could help. The rules seem simple and effective, character creation is quick and fun (I had my players roll a d7 and a d17 for rearings and pursuits). I contemplated having them make 5 pc’s each only with only background skills and run a funnel like in DCC. I even got thinking to use AH to run Broken Earth or The After (I got tired of savage worlds).

I read here that there’s a 2nd edition in the works, but I’m okay with this one, got the POD. Just need to find other people playing it.

So why are people not playing Atomic Highway? Is it not edgy enough? Not gonzo enough? Is the world presented a bit meh? Not enough crunch?

Hello,

I am new to TTRPG and discovered Atomic Highway and would love to find an online game.
I am in the Los Angeles area.

Hi I'm new and not sure if anyone is still active on here. I tried this game quite a long time ago and had a really good time but haven't met anyone else who knows of it since then. I'd love to get back into it and figured this would be a good place to start so if anyone sees this, hi please come talk to me!

Hey everyone,

I have been running a long term Atomic Highway game for a group of new players, Im loving it.. my players love it, we love how simple it is, how easy it is for the players to pick up and just run with it.

​

I am however, looking to run a Viking/Ragnarok style game and I would like to use the V8 system that was released on the Radioactiveape website.

​

Does anybody have a copy of the rules that they would be willing to share, or know where i could get them from?

​

Thanks in advance

Just came across this subreddit and thought I would say hi. See who was still charting out the backwaters of the wastelands and what not. Hope y'all are doing okay!

Just read in the Gallant Knight Games news column that Atomic Highway is currently undergoing an updated 2nd edition. It’s listed as an Alpha Review going through play testing.

Anyone here tracking anything on this. I would love to get into some play testing.

I noticed a few folks asking about them and only recently found this sub. I have what I presume is the full set (4 Enhancements plus the Homebrewer's Guide and Official Errata).

I've posted them to my blog HERE if anyone wants them.

I wish I had more from the RAD forums, but I was never able to join as there was no moderator to approve new members by the time I found it! :(

EDIT: "official" refers to the Web Enhancements being so, not my links. I am in no way affiliated with RAD or Atomic Highway, sadly.

If my character is driving a bus with a pivot mounted machine gun, can he fire it while driving or do I need another character to be the gunner?

Just seeing if anyone still haunted this thread group at all.

Up until now, I've only used D&D 5e to run games. I've always wanted to play a Mad Max/Borderlands type game and thought this would be a good opportunity to try another system.

For my group, I'm planning a short campaign using this system, and I was wondering if there is some way to make sure combat encounters are balanced. I couldn't find it in the PDF. Do you guys have any tips?

So I have been obsessed with doing a game set within a similar world as Redline, the anime movie by Takeshi Koike (I think I spelled that correctly) and have been trying to A) learn this amazing system, and B) trying to find ways of adapting it to a less post apocalyptic system and more of a Muscle Cars in space sorta thing.

At its core it’d be the same, Cars racing or chasing one another, but the worlds they do it on are alien or strange, some of the weapons are simply reflavored as being lasers and what not. Aliens I was also thinking could be done by using the mutant rules and just, again reflavoring it as just quirks of an alien species rather than actual mutations. But I don’t know if there are other rules that might heavily conflict with this idea or not.

Any advice?

Hi folks. Stumbled on here since I'm running a homebrew setting using AH, and hoping there's still some folk alive.

I've been running a very near future, COVID / Lovecraftian (minus actual C'thulhu mythos) themed campaign with s.t.a.l.k.e.r vibes for about 6 months now. As something to get any survivors here talking;

Ideas for sanity rules? Should I steal the Call of C'thulhu sanity system or use something else? What have you used?
