Fanbook: time to vote on the topic of the book!

[Fubarius]

I combined and condensed a few of the ideas together, so don't be upset if your exact idea isn't listed if it was similar to another. We'll keep count until Tuesday or Wednesday (an extra day or two since I'm late in posting the poll, sorry about that).

I'm also suggesting everyone who wants to start a topic about the book we're writting to put "Fanbook:" at the front of the subject.

As a friendly reminder for those who live under the rocks you can see the discussion leading up to this poll in the post titled "So Lets Write a Book"

I voted for [edit]Plains of[/edit] Free Cattle. There's no shortage of ideas there. I think "Mutants at Sea" is a good idea, too, but i'm just not crazy about a large amount of intelligent fish.

I guess in my own view of things, octopi are about the "least complex" creatures capable of moving up to "human" intelligence (barring special circumstances, e.g. living on mars).

Plains of Free Cattle. Give it the name it deserves.

No offense intended!

for referance, i tracked down every summary bit i could from the main thread.

Mutants of the Sprawl: a sourcebook for running campaings set whithin the a huge destroyed city, with rules for fighting among the destroyed buildings, where a mutant/human alliance are trying to save what they can of their city while being attacked by various gangs of roving mutants.

Mutants of War: salvagers accidentaly unleash upon the world a whole army of especially engineered combat mutants, who immediatly begin creating their own kingdom, wagging war on its neighbors.

After the Bomb: World Tour: This book would detail other parts of the world (excluding Yucatan, Avalon, Australia and Road Hogs; those would be updated and condensed into the After the Bomb Sourcebook), including mutant/humans relations, new animals types, relations in other parts of the world as well as equipment, experimentation, and some horrific byproducts left behind during the Great Crash.

Mutants of the Serengeti: This book details how mutant heirarchy exists in the Serengeti, and how the species interrelate. It would be a large sourcebook, part adventure part animal dynamics and would have a theme of how predators and prey would co-exist with human-like emotions and perceptions. In my vision, there would be almost no humans at all in the Serengeti, and those that are there are definitely not the dominant species.

Mutants of the Far Future: This book takes a look at animals that will evolve in the subsequent millions of years from now when the mutations stop and mankind goes extinct.

Mutants at Sea: Essentially using the seas as a sourcebook. Underwater colonies long abandoned by man, but now filled (perhaps too full) with their mutant legacy. Islands, natural and man made (look at Dubai for instance) not to mention coastal cities now flooded/semi flooded.
Mutant fish species, and the amphibious mutants as well as sea mammals. Monsters of the deep (man made, mutant or other)

Mutants of the Midwest: Free Plains
This would cover the 'lost' info about the Plains of Free Cattle, The Prairie Dog Imperium, the human tribes still living in semi-harmony with them (I would gladly contribute an idea to this), & the status of whatevers left there (some partially-intact urban areas, infrastructure, the Mid-West Americorp, ect.)

Road Hogs II: The Revenge
Reprints/updates everything from the first Road Hogs, plus more on vehicles. Some towns have salvaged & gotten some of the old aircraft museum pieces (WW2 through VietNam Era planes & helicopters)functioning into a noteworthy airforce.


After the Bomb World Tour
Yucatan: Reprint & Update
Central & South America: Yes
Asia 1: Yes, combines/updates info on India & Asia Major
Asia 2: Yes, combines info on Japan, Australia (Australasia?) & Micronesia
Africa: YES!
Europe: Mutants of Avalon, updated.
The Poles: Expands on hints given in AtB2.

Well, i guess it's settled, right? Plains of the Free Cattle it is!
