Heh..its the larger then life quality of AD&D. I loved the many
worlds of it as well. Cities, Dungeons, etc. Shadowrun can do
that as well, but you need a good GM, since alot of the Wilderness
hasn't been fleshed out. Try a campaign, based in CalFree, it should
have a more "Mad Max" feel to it. I tried for a few runs, to base
stuff in the Tir, but that was rough. You have to have good players
and a GM willignly to go the distance. (I guess this applies to
most systems) AD&D just makes it easy because there is so much
source material.
P.S. I didn't say I killed the dragon. Just pissed him off.

Time is the best teacher. Unfortunately it kills all of its students.
