Summary: In the year 2150, the world was wrecked by a nuclear holocaust of horrifying proportions. The advanced civilizations of Earth burned on that day, drowning in fire and ash. What was once known as the United States of America became known as the Wastes, irradiated hell-scapes and wastelands that are a dying husk of what the they used to be. Despite the pre-war civilizations' collapse, however, humanity didn't die out. Instead, man struggled and fought for survival, eventually creating a new civilization over the course of several centuries. During the time between the bombs and the re-built civilization, scavengers, mutants, raiders, warlords, and vagabonds dwelt and struggled to survive. They have their own stories to tell. "Nostalgia" is but one of them.
