I was thinking about Gamma World today and had this idea.
1. The Apocalypse has happened and the world as we know it has ended
2. However, the governments of several major world powers have survived in their bunkers and still posses some small manufacturing capacity, stockpiles of many things, records on how to make everything and a fair amount of military might by finding room for soldiers, their immediate families and military hardware. These powers are still jockeying for advantage against one another and are trying to remain hidden and their existence hidden to each other.
3. As a result of radiation, chemicals, biological weapons and there are mutants have been spawned every where; however, there are some surviving genetically uncorrupted human still surviving in pockets here and there outside the bunkers.
4. We are picking up the action 120 years after the Apocalypse.
5. Aliens show up and ignore the surface survivors, but contact each of the remaining powers as they cannot hide from the Aliens and the Aliens not understanding or perhaps understanding too well, "accidentally" reveal all the powers to each other. The Aliens are in a Galactic War with another Alien Species and are looking for allies, they are offering help cleaning up the planet, taking the mutants forcanon fodder err soldiers and advanced tech. They also want Earth to be able to ramp up manufacturing and became a military supplier for them. Each power has someone that figures out the Aliens are currently losing and thinks it is risky to join them. However, one or more of the powers secretly makes an alliance with the Aliens and in the process hope to outflank all of their opponents.
6. Surface humans learn about this (and other things) by hearing talk as they see teams taking mutants, although sometimes the mutants take the teams.
So that is the setup.
Here are the questions:
Suggestions and comments relative to the above?
Who are each of the world powers and how many of them are there?
How many of them make the secret deals, all or only one or maybe more, and, if so, which ones?
How many factions are there and what are they about and what are they named?
Do the surface humans have any hidden aces in the hole?
How about the mutants, do they have a good leader that will arise and do they have any hidden aces in the hole?
Does this other Alien species find Earth and, if so, what do that do and how does it affect all of the above?
What pros and cons do the mutants have as mutations?
