Deadman

Even after the bombs fell and lawlessness became the norm, people still expect their mail. As a deadman, the narrator is uniquely suited to deliver it — radiation does not bother him, and those who try to hurt him wind up dead. In the middle of his route, he has come upon a new job, and maybe the opportunity to start thriving instead of merely surviving.

The remnants of the old government have arrived in the wastes — and with them, a whole new slew of problems. They have started a war of conquest, lost a fellow Marshall, and turned an already dangerous wasteland into a powder keg. Now they want the narrator to cross the Cut — the most dangerous stretch of irradiated territory in the wastes — to investigate why the Rebuild America System is not fully active. He has mutants to cut, cultists to shoot, and mysteries to solve. To most this would be a death sentence. To him, it sounds like job security.

The narrator made it back across the Cut — but things changed while he was away. He has brought with him a system update that spreads like a virus, introducing a new political layer to the Rebuild America System: a presidential election whose winner gains power to adjust the system itself. The war between the Horde and the Remnants grows fiercer every day. His community, Pott's Field, is caught in the middle. Neutrality is getting harder, and war in earnest is only a matter of time.
