RAD provides an alternate history where at some point in the mid-eighties, the world was annihilated in nuclear hellfire. Eventally, survivors managed to scrape together enough remnants of civilization to start rebuilding society. Culture froze in the wake of the apocalypse, and punk, acid-washed clothing and neon colors have been the height of fashion ever since the bombs fell. Over the following centuries, a group of restoration-minded survivors known as “Menders” managed to construct a vast underground network of machines intended to purify the air and purge the radioactive toxins that had soaked into the environment.
Then the world all blew up again. Sometimes you just can’t catch a break.
