Guest Author’s Note: I love post-apocalyptic settings. You have to conserve resources, think on your feet, and every abandoned building becomes a potential multi-story dungeon full of wonderful loot. Who doesn’t love loot? I think the best part of gaining those riches is the effort you had to invest for it, whether it involved an intricate puzzle or a real nail-biting boss encounter. What’s the most interesting effort you’ve had to put forth to get a hold of the treasure?

Manco Correro: Again, que?
