I have been looking into the AGE system more and more recently and then I saw something that caught my eye. Arkroydisesel AGE. What at first, I thought to be a Dieselpunk setting for AGE.
Sadly, it turned out that in my haste Akroydisel is not part of the AGE system. On the bright side, there are over 300 pages of information to mine for ideas in this product.

The Akroydiesel Age is a dieselpunk setting which hearkens back to the society and style of 1930s America. With an anachronistic set of technologies futuristic and old-fashioned, AdA is a world littered with loot, mutants, and monsters without forsaking sophisticated societies. This book covers the Eastern Free States (E.F.S.), the government of what was the United States’ East Coast.
It has been an eon since unified human civilization was shattered by an engineered catastrophe that nearly destroyed humanity. Civilization’s resurgence over the past century and a half stand in stark opposition to the lands still wallowing in the scars of the Lost Age. The discord sown by clashes between newly risen nation-states means the land must flow with blood and oil.
