The Wastelands: A Divided States of America RPG Supplement

From the Nomadic Delirium Press Blog:

The Wastelands are an area that used to be the heartland of America, but now in The Divided States of America, they’re an area of barbarism and banditry. Most of the governments have fallen, and now cities are ruled by gangs, and the rural areas are terrorized by brigands trying to steal what little the people have left.

The Wastelands is a supplement for The Divided States of America RPG that gives players and game masters some ideas of what they might do with this tumultuous area. This isn’t an area of political intrigue like the surviving nation-states would be. No, this is a land of conflict and danger.

Take your players into The Wastelands, and you’ll have to hope that they’re able to survive…

Delirious Dice Issue 1

From the Nomadic Delirium Press Blog:

Welcome to the first issue of Delirious Dice. This zine will be published biannually by Nomadic Delirium Press, and it will feature information for our four games: Ephemeris 2.0, The Divided States of America, Rocks on the Other Side, and The Battle for Turtle Island.

Each issue will feature a variety of things. You might find new weapons, skills, creatures, sub-classes, or anything else that might add to your current game play. We might even publish some short adventures or even some fiction. It will all depend on what we come up with. You might even get sneak peaks of some of the titles we’re working on. At the end of the zine, you’ll find guidelines in case you might be interested in submitting ideas or articles for future issues.

This zine will be divided into sections based on each game, and in some issues, one game might have a lot more material than another, but there will always be information that can be used in each of the games.

Bestseller for April 2025

Maybe I should just keep cutting and pasting these posts. The bestseller for April was The Divided States of America RPG once again.

No one can say with any reasonable certainty when the United States of America began to fall apart. Many point to the presidential election of 2016, but most believe the breakup started long before this. Now, in the year 2110, the former United States is made up of fourteen nation-states and The Wastelands. Some of the nation-states have prospered under self-rule, while others have declined. Some nation-states are very accepting of outsiders, while others trust no one…sometimes not even their fellow citizens. There is chaos in some places, and order in others…sometimes too much order.

The first state to break away from the USA was, not unexpectedly, Texas, and from there, things continued to spiral out of control as the national government tried to hold on to control that the state governments wanted back, and eventually, the federal government was no longer able to control the states, and the break-up came about.

Some of the nation-states kept the name “America” in their new names. Some did this as a tribute to where they had come from, while others did it to remind their citizens of what they were breaking away from. Others adopted new names, or took on names that were given to them.

Borders in some areas are heavily patrolled, even walled in places, while other borders have no protection at all…mostly it depends on the views of the new government and its citizens, even though sometimes those two groups still don’t agree. Let’s face it, greed and independence are bred into the human race, and even allying with others that have similar viewpoints does not necessarily mean that they will always get along.

As a game, players create characters with seven attributes that are used to enhance a variety of skills. As the characters advance, they gain experience, which can be put towards their skills, their health, or banked to allow the player to raise their character’s attributes.

The last $1 e-book...for now...

From the Nomadic Delirium Press Blog:

Our last $1 e-book…for now is The Divided States of America Vol. 1 available at https://books2read.com/b/bPw87Y

No one can say with any reasonable certainty when the United States of America began to fall apart. Many point to the presidential election of 2016, but most believe the breakup started long before this. Now, in the year 2110, the former United States is made up of 14 nation-states and The Wastelands. Some of the nation-states have prospered under self-rule, while others have declined. Some nation-states are very accepting of outsiders, while others trust no one…sometimes not even their fellow citizens. There is chaos in some places, and order in others…sometimes too much order.

 

Bestseller for March 2025

Once again The Divided States of America Role Playing Game was my top selling title. March was a lean month for sales. Obviously people are starting to worry about the economy, and books are one of the first things people stop buying.

Can the game be the top seller for April?

A Divided States of America collection

No one can say with any reasonable certainty when the United States of America began to fall apart. Many point to the presidential election of 2016, but most believe the breakup started long before this. Now, in the year 2110, the former United States is made up of 13 nation-states and The Wastelands. Some of the nation-states have prospered under self-rule, while others have declined. Some nation-states are very accepting of outsiders, while others trust no one…sometimes not even their fellow citizens. There is chaos in some places, and order in others…sometimes too much order.
This was the theme created by Nomadic Delirium Press editor J Alan Erwine. With these ideas in mind, many authors have contributed to this concept, including Erwine, and now for the first time, all of the stories he’s written for The Divided States of America (so far) are gathered together in one collection.

So this will be happening next month
