Idea's for a post-apocalyptic table top game

[FoxVI]

I was looking around the website here when I found an explanation of alignments for Mad Max; raider, settler, drifter. Well I thought; What if you could make a game like dungeons and Dragons with classes from every wasteland idea out there. You could have a class like Ken from fist of the north star; the brawler type, Samurai like from six string samurai, alien weapon experts, etc.

What I want is for you people to help me come up with some more mechanics,classes,stories,or even characters for this. I want to see what you guys can come up with.

Thanks in advance.

Or you could play Car Wars, a car combat based tabletop RPG set in a world where oil is scarce. Filled with massive customisation options for your vehicles and lot's of room for generating missions. You can just play quick deathrace games or have an overarching story based around maybe being raiders, police, convoys and so forth. If the above text hasn't sold you on playing that, I don't know what will, but it's awesome.

A mad max tabletop rpg would rock, you could have a mechanic, doctor, animal trainer etc.

Either of the World of Darkness systems could be used to simulate a grimy setting like that with little more than a half-hour's modification. Just replace any game-specific talent or ability and rebalance starting points as needed.

Worked very well for an impromptu Silent Hill game; in less than ten minutes I converted VtM to SHtOh-My-God-We-Are-SCREWED!

I guess I should explain my idea a bit more. You see, im an anime guy, so I like things over the top, that's why I put fist of the north star up there. Im thinking (and this will be hard to balance) a world where martial artists could go toe to toe with gunman, that's why I asked for help, Because there's alot you can come up with. Even putting the game aside, I still want to know what you guys can come up with in terms of over the top action.
