In "Nine Raider Apocalypse World," the world has been plunged into a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where nine powerful raider groups dominate the land. Each group has its own unique culture, tactics, and goals, making them distinct from one another. The wasteland is dotted with ruined cities, toxic wastelands, and dangerous mutant creatures, and resources are scarce.
The raider groups each have their own stronghold, where they store their loot, train their warriors, and plan their raids. They also control the few remaining trade routes that connect the strongholds and surviving settlements, extracting tribute from merchants and travelers that pass through.
The wasteland is also home to scavengers, who scavenge for food, water, and salvageable materials. Surviving settlements try to eke out a living amidst the chaos, but are vulnerable to raider attacks and may have to rely on diplomacy, trade, or alliances to survive.
The mutants that inhabit the wasteland range from harmless creatures to deadly predators, posing a threat to both the raider groups and the survivors. The artifacts of the pre-apocalyptic world are also highly sought after by the raider groups, providing a strategic advantage in their struggles for dominance.
As the players navigate this dangerous world, they must choose which raider group to align themselves with, or forge their own path as independent operators. The cause of the apocalypse is left ambiguous, but the world has been drastically changed, giving rise to the Nine Raider Apocalypse World.
