Post-apocalyptic Pen and Paper

I've been wanting to play a post-apocalyptic campagain for a while and been wondering what system would be best.

The first system I thought about is the d20 system since I've been playing Dungeons and Dragons for years now. Especially now that d20 Apocalypse was released not too long ago(it can be good for the material, not only the rules, so I'll buy it).

Another system would be GURPS, it seems like a very good system after reading the Lite version of the rules. There is also a post-apocalyptic setting, Autoduel, which is Mad Max-like in some points.

Most of you surely know about the Fallout PnP, I've thought about it, but it doesn't seem like a good choice, considering the fact that I'm still a Fallout newbie and that I don't know any people who heard the name "Fallout" from anyone else than me. There will also be(obviously) no new material for it...

There is also a good website where there are other examples of PA PnP, you should check it out.

Any experiences on roleplaying PA campaigns? Any tips for a campaign? the system to use?

Thanks in advance!

Pen and Paper games are just so dumb. Go get some video games or atleast Larp since that sounds more fun than jacking off to the dice.

After the messy parodies on SA, I've been itching for some dice.

I was awaiting an answer like this... Any SERIOUS answer? If you don't like PnP, SHUT UP! I want serious answers...

I like PnP from time to time because it's social, don't tell me that talking on Skype is social... Please no arguing about this, start a new thread if you want, answer my first post for god's sake, if you can!

St. Toxic, a good way to start would be a post-apocalyptic campaign!

Check some of the websites to see if you're really interested.

I hate people who use their X-Fire profiles in their signatures. I'm going to have to fuck your dog now.

I don't have what it takes to start out on my own. I'll wait for some dice-master to drop out of thin air and further educate me.

Wise. Geno is clearly attempting to exploit your enthusiasm. Comparatively writing.
