You do realize that this describes the vast majority of rpgs out there, no? Lines like this give the "We're not D&D!" vibe that is the downfall of so many frpgs.

How many generations has it been since the Night of Fire? I got the impression from the review that it was "a while ago," long enough for the Empire to rise and become stable.

Maybe it was a shortcoming of the review (and the lack of space to do the setting justice), but I caught none of the post-apocalyptic feel or tone of the setting. It seemed pretty standard frpg fair to me.
