Description
From the introduction:
The Cave of Life is a complete adventure setting for the post-holocaust role-playing game, Darwin’s World. The adventure is set in the abandoned remains of an old missile silo, ostensibly somewhere along the fringes of the Grass Plains region, or somewhat further north, perhaps in the Forbidden Lands - though the game master (GM) may certainly set it anywhere that is more convenient to his current campaign.
