Let's Talk Setting.

      Post zombie apocalypse. Zombies will replace the giant rats and goblins as newb fodder. They are just a fact of life by this point and the real story is the struggle against other humans, mutation, and ideals that do not coincide with your own.
     The magic of mythology and theology has crept back into existence as the radio waves, cell towers, and electrical interference have long since abated. This of course does not stop those who wish to seek and salvage old world tech. Guns can coexist with magic and tech is a skill tree among the magics. Inspired by the Cargo Cults of Melanesia, tech is at times worshiped.
      Tech is often a point of confrontation as it is seen as the herald of destruction. Many people blame tech from the destruction of the old world and the zombies. Sects of Luddites determined to rid the world on tech once and for all scour for it's use. 

        There is no good and evil in the world, just sides and decisions. Though that does not prevent some sides from being less desirable. Such as the Ontologists, an interesting mix of simulation theory and science fiction religions. They subscribe to the idea zombies are place holders that prevent your consciousness from being recycled into the simulation and therefore must be spared and propagated.
