Sundered Earth was one of the first names that came to mind when I was brainstorming ideas for a name for my multigenre post-apocalyptic campaign setting, but the planet wasn't really broken or split apart so "sundered" was more or less a misnomer. After jotting down a bunch of those ideas and consulting both a thesaurus and a dictionary, I finally settled on Spectrum Shock. Using the most common definitions for these words doesn't seem to make sense, but with an eye for less-often-used meanings, one can see their relevance to a multigenre post-apocalyptic setting.
Quite appropriate after all, in my humble opinion.
- Spectrum: a broad sequence or range of related qualities, ideas, or activities
- Shock: a violent collision or impact
Quite appropriate after all, in my humble opinion.
