Scorched Earth

By Nohwear, in Genesys

I am working on a post apocalyptic campaign called Scorched Earth. The apocalypse is caused by mysterious fires that can almost seem intelligent. The more people concentrate in an area, the more likely that these fires start. I also like the idea of a zombie analog called the scorched. They are basically created by the fires, but I am debating if they are reanimates who were killed by it, or survivors who go mad. The world was a cyberpunk setting before the fires came. I would appreciate feed back and suggestions on what to mine for ideas for inspiration, descriptions, and game mechanics. Thank you in advance.
