Through the Heart
If you run out of fuel in the Red Heart, it is polite to push your car off the road before you succumb to thirst and exposure, so that someone more prepared than you might make a clear crossing.  A setting about the red desert, brutality in the last days of civilization, and hoarding drops of hope. A setting originally assembled for an off-site game jam and reassembled for the Apocalypse Jam. (Picture is by John Robert McPherson, from Wikimedia Commons.)
