We Roleplayed the End of the World with 4000 Other People

Deadline here! We’d be glad to have Muckraker on permanently at The Wastelander. Too many of our reporters wander blithely into war zones for the sake of a few bottle caps. Ipso facto, we need more reporters willing to do so.

"Deadline" is such a fantastic name for a wasteland newspaper seller that I'm genuinely shocked I haven't seen it until now

Hey, Smiles from the Faceless Merchants here! You didn't actually cheat by forging a signature (well, technically you did); there's supposed to be a sign out front of the camps we send you to if they're not available for trading, so you're (kinda) good! Give your self back a morality point Carrion! And yeah, the whole point of the merchant quest is to help newcomers get involved with the Wasteland experience! I'm real happy it worked so well for you! I hope to see you both next year! P.S. There is a system for the trade route, but getting Wastelanders to do anything more complicated than drink and yell is like herding cats.

The sheer amount of attendees who have commented have moved me to actual tears. It's such a beautiful and welcoming community out there in the world, and I wish you all happiness and safety in the chaos of the apocalypse.

Preacher of the Rustorationists here, absolutely a delight having you visit our little corner of the post-apocalypse.

Deadline out here paying freelancers more than the average media outlet today.

Artisan Tybs here! I'm so happy you had a good time. That was my first year too, so us bumbling around as baby wastelanders was a lot of fun. Thank you for participating in shenanigans, muckracker has a future in being a art model! And thank you for accepting the name Carrion /Carry-on/. Genuinely it was a joke that was too good to pass up, but i knew you really wanted a crow. i kept that in mind for the patch. Even though it was hastely made it fills my heart you accepted this gift. Please continue doing what you do, and i hope we meet again!

"We get all the blood bags and steering wheels we can eat" had me in stitches. This is just post apocalyptic LARPing on a big scale and I love it.

My wife made the Fuck Off fan that you bartered for at the Public Eye! Excellent video.

This is Tusker Rusk of the Clan of the Boltcutters -- was an honor to help y'all out and share a Capri Sun in our shade tent! Also extremely fun climbing the Thunderdome with Carry-On on Saturday night. Y'all are quality folks, hoping to meet you out on the sands of the Wasteland again (edit: the solo shot of me standing in the wind with my kufiyeh scarf up is awesome, literally the one of the first pieces of B-roll in the video!)

Muckraker is honestly so charismatic and comedic there could be a whole movie or some shit about his misadventures in the wastes 😂

I'm a sucker for it, but there's no world where I don't tear up at the dedication and passion for events like these. I took a big swing this year and went to an event like this for the first time which was crazy for me. There's no understating how kind and how much genuine care is found in people connecting with each other at events like these. Wasteland, I'm coming for you next year. Thank you to all of you for reporting on this beautiful world.

This is Yume from Clan of the Boltcutters! It was absolutely delightful having you at our camp, and thanks to Chris for coming back to model for us briefly at our live drawing event! Come back for more blankets and Caprisun anytime :D Love your videos, it was so cool to meet you guys in person.

It's Ticker from Tick Tock! Thanks for the lovely shout-out and a wonderful look at Wasteland! It's never a fleecing when I can get a Wastelander what they need, even if what they need is to not carry around heavy stuff :D

They didn't bully muckraker that was the genuine war boy feel. They would have made him strong and made sure he'd be witnessed

Hey yo Jigsaw here from the tribe Excorpse I’m the “Bystander wearing hat” at 11:08 it’s was so great getting to spend my first WW together with you! It’s crazy I’ve watched your channel for a while now but meeting y’all out in the dirt my mind went blank on where I knew y’all from (that’s my Mojave for you) So when Chris came up to me I thought he was just another first year asking questions that I too didn’t know the answers for Much love ya’ll hope to see you at Neotropolis if you find yourself out there ✌️

Chris completely embodies the most adorable and earnest war boy I've ever seen!

Comments my husband made on muckraker, fondly I will say: "He looks like an adolescent war boy" "He's not a war boy he's a newsboy" "He's precious" "He is a little war brother" 😂❤

I want a What We Do in the Shadows style apocalypse documentary starring Muckraker. Like, a day in the life of a wastelander

"patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter"
