* DugTooDeep: The source of the Deep Horrors. The Mountain Dwarves had stumbled on upon a race of monstrous insects and had been waging a secret war against them for generations before the Night Of Fire. Although the apocalypse seems to have contained them for now, those who know of them fear they might resurface and finish off whats left of the world since there isn't a dwarven nation to fight them anymore.

* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Averted. Although dwarves are often excellent smiths, they are a very diverse race. There are actually two types of dwarves: Mountain Dwarves (which, at first glance, appear to be your typical fantasy dwarves, but have HiddenDepths) and Desert Dwarves (which have very little in common with traditional fantasy dwarves other than being good smiths). In addition, dwarf [=NPCs=] mostly avoid stereotypes, and sample characters include a kleptomaniac mountain dwarf who is convinced that the apocalypse is not over.

''Desolation'' is a [[AfterTheEnd Post-Apocalyptic]] {{Fantasy}} [=RPG=] created by Greymalkin Designs in 2009. It is set in the world of Scondera, after an apocalyptic event called "The Night of Fire" killed 90% of the population. It delights in [[SubvertedTrope Subverting]], [[AvertedTrope Averting]], [[InvertedTrope Inverting]], and otherwise [[PlayingWithATrope Playing With]] common {{Fantasy}} tropes. It uses the ''Ubiquity'' dice pool system, the same system as ''TabletopGame/HollowEarthExpedition''.
It has two supplements: ''Desolation: Survivors'' and ''Desolation: Journeys Before and After''. ''Journeys'' was released in 2010 and featured expanded rules for playing before the Apocalypse, including new spell casting rules, equipment values, magic items, and archetypes. It also included a full campaign consisting of eight scenarios that begin before the Night of Fire and lead players through the Apocalypse and into the After. ''Survivors'' was released in 2016 and contained new rules for creating [[OurOrcsAreDifferent orc]], [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent goblin]] and kobold characters, new magical traditions, expanded scavenging rules, dozens of new creatures, nearly 60 non-player characters and more than 20 new sample communities.
