I would say that much of the above advice is good advice. try to allow the characters room to take their own actions and lead them where it may. often times GMs get so caught up in their story that they push too hard.

gritty

I tried to make it a little more gritty I love the Deathlands books by Axler and so moving it deeper into the dark ages does it for me. In Deathlands you are lucky to get a gun with some bullets. Was Chaos Earth as gritty as you wanted or expected? what do you do to bring out the survival aspect?

extreme conditions often cause equipment to fail. how would you implement a fair way to test characters full environmental armor. For example surviving in a major desert of harsh jungle. I just imagine a suit of armor running its cooling system to the hilt for the majority of the day.
