What is world like in the badlands and regions between cities
I am writing my second RED campaign and the beginning 3-4 sessions take place in a caravan making its way to night city.
Having trouble finding info about the areas and nature between cities, how often you come upon small towns and landmarks etc.
Seeking any tips to writing encounters for the players.
Its probably not anything like mad max or fallout
Is there good resources I could read for inspiration?
EDIT: Thanks Chooms for the great responses. Helps jumpstart my writing process.
I might be able to construct a few sessions worth of material, explore strange ruins, scavenge for materials, encounter hostile/friendly NPCs and whatnot. And at the caravan/convoy letting PCs to get to know each other, some crucial npcs and maybe hint at the main plot. When arriving at NC, they need to look for a place to stay, jobs and other stuff, alone or together whatever they decide while following their own agendas.
