Finished a silly NUKED! add-on detailing the Fraternal Order of Vermotologists. Basically Scientology but if they were really into Frank Herbert instead of L. Ron Hubbard and if they were harmless idiots instead of actually rather terrifying.
PWYW on itch, check it out!

Every story I write/brainstorm is inevitably "Lone Wolf & Cub"?
Post-apocalyptic Lone Wolf & Cub
Lo-fi sci-fi Lone Wolf & Cub
Low fantasy desert Lone Wolf & Cub
Can't wait until I start brainstorming Redwall Lone Wolf and Cub and take it more literally.
I've never even read Lone Wolf & Cub!

Damn, the summer had hands. I did *not* make any progress on this... whelp, always next summer!
Work so far on the first pass of a "scrapbook" NUKED! rulebook. It only took way too dang long to use stamps and a typewriter. It's not intended to be NUKED! 2e, but there might be a few rules clarifications here and there.
I'll work on this through the summer and see what happens.

The next in a series of monoliths that will slowly unlock the latent psionic powers within the Skrapper. Or make them go crazy. Y'know, whichever.

NUKED! doesn't have a crafting system, nor do I intend to write one up (leave that for the table to handle, I say!), but every now and then I like to sprinkle in a little bit of crafting - as a treat.

Went for a simpler hex today to counteract my usual wordiness. A place to take shelter, refill canteens, and maybe get some food. Mind the giant stinky pig.

Day 36 - Malpais Rangers' Vast Station
Everyone knows I love Rangers, so it was a matter of time before they arrived in *NUKED!*. The Malpais Rangers are meant to be a do-gooder faction to balance out raidahs and groups like P.A.T.R.I.O.T. (and hell, the Tekno-Kult).

What post-apocalyptic world would be complete w/o a shadowy pre-apocalyptic shadow government? Not this one! Based on Fallout's Enclave, P.A.T.R.I.O.T. wants to rule over the wastes, but doesn't mind the mutants quite as much.

I wrote up the skraptrap about a year ago after realizing NUKED! didn't have much in terms of plant-based creatures. It's based mostly on those weird cacti from RANGO, with a little Venus flytrap thrown in for good measure.
