d100 Post Apoc Market Encounters

Blog Update: I have fixed several folders of downloadable docs and removed some files and the last security update where possible. Im not answering requests via gmail for files anymore sorry. People failed to my questions about versions of links that worked and to help me fix problems. Im probably going to move all content elsewhere in future and have removes some versions of my work. I have tried to fix stuff - commenting on the links page helps me help everyone better than one at a time via gmail requests people don't return my reply requests. Thanks for Patrons who did respond to my link testing requests.


Pic from film Salute of the Jugger made in my birth-state around Coober Pedy and a must-see for non-mad max post apoc vibe. The Blood of heroes some cuntries. Cult film and also a sports film. People play this game decades later in an ever-growing league. The underground bunkers is a worse hell than the surface and the elites live like god-king vampires predating on the common herd.  So G'day youse bastards and come around the fire for vegemite on damper with billy tea and I"ll d100 you a story of post-apocalyptic misery at the mall. Usable for busy towns and possibly for seasonal festivals in smaller towns.
