Fallout shelters: secure rooms, build below ground and stocked with everything the occupants would need to survive the first weeks after disaster struck in relative safety. In any post-apocalyptic setting, these are little treasure hoards. Especially those whose builders and owners did not make it. Some are large, communal shelters constructed by the government, others were built by private persons.

These private shelters are covered in this release: personal retreats and fox holes, built six feet below the ground.



Failed Fallout Shelters provides a GM with:

# a general idea on what a private fallout shelter might be like

# a main loot table with 50 entries of general stuff, supplemented by nine small sub-tables [Drugs, Weapons, Music Instruments; Medicine; Special Rations; Alcohol; Personal Hygiene Items, Books; Clothes] totaling a further 50+  further entries  and a separate table with 30 ideas for personal items to be found.

# ideas on how to include such a shelter into the game and what might have happened to it
and its original occupants since “the end of the world”.

# 20 ideas for “special finds” that will make each shelter different from those the PC will have
plundered before.

Would this be helpful to generate loot lists for the Fallout 3 or FO4 games? I'm unable to view anything other than the cover brief. I'm looking to add mod content and assets.

Hello Robert,
I have not played FO4, but Fallout 3. "Failed Fallout Shelter" does not include (retro) scifi items commonly found in the Fallout franchise, but -may- be used to generate loot for a bunker. You need to aware of the following before buying:

#the list is about self-made shelters, base on concepts circulating during the Cold-War-Era. The main list includes items that may useful for a PC (Bengal flares, duct tape, geiger counter), things that may be used as trade good (manual air pump, hammocks, board games) and things that might be considered "junk", but were present in such self-made shelters (large amounts of saw dust, 55 gallons barrels with water, cushions & bedding). Some items are deliberately "low-tech" (oil lamp with oil).

The sub tables include drugs, weapons, music instruments, alcohol (5 to 6 entries each), personal items (30 items that are indeed personal, like an asthma inhaler, a diary, make-up, etc), medicine, special rations...See more

Almost All of the items have an equal in fallout scrapable items, yes it is a random junk list for rooms, and loot containers. pure water, meds, flares, adhesive tape, board games, beds, several alcohol types and glass. air pumps I don't know but could be used for in-game items not listed, 55gal drums are one of the containers used and if empty is scrap steel. Weapons would just be another random list. lamp oil would be new, oil lamps, toothbrush and candels are used for no-scrapable objects already in-game. The pre-bombs fall is set during a post-WWII alt American Red Scare, so pre-60's items will be normal to find. Any New Artwork would be a bonus to add. Even if items would need to be reskinned.

If you have other artwork. contact game producers An easy way to get an idea of game items graphics would be to watch a YouTube game playthrough or Mod review.

I grabbed this hoping the tables will be of use to me but the preview almost turned me off. I may be mistaken but for some reason before this product I was lead to believe the author used English as a second language which may have been an assumption? It also makes my comments somewhat moot as the product is serviceable if that were the case.

The text descriptors I found to be somewhat jarring to read, that is a personal thing. The tables however are less jarring and I feel I can use at least half of them with only minor changes to meet my campaign, the others are not suitable but can also be altered with a bit more effort.

If you can get someone to proofread your work and correct the sentence structures and minor English errors and you 'update' it, I will certainly grab the update. But it is not that much of an issue and should prove handy in some cases.

NOTE: I am not saying this is a bad product for what you get and can be adapted to individual games like all game supplements...See more

Hi there,

thanks for your feedback, it is appreciated! I will try to get somebody for further proofreading and update the product, you (and all other customers) will receive an email notification as soon as this is done (and I will add a further comment here as well).

English is indeed a foreign language to me, your feedback in regard to my writing is welcome as well :). I will try to improve this further.

Thanks for buying my product, I hope you will enjoy using the tables.

Sincerely

Kai Pütz aka Gregorius21778

You are most welcome, I have a few of your titles and obviously I find them helpful in some ways. I speak no other languages and I'd hate to think of how poorly anything I could possibly write would translate into another language considering I would have to rely on Google translate or similar!

Oh, it was not Google or any other web-based tool (as I am well aware that those aren´that good in forming a full blown sentence), I really have to take the blame for those errors all myself =).

Anyway, a corrected version will come, but it will take some more time as I have to wait for a friend of mine who will do the proof reading. Please stay tuned, and thanks for your patience.

Oh sorry, I never meant to suggest that YOU used Google translate, I was admiring how well you have done your translation because I MYSELF would have to resort to nothing better than Google. Please keep up the good work. :)

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
