You are busy planning your post-apocalyptic game's visit to a shattered city, and no doubt your mind is full of the plot that will play out whilst the party is there... but to create the authentic feeling of an alternate reality, you'll want to add flavour and colour that doesn't have anything to do with the story... and that can be difficult to think up, especially when you are thinking about your plot.

That is where this product fits in. Just roll percentage dice and describe what's there. Local colour adding realism to the scene but quite irrelevant... or are they? Anything from an incidental encounter to a full-blown side adventure - or even something that contributes to your main plotline - can result, and you can of course hide the plot-related events amidst these others...

Maybe there's a young couple selling tie dyed clothing from a prop up booth on the city sidewalk (# 61) or three rastas armed with assault rifles stand guard at the front entrance of an apartment complex (# 91). Is there a story behind them? Do they know where to find whatever it is that the party is after? Or are they just what they appear? Only you know... but it all goes to add to the realism of the scene, making the shared alternate reality come alive for you and your players.

Ostensibly penned by a bard noted for his enjoyment of alcoholic beverages, here is a fine collection of carefully-developed drinks to have on hand whenever the party drops into a tavern.

Each drink has not only a name but Talloow's own tasting notes, a detailed description of the drink and how it's made and even notes of its origin. Some have magical or medicinal properties as well. There is a section on likely costs and how drink may be supplied which is straightforward to relate to the game system that you are using.

How about a refreshing glass of Bumblebutton's Berry Barrel Beer - a halfling brew infused with the flavour of summer berries, or if you prefer white wine try some Gelf's Golden-White. (Gelf makes several other drinks as well, if white wine is not to your taste.) There's Raldenshyre, a red wine, or Red Scoundrel - possibly the best known vodka. There are some racial favourites from both elf and dwarf suppliers and plenty more besides.

The aim of these is just to provide some flavour during a tavern visit, but it would not be too hard to write a plot around them!

I am not running a post apocalypse game, but I used some of these characters for our online gaming group. Some of the names gave everyone a good chuckle, and it was still a good fit.

I have been using this for one shots, for my online gaming group. I rolled a few dice when I hit a writers block and I quickly had a two episode game that everyone had a great deal of fun with. It has inspired me and my players to knew and wacky ideas.

Left a review on 100 things to discover on a near future wasteland where I mention this product as well. Both items are great quick references for fast and easy random items for a post apoc style game. Under a dollar in the US for both items, under 50p if your in the UK, absolutely fantastic.

This is a really nice little list of things for any GM running a post apoc game this along with 100 Odd Items to Loot of Bodies can really give a nice varied and not generic load of items that your players can find. Some might only be good for trade, some might have obvious uses, and in any post apoc game you'd be surprised by the uses some players come up with for these items. I highly recommend it abd 100 Odd Items to Loot of Bodies.

I dont know why it is getting so hard to find random generators,especially ones where you dont have to go online every time you want to use it. Thats why I jumped at the chance to get this one.

Its just a good collection of random bits you might find lying around a post-apocalypse town/city. Its a great item,and would definately love to see more like it.

Another nice touch is that it is system neutral.

Well done all around.

Excellent drop-in for a village encounter. Great product for the price.

Nice backdrop for a village. These are excellent down-in items.

I enjoy the book< it's clearly written, and enjoyable to throw tidbits at my players for.

I love these "Hamlets on a Page" products. They are perfect drop-ins when you need something extra, or to build into your map to start with. They contain most things you need to know about the town, down to how many people are there. This particular town is full of shops. When your PCs need to sell off something or buy new gear, this is the place for it.

This product is really simple to use, and I like that a lot. As a newbie GM, I need all the help I can get!

I have to say it, I absolutely LOVE this guide! If you want a realistic game, this is one you will enjoy. It includes all the information you could need to know about working with different types of meat your PC might be collecting in your game. It includes charts to see how much useable meat you can get from all sorts of animals (real and not so real), as well as information on making special cuts, number of calories, curing, and even tanning the hides. Chock-full of information. Well worth the price. (I will also be buying one for another realistic gaming friend, he is a hunter, and I know this will thrill him to death.)

Another nice little map, easy to use. I'm really pleased with the quality I get for the price.

This is great for me because there are times I decide to throw in unusual items on the fly. A good list to have around.

Another great gem from Fishwife. I really like how there's a lot of description but you still have room to fit it into lots of scenarios. I'll definitely be buying more from Fishwife in the future.
