>Raiders: An unfortunate truth of the wastes is the prevalence of raider gangs. Savage and violent, they typically take more than they make but there are exceptions. Most don’t settle down in any place for too long, and tend to use up what they have quickly. Many treat the apocalypse as a sort of hedonistic paradise, murdering for fun, using homemade narcotics, and generally raping to their hearts content.

Makes sense, given the fact they're pretty fucked up.

They may have a close knit inner circle, but they always rule with absolute power when it comes down to it.

>Death Cult: Unsurprisingly among the blighted folk of the wastes, some have taken to worshipping death, or the idea of a “Good death”. Perhaps it’s a mythical afterlife, a desire to see the world well and truly die, or simply a nihilistic belief that death is an inevitable constant in life, for whatever reason this group worships death itself.

And a...

>Distinctive Icon: A motif or symbol runs throughout the groups structures, clothes, and vehicles. Maybe it’s a specific animal or object, or maybe it’s something less specific like bullets or flames.

Makes sense, given that they're lives are gonna be pretty short and brutish. Need something to assure them it's okay to die and something to tie them together in the first place.

Interesting. The pinnacle of their engineering and mechanical skill?

Guys. Guys.

We just made the HELLS ANGELS.

A group of mutant raiders who've built their whole society on biker memorabilia and artifacts, turned into a religion about riding hard and dying young. They chopshop vehicles together, they wear leather, they killmaimburn everything, and they're on a most definitive highway to hell.

Alright, you guys discuss this first band of mutated miscreants for a few minutes and get them properly hashed out while I finish typing up the wasteland tables themselves. I'll post a pastebin here with those in probably 10-15.

I could just keep them in my head, but I'd prefer if you guys were able to keep me honest.

>>53968360

What if the world was an irradiated wasteland because of a failed alien invasion? If it's in Eastern Europe, maybe it's a frozen hellscape instead of a typical desert?

>>53968415
Exactly. They were probably bikers or greasers before the bombs fell, and they stuck around doing the same thing. Probably raided a military base early on, chopped down all the vehicles, and used to weapons to continue their warpath ever since.

>>53968370
>Legendary Car

So the helicopter mounted on the humvee (or a big military truck) with the blades reinforced to be used to "de-construct" victims?

>>53968434

I would like that. Cars keep you warm and most people have a coal oven in their car.

>>53968370
>>53968440
Or they are decendants of conscripts. Once the apocalypse happened the officers got out or were killedina mutiny. What was left wasa gang of young soldiers with to much weapons and no goal. It would fit that the hells angels were founded by veterans.

I'm picturing a lot of their cultural mores being lifted from rock music and greaser lifestyles, without knowing the context. They think various bands are saints, or godly figures. They interpret the words of Johnny Cash as distant omens of a strange future. They think all the pomade they keep finding is for sacred fires. After so long they interpret the world through what little they can remember of their ancestor's lives.

Should I put an option for a different country than the States in the wasteland creation tables, or not bother because it makes things too complicated?

If they're inspired by biker gangs, they probably still think they're incredibly cool going and killing people.

>>53968840
Just an idea here, but what if the Dictator's title was The Man? When The Man comes around gets a whole new meaning, and it's also pretty ambiguous and spooky for enemies and targets alike. Also, whole dynasties could start around the idea that all of the Mans are descended or reincarnated or incarnated from the Man in Black. Other men choose other colors or other themes, but they hold the faith that one day the Man in Black will come again, to lead them into a ring of fire that spans the world, and with him shall they Cut Down their enemies and ride forever free of the holds of their mythical hell of Full-Soem, free of Sheriffs and Deputies and Men of Reno. They shall ride Black, and nothing will ever stop them again.

>>53968840

>Wretched

>Raiders

Fits for a mix of bikers and soldiers gone evil.

>Dictatorship

Remnants of the military hierarchy mixed with influences from bike gang structure. Lead by a general, inner circle of sergeant-at-arms for example.

>Death Cult

Maybe they use fear as a weapon ? And at some point they started believing their own image. We are the angels of death etc.

>Distinctive Icon: Probably a tombstone

>Leathers and uniforms, clearly bikers.

Weird mix of old uniforms, leatherjackets and bikler gang patches ? Me likey.

>Scrap

>Drive makeshift vehicles covered in spikes and buzzsaws

Weird mix of bikes and cars mashed together with military hardware.

>and their legendary vehicle is just the perfect blend of speed, strength, and usefulness

Maybe its the old generals/chapter presidents car. It has religious meaning because it announces if a settlement is ripe for killing. It is covered with intricate pictures, the skulls of worthy enemies and is generally in mint condition.

>>53969018
I'd play a campaign about needing to slay the various lieutenants of the gang (the Man in Green, the Man in Blue, the Man in Red) before eventually taking down The Man himself and learning once and for all what they're doing with all those old Johnny Cash records.

>GENETICS - Part-Lives
Slightly mutated and irradiated, but still fairly normal looking. Maybe their skin is toughened to the heat and rough terrain of the wastes, at the cost of high rates of skin cancers.
>CULTURE - Mercs
Drift across the wastes, fight for coin and try to survive.
>LEADERSHIP - Consensus
Turns out they have some sort of ethics and old world values. Wannabe road warriors.
>QUIRKS - Pyromaniacs, """Intellectual"""
Mercenaries with a penchant for technology with a big destructive streak. Maybe they make use of fuel and plasma cutters to salvage vehicle parts and cut off heads, and fight for a share of whatever salvage is left over? Alternatively they could engage in Brotherhood of Steel tier cargo cultism, jealously guarding their secrets. Maybe integrate the pyromania too. "Knights of the Flame" or whatever.
>APPEARANCE - Gas Masks, Uniform
Makes sense for those around a lot of smoke to wear gas masks, plus the intimidation factor never hurts. Possibly remnants of an old world organization?
>RESOURCE - Water, the lifeblood of the wastes
They gotta have something valuable to maintain all their shit.
>EQUIPMENT - Well-Kept
Now we're getting somewhere. Probably raided some sort of armoury or garage they're based out of.
>MOTORS - Classics
Muscle cars, police cruisers, trucks and maybe a few motorbikes. Similar to the Bad Cops and ex-MFP in Lord Humungus' gang.
>MOTOR GEAR - Spikes, Black Paint
Set your car's bonnet on fire, cover it in shards of steel and ram it into the side of a van, shine on your crazy fucking diamonds
>FLAGSHIP - A FUCKING TAAANNNNK. Enough said.

That said, none of this seems set in stone by any means. Anyone have any ideas for names, themes, a leader figure or anything that just might be cool?

Alright since you rolled the same thing twice I'm gonna take this guy's >>53969423 first roll. So our unique landmarks are...

>60-80 Very tall thing: A radio tower, singularly tall skyscraper, or otherwise. This is a manmade monolith that can be seen for miles
>40-50 A Quagmire: A region known for being very difficult to traverse. Maybe it's a bog, maybe it's a perpetual sandstorm. In any case, it'll be a big factor in trade routes and the like.
>1-20: A Battlefield. Decaying hulks of the End Times all piled for the world to see. Rusting tanks, planes, and the like along the bodies of their operators.

Well, seems are city as a flooding issue in one area, a bunch of wrecked military gear in another, and a very tall landmark somewhere in it.

In any case, give me the first roll for our second faction as we appear to have voted no on that guy. Sorry bro.

Well, it appears we have some relatively "normal" people to counterpoint the first faction of lunatics. As I mentioned though, if there aren't enough "normal" people we'll say there are smaller communities scattered about.

Now give me more dice.

>>53969536
>Tall thing
It's a megacity, so maybe some kind of sky scrapper that once served as a symbol of hope for the city, now just a looming shadow over everyone.

>Quagmire
Maybe there's just a huge chunk of the city missing, like a huge cave in with the subway tunnels leading to a canyon of sorts that everyone needs to slowly go around. Whatever works for a city.

>Battlefield
Military vs civilians before everything went to Hell. Maybe the bilkers were the first ones in that conflict and got dibs on a lot of the good weapons left behind.

>Road Warriors: The wasteland is almost uniformly lawless violent place where the powerful prey on the poor and the strong abuse the weak. There are those few tenacious souls who seek to better the world though. Fearless and skilled by necessity, these Road Warriors usually travel the ruined highways alone, dealing with those they see as wrong doers with whatever justice they see fit, but occasionally they form groups. Coalitions of these apocalyptic lawmen are dangerous and untrusted by other groups, if only because they can often lead to quick destruction of the status quo.

Well, seems like we might have a counterpoint to the "villains" of the setting.

>>53969590
>>53969588
Y'know, we could have the Tombstones (or whatever we call the bikers) could be native to the battlefield.

We could have each of the landmarks be the main stomping grounds for each faction, and roll up one or two more for the other factions.

Anyway, more rolling. This time for leadership style.

>>53969536
>Very tall thing

The Liberty Tower once stood for everything that is the U S of A. Showing the godless Communists across the ocean what this great nation is capable of even in times of a cold war, it was built of the toughest materials American industry and science could produce, it could withstand even an atomic blast.

At least, it would have. The bombs fell before construction was finished. Now the charred husk stands tall, having failed to protect the inhabitants it never had. A symbol for everything that went wrong.

They may have a close knit inner circle, but they always rule with absolute power when it comes down to it.

I'll keep distinctive icon though, because it's the most versatile. So we have.

>Motor Worship: In a world of vast blasted wastes and monstrous hazards, access to vehicles is the dividing line between life and death for most. Some take this a step farther and literally worship their rides as tools of divine salvation. Maybe they revere them like holy animals, wear garb that evokes them, or even take violent offense to those who mistreat them.

And

>>53969857
I'd say they worship Police Vehicles, and every other vehicles they may appropriate they also try and paint up like a cop car.

As for distinctive icon... Police badge? To be forced to hand in one's badge by the Chief is the greatest shame they could suffer.

I've been keeping it to two to avoid potential overlap between groups.

Makes sense for cops to have uniforms. They probably paint themselves with whatever their symbol is. >>53969913 I like this idea of painting everything in cop colors, regardless of whether or not it was originally police related. Your guys' call though.

Police helicopter. Makes sense. Also lets them project their domineering "We are the law" attitude with a flying searchlight and ability to repel into action.

They also intimidate enemies by barking orders to surrender at them through the helicopter's megaphone

Alternatively, the most 'officers' of the SWAT rappel directly on top of enemies

>>53970523
Most elite officers*

Okay. So we seem to have our next faction.

Maybe they are called "The force" ?

They have shit gear mostly revolvers, the occasional shotgun and close combat weapons. So they focus on coming close to the enemy with their classic cars so that the poleriders can climb onto the tombstone vehicles. The normal members paint their cars in police colours. When you become a detective/deputy you get this sweet black swat paint. Needles to say they have religious feelings for their cars. And they own the skies with their motherfucking police chopper.

They have a bunker like mainbase where the fertile women are. Their whole culture is a warped mix of missunderstood cop cliches and their harsh sense of apocalyptic justice. For instance everyone has a partner so that he can pick up your badge when you die. Only a warrior with a badge can go on patrol (leave the base). Also you have to show an enemy your badge and scream something about rights and lawyas otherwise you are a dishonourable coward not playing by the rules.

Okay, to recap Faction 2
>Part lives: A little bit mutated, a little bit of cancer, but not half bad compared to others.

>Road Warriors: They're cops, basically.

>Dictatorship: The police chief, probably.

>Worship cars and have a distinctive icon, probably a badge

>Use polecats to get onto enemy vehicles, and their elite drivers use SWAT black cars

>They have an attack helicopter.

Religious extremists, political/philosophical idealogues, or just plain killers for hire.

Same anon. In base to the new rolls, the xenofobic mentality also fits perfectly with an hellenistic style. Greeks were xenophobic as shit.

>Gas Masks: Never seen without their masks, they might have a single distinctive style or just whatever they find. In either case, it certainly makes for an imposing appearance in most situations. Maybe they only do it for that intimidation factor, maybe it’s because they live in a particularly nasty patch.

Plus

>War Paint: When they go to battle, these people paint themselves, and maybe even their rides, in a distinctive style.

Neat, the gasmasks certainly fit the elite fighter chic.

Now give a roll for what stuff they have in droves.

Corinthian Helmet Gas Masks would certainly be badass, but lets not go so far as to say they're hoplites before we learn what their gear is.

I'm not too big on the Greek thing, the two factions we have so far are very Americana-esque, and suddenly Hellenic cosplayers feels out of left field

>>53971243
I dig it. The anarcho-democratic thing is more Athenian, in my opinion. But who don´t love some PostApoc spartans?

>>53971306
Ehhh lets wait what they are.

Knights or cowboays go well with land. >>53971263

>>53971289
Fuck it. I'm gonna use this one because the other two have already been used.

>Water: The wet stuff. The real lifeblood of the wastes. In short supply, so those that control it are invariably very well off.

Where do these guys live that they get this stuff? Should we roll the final new landmark or go with one of the pre-existing two?

Give me a roll for equipment quality in the mean time.

>>53971305
Neither am I, but people seem to have latched on.

Not big on it either. Seems very unfitting and forced.


also rawlin

>>53971305
Every post-apocalyptic wasteland needs their bizarre historical cosplayers.

>>53971364
Maybe sports teams? I'm picturing mercenaries decked out in armored football helmets and goalie masks, modified to be gas masks, making playbooks for battlefield engagements and such.

>>53971364
>Ramshackle: Armor is cobbled together, guns are hand tooled, and houses/clothes are generally not in the best state. Pretty standard for most people, unfortunately.

As this seems to be the first major breaking point, we could put it to a vote.

Also give me another roll for motor-pool.

>>53971329
There is a flooded part of the city, yes?

Perhaps it's flooded because a still drinkable underground reservoir bubbles up to the surface there, and this mercenary faction controls it. Their mercenary nature is twofold: whoever pays, they're willing to fight for, and whoever pays, they take water to in great armored convoys.

Agreed, straight-up Greek historical reenactors seems way too specific... What if they called themselves Spartans and had a mishmash of traditions from ancient Europe and Greece?

Rolled 78 (1d100)

>>53971405

>>53971405
I'm personally fine with historically inspired stuff, as long as it's taken fairly straight-faced and more "inspiration" than just wacky cosplay. Maybe if it's toned down to riot armour and scrap plates that kinda resemble antiquity armour, and crests on the helmets?

>>53971444
The anon who started the whole greek thing here. Maybe they are greeks wannabees? have read Herodotus, and too many historic child books, and have a bizarre greeks mix going on

>>53971400
>>53971444
Wait combine the two. A former high school football team with a Spartan mascot before the end of all things. Now, a group of mercenaries using their Coach's playbook to win battles and thrive.

>>53971444
Could be a sports team like >>53971400 suggests. Hence how a bunch of Americans somehow got it in their head that they're Greeks/Romans. Would also be interesting if they badly understand the whole thing because they were originally jocks/hoodlums who just had the Greek guy on their logo.

Though, if they're a sports team or descended from one, and they control water, I find it difficult not to call them Waterboys.

>>53971444
>>53971405
>>53971400
Waaait a minute... Perhaps there was a local sports team named after some goofy old world thing (The Whateversville Spartans, or Thingtown Cowboys), and the faction took the protective gear, the name, and with the name came some cultural baggage resulting in a bizarre mishmash of influences

>>53971444

>Agreed, straight-up Greek historical reenactors seems way too specific

Old world+blues and intellectual might have worked together for that but otherwise its unfitting. The cops don't really know what cops were and thats less specific.

>>53971490
>>53971491
Thats the way! The Spartans were distinguished warriors and they had slaves. Thats as far as the cosplay should go. The rest should be sports shit.

>>53971490
Waterboys. I love it.

>>53971470
>Fast: Sports cars, interceptors, maybe even a handful of race/supercars. Extremely fast, stylish, and fragile. Drink fuel like no one's business and will need a skilled mechanic to maintain, but the speed is generally worth it.

Interesting. Find places to go flat out in a city might be hard, but if they're willing to go all Tokyo drift that's pretty cool.

>>53971491
>>53971490
This seems like a good middle ground to me.

Give me two dice for how they soup up their rides.

>>53971400
>>53971483
>>53971486

What if we combined this? They worship ancient sports legends alongside the Greek Pantheon, wield riot shields and hockey sticks in equal measure, and have "Announcers" that function as priests and record-keepers?

>Interesting. Find places to go flat out in a city might be hard, but if they're willing to go all Tokyo drift that's pretty cool.

Maybe they are completely reckless and often crash.

>>53971569
Seems totally hig-school jock to me.

>>53971538
>>53971569
So we've made a mercenary faction of former stereotypical football jocks pretending they're spartans. I love it.

They totally have to have fake greek names, like Chaddius or Davemylion.

>>53971538
hrm... riot shields, armour scavenged from metal plates and sports gear, spears and hockey sticks with the tops taken off and serrated metal fixed to the edge and top, sort of like a macuahuitl? what about any firearms? I think using single-load arquebus and makeshift "greek fire" made from crude fuel would be cool. add a bit of Byzantine in there.

>>53971554
>Harpoons/Graplers: The ability to keep your vehicular prey where you can kill it is an important ability, and what’s more is that if you’re actually faster you can then drag the slower vehicle behind you.

>Lances: Grenades on sticks. A shockingly effective weapon, and you can mount them conveniently on a lot of different parts of a vehicle without messing with it too much.

These guys are apparently "Things attached to sticks: the faction".

>>53971598
>>53971597
I dig these guys being total dipshits. But they fight well and they control a very valuable resource, so the other factions play ball with them. So to speak.

I also like how this is apparently a really depressing setting but all the factions have turned out totally over the top.


Now give me the final roll for their knuckle-draggers in their main vehicle.

Lances and Harpoons? Badass and fits perfectly.

Fucking jocks larping as spartans with gas masks and ice hockey paint. They all drive super fast cars and often crash. They have fucking nade lances and harpoons and a sick war rig as the center of the assault.

Everyone hates them but everyone needs to drink so...

>War Rig: Huge, heavily armoured, able to carry a ton of cargo, and manned/gunned like a fortress. War Rigs command the roads, and anyone who’s anyone has one. Generally made of a truck or two stapled together, but other bodies are possible. A combine for example.

Well, maybe the base for this is the team's bus? With tons of additions of course. Could seat lots of "warriors".

That's it for these guys. I'm gonna take another quick break to shower while you guys put some finishing touches on these guys. Then we move on to the penultimate group.

>>53971629

What if they're based in a heavily fortified old water filtration unit by the ocean and trade water as often as mercenary work?

>>53971690
Even the face paint fits them being rabid sports fans. They paint everything in the colors of their team.

Would probably be good to pin those colors down though. Maybe red and black?

This whole world seems to be so depressing and shit that everyone is completely over the top and larping to somehow cope with it. Its all a huge wargame for them.

>>53971720
Blue and orange?

Blue because of the water and orange because its flashy.

>>53971694
We have made Football Congress. I'm so proud.

Where do you think they actually keep all their water? How did they get all of it? My bet is rec center and it's swimming pool and ice rink setup that they've made their base into.

>>53971738
People decided that without society to hold them back they just took what they always wanted to do and pushed it to the extreme. A couple generations of broken telephone later and you have this mess.

>>53971694
They run themselves in an broterhood of equals. Every Bro has the same voice, and they fight as a Team, following the lessons of the Last Coach, now a figure of Myth.

>>53971768
My suggestion was >>53971441

>>53971694

The War Rig should be an amped up school bus with a shit-ton of modifications, a semi-truck engine, bulletproofed glass, and a sled upfront seem fitting.

>>53971768
>>53971785
Maybe they clean it up and store it all in a sports stadium that they've filled with water to create a reservoir?

>>53971809
They totally have to do those absurd Colosseum battles where they flooded the arena, because one of their founders had to do a project on it in history class and it was the only cool part of Mr. Hendrick's lesson.

>>53971785
I like >>53971441 better because they should supply all factions with water.

>>53971784

>The last coach told us about the ancient spartans and their warrior wars

>He told us that if the enemy is in the lead you have to double down.

This society has two leaders. The coach who decides about all things civilian and political.

And the Captain who is only responsible for war stuff.

>>53971598

>>53971775

I don't know if that's depressing or inspiring.

Alright I'm back. Seeing as this thread is almost done, I'm gonna say this is the last new faction we'll add. So we'll have four factions fighting for dominance in the city with some regular-ish folks caught in between. Alright?

Now give me 1d100 for their genetic make up.

Well at this point every faction controls a ressource everyone else badly needs.

So in the end everyone depends on everyone.

Maybe we roll 2 other mad over the top factions controlling a ressource the other party needs.

Warfare is actually highly ritualized with a lot of rules. Its not total warfare but instead a very bloody and ongoing wargame. Its more about hostages and capturing enemy rigs so that you can get more ressources. Sure alot of people die but you don't annihilate each other.

Its really a hell for the normal people living in between who have nothing to offer and who aren't a aprty of a fucking crazy warrior cult.


What do you think my fellow apocalyptic bretheren ?

>They wear gasmasks and paint themselves in the colors of their team.

As a note, we haven't really talked about the masks and the xenophobia much.

>As a note, we haven't really talked about the masks and the xenophobia much.

>masks

They played ice hockey and the apocalypse so they traded the hockey masks for gasmaks ? Also they look pretty rad.

>xenophobia

Well obviously you are lame and a nerd if you aren't a descendant of the original dream team. We might trade water with you but we sure as heck don't chill with you and you will never become a spartan.
