PostPostApoc treasures

Print Friendly Version of this pagePrint Get a PDF version of this webpagePDF Aaaaaaaand back.



I got out of the house , went on a road trip, hitch hiked around a little, saw kiwis , giant eels, baby pukekos , beach sunsets and winding hill road sunrises, a new favourite colour (make room verdigris green, you got company; Arahura river teal ) and yeah.

Post post apoc is what happens after everyone has gotten over the collapse of civilization thing, and are starting to live a little. A smug , satisfied, "those old guys sure were stupid I love fighting dinosaurs" attitude is the normal.
Ruins are awesome! Life is exciting! Look how much room there is with 90 % of the population dead! Building shit is easy with all this left over stuff! Why didn't more people eat dogs? Dogs are delicious! I'm living in a clock tower because fuck yeah clock towers. For fun we weaponize buses and then invite everyone around for a bbq based on what gets stuck on the buses grill.

So yeah.
This attitude informs the choice in ostentatious displays of wealth.
Traditional precious materials are ridiculed , instead desirable are things that mock the values and hang ups of the past, desecrations and willful naivety.    So when your players ask for what treasure they cut out of the train-sharks stomach-caboose, why roll on this table here and gosh everything will be so much more interesting.
