[RPG] Glowing Sea & Electric Skies: Hazards
Glowing Sea & Electric Skies,
A Mutant Crawl Classics homebrew setting
Part Two - Hazards
Roaming the wasteland is dangerous, yet every tribe, big or small, must endeavor to gather resources that will give the tribe an edge. Seekers will slowly become accustomed to the various hazards that their region represents.
In the setting of Glowing Sea & Electric Skies (GS&ES), random encounter tables are used to determine what the Player Characters encounter when they are wandering the wasteland. When I'm running a hex crawl, these will come in handy. I won't bore you with the basic or advanced techniques of creating Random Encounter Tables, but it's important to note that I'm keeping "bell curve" probabilities of 2D6 in mind when creating these.
Starting with three types of Hazards: Hostile, Terrain, Weather.
Each Hazard has three Categories: Natural, Radioactive, Technological.
I'm hoping to build some random tables from these, with a varying probability ratio of 1-2-3, depending on the region the PCs will be exploring, so that each new area or Hex has a different feel.
This means that within a specific terrain Hex, there might be 1 Natural, 2 Radioactive, and 3 Technological Hazards, and in the next Hex, there might be 3 Natural, 1 Radioactive, and 2 Technological Hazards.
