We got some killer art by @hodagrpg.bsky.social, @joeshb.bsky.social, @chaoclypse.bsky.social, and @oldschooljelly.bsky.social and, hey, the adventure itself ain't half bad neither.

I hope you check it out and enjoy some of the biggest, wackiest NUKED! dungeons to date!

It's been a wild summer and I've been super "Sir-Not-Appearing-On-This-Social-Media-Site," but I wanted to pop in and let everyone know that the latest NUKED! adventure from @harshrealmpress.itch.io and I is available on my website!

I think this is one of those pieces that got lost in the mail for a few weeks...

Once the wedding is in the rearview I'm going to try to get back on my Rangers reformatted project and give this piece the home it deserves!

Work so far on the first pass of a "scrapbook" NUKED! rulebook. It only took way too dang long to use stamps and a typewriter. It's not intended to be NUKED! 2e, but there might be a few rules clarifications here and there.

I'll work on this through the summer and see what happens.

You stand before the great THRILLA KILLA! The Lord of the Iron Citadel! The Seneschal of the Salt Flats! The Apostate of the Apocalypse!

Please, THRILLA KILLA, he Lord of the Iron Citadel,t he Seneschal of the Salt Flats, and the Apostate of the Apocalypse has a perfectly balanced amount of swagger in his bloodstream!

Can confirm that THRILLA KILLA, the Lord of the Iron Citadel! The Seneschal of the Salt Flats! The Apostate of the Apocalypse is not a "chill guy."

Day 42 - The Death House

One of the earlier hexes I wrote for The Vast region with the intention to introduce a potential hireling for the Skrappers.

Day 41 - Hexagonal Monolith

The next in a series of monoliths that will slowly unlock the latent psionic powers within the Skrapper. Or make them go crazy. Y'know, whichever.

Day 40 - Meteorite Crater

NUKED! doesn't have a crafting system, nor do I intend to write one up (leave that for the table to handle, I say!), but every now and then I like to sprinkle in a little bit of crafting - as a treat.

Day 39 - Fellowship of the Harvest

One of the earlier hexes I actually wrote. Wanted to write a weird town that turns out not to be insidious.

Day 38 - Bomb Kultist Camp

Everyone's favorite, whimsical, apocalyptic terrorists are at it again. This site exists to point the Skrappers in the direction of a future dungeon.

Day 37 - Old Spanish Mission

Went for a simpler hex today to counteract my usual wordiness. A place to take shelter, refill canteens, and maybe get some food. Mind the giant stinky pig.

Day 36 - Malpais Rangers' Vast Station

Everyone knows I love Rangers, so it was a matter of time before they arrived in *NUKED!*. The Malpais Rangers are meant to be a do-gooder faction to balance out raidahs and groups like P.A.T.R.I.O.T. (and hell, the Tekno-Kult).

Day 35 - P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Van Buren Bunker

What post-apocalyptic world would be complete w/o a shadowy pre-apocalyptic shadow government? Not this one! Based on Fallout's Enclave, P.A.T.R.I.O.T. wants to rule over the wastes, but doesn't mind the mutants quite as much.

Day 34 - Skraptrap Copse

I wrote up the skraptrap about a year ago after realizing NUKED! didn't have much in terms of plant-based creatures. It's based mostly on those weird cacti from RANGO, with a little Venus flytrap thrown in for good measure.

Day 33 - Bovine Bones

A simple hex to end the work week. Started adding more details earlier, but realized it'd be better as a separate hex, so I'll share that one next week!

Day 32 - Deep Space Observatory

I wanted a place with aggressive Tekno-Kultists to contrast with the friendlier squad in Site 92. Came up with S.A.G.A.N. by accident, but I like a friendly AI who just wants to look at space. Thank you @tisenshrawder.bsky.social for helping me figure out the name.

Day 31 - Abandoned Chuck Wagon

Was watching a western and it inspired me to create this hex. Still on the fence about building out Loot Tables, so that part of the entry might change later.

Day 30 - The Oracle's Cave

Alocation originally showing up in Black Bog, but cut for space & lack of thematic cohesion. Haven't decided if the S.A.F.E. mentioned here is going to be the same as the S.A.F.E. mentioned by Rand at Devil's Camp (leaning yes).
