100 Scavenged Food Sources

As a Post-Apocalyptic writer, I can appreciate the creativeness that went into this table. However; my only criticism is that there is just too much of most items. I just can't see a PA setting where anybody has up to 8 or 12 of any one item. It sort of pushes past the genre IMHO. At best, one could argue that the apocalyptic event just happened and these are grocery store raiders - well, okay. But, What about a decade or so later? I suppose if the dead were merchants, it would make more sense, but not just random corpses.

Anyway, the table is pretty incredible for it's variety and creative thought, I will just have to adjust the numbers a bit to fit my PA era - several decades later. I still think the sheer variety of foodstuffs makes this a pretty awesome table regardless of the die numbers.

Darwin's World: Scav's Swag

I have mixed feelings about this product. On the one hand, it does provide a really good, really random set of loot tables. On the other hand, many of the items in this chart are woefully dated. This is because DW used the D20 Modern Equipment charts to develop its own equipment lists. The problem with that is that D20 Modern was written in the early 2000s, so the technology for many items is long obsolete - nobody carries PDAs anymore; they use smart phones, for example. What I have done is re-build the lists to update certain items, by re-creating it in Excel. It was tedious, but a little more useful, especially since I use my own made-up "sci-fi" weapons, for example. In general, the tables work well for the Post-Apocalyptic setting of Darwin's World, but the GM may have to make minor adjustments.

This is a well-detailed adventure good for introducing players to Darwin's World. Of particular usefulness is the different maps for players and GM. Also, the GM can just sit down and get going; he/she doesn't need to roll up loot or NPCs. This helps if time is limited or just to have a ready-made introductory adventure any time it's needed. Perhaps best of all; the GM can reuse this "old military base" later wih just minor tweaking (different building names, more complete fencing, different loot, humans instead of robots, etc.). I have reused this base many times with just small changes and the players were none the wiser.
