Less than 3 months to Gary Con! Running 3 Gamma World, and for the first time ever 3 Metamorphosis Alpha.
One of my favorite things to do in an adventure is allow access ancient vending machines. I like to sneak in a small chance of healing effects on the food items, along with the chance of poison or radiated fare.
Since I suck at coming up with names, I got an AI program to make me some nonsense names for what comes from the machines. (AI is certainly a god send for me, it can do the grunt work I hate to do)
This is the beta list, the one i will use at the con has the poison/rad/healing spread out randomly. If you desire some vending madness in you Post Apocalyptic world, enjoy the following chart.
