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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Inspired by @dicegoblin.blog, the Devil Horns camp is a known rest spot to veteran Skrappers. I love when adventures provide named hirelings/followers, so I figured a campsite would be a great place for the PCs to happen across such folks.

Second of all, there's a secret 6th art that's my absolute favorite, but I'm not home to take a picture of it.
