d100 Tube Line Discoveries





































To compliment the last post geomorphs and tables here is a bunch of strange stuff you can use to fill out your tube crawl. You could also have tubes on pylons at various pylons through and over a ruined city. Might have more flying mutants, plants and gangs than below and possibly more settlements using structures to fortify. This table and last one should provide a few sessions of shenanigans. Let me know if you had any luck with them.
