Wasteland Wares is crammed full of content, including a large variety of equipment, new player options, and a host of rules aimed at facilitation post-apocalyptic play. Although designed for use in post-apocalyptic campaign settings, a lot of the content within can be utilised in modern, science-fiction, and in some cases even fantasy worlds with minimal to no conversion effort.

A compendium of riches and rust.

The primary function of Wasteland Wares is to act an inventory of post-apocalyptic equipment and rules supporting their use in your homebrew campaign worlds and pre-published settings. You could also use much of the content in other kinds of futuristic setting.

Wasteland Wares contains:

Guidance on the Wasteland economy, power sources, damage types, and resource scarcity.

Rules for handling radiation, ammo tracking, equipment breakdowns, loot rewards, and randomly generating loot.

New post-apocalyptic paths!

Hello, really enjoy this resource, as well as the others in your Wasteland series, but I had a question about one of the weapon mods in this supplement. Under the "Hardened Receiver" mod, it says the weapon does +1 damage per damage die rolled, does this increase with a crit or does it only go off the base number of dice? Thank you!

PUBLISHER

Hi Austin,

The +1 also applies to extra dice rolls for a critical hit as those are still considered weapon damage dice. It does not apply to class features that add extra damage dice on top of the weapon, such as the Scoundrel's Sneak Attack or the Scout's Enhance Damage.

Thank you for the speedy response! One more question for you as it just came up in the game I'm running. On page 51 underneath the "Chem Cook" archtype of the scientist, there's mention of a "dazed" condition under the Mind Muddler quickbrew. I can't find mention of this condition anywhere else in the resource. I also feel like you mentioned something about it in a previous comment or something of the like to someone else, but I can't remember or find it if that's the case.

Thanks for flagging this. I checked and while there was a description of dazed it is in Wasteland Wares and is really buried in the text, within the description of Hallucinogenic Gas.

The next version of both Wasteland Wanderers and Wasteland Wares will add a sidebar describing this condition, the effect of which is disadvantage on attack rolls and saving throws (mechanically it's the same consequence as being poisoned, only the cause of the disadvantage is from mental befuddlement rather than physical sickness).

Disadvantage on all ability checks also makes the "disadvantage on social ability checks" currently described in Mind Muddler's effects redundant. That will also be fixed in the next update of Wasteland Wanderers, along with errata to the Mind Clouding Syringe and Hallucinogenic Gas in Wasteland Wares.

In order to play this do I also need D&D 5e rule book?

Hi Travis,

Wasteland Wares is *not* a complete game, so yes you will need some other stuff to make use of its content. Wasteland Wares includes supplemental rules for the 5e game, specifically being a guide to post-apocalyptic equipment, goods, and services. There are some player options, but aside from one new class most of these options are new archetypes for classes in another book in this series: Wasteland Wanderers. I recommend that Wasteland Wanderers and Wasteland Wares be paired, but if you have an alternative source of 5e-compatible player options that will work for your setting, Wasteland Wares will still have a lot of content you can use.

You will need access to the 5e rules, since the books in the Wasteland line don't reproduce the core rules that govern the 5e game or the tools you need to run it. They just address specific new rules you can add for post-apocalyptic play. In addition to 5e rules you will also need access to 5e monster statblocks, as our book of enemies...See more

POD of both wasteland products?

Yo love your content, however why must you format your pdfs to landscape view? I find it difficult to read. Do you ever plan on changing the format to page view? Its cool if you don't. Also I'm working on a middle modern fantasy/ post apocalyptic setting thats overall goal is to be weird and cheesy as possible, but compelling lore for the world.... definitely not converting bigfoot into a playable race XD

PURCHASER

...maybe more weird than cheesy, but your work is ideal for the setting

The scout and the shepard are easily my favorite classes in the guide

Hey! Sorry for the late reply, I didn't get a notification for this on my account for some reason.

I switched to landscape a long time back after realising that the normal use case for my pdfs will be electronic - portrait is fine for printed books, but landscape is more ideal for a screen (whether reading at your desktop, running a game from a laptop, or a tablet in landscape mode) because you can set the zoom level to have the entire page in your window and not need to scroll up and down as you read the columns.

I appreciate there might be reasons why this isn't ideal for everyone, of course. But on the whole, I think it's a more practical choice. If I got a considerable amount of negative feedback I might change it, but so far this has been the only complaint!

I'm glad you like and are getting use out of these products, anyway! I have two more planned: Wasteland Woes (monsters, natural hazards, traps) and Wasteland Wheels (vehicles) though it will likely be some time...See more

For the benefit of anyone considering this product who might be put off by the landscape format mentioned in these prior comments, the current version is in fact portrait (check the previews!)
