Post Apocalyptic Vault Generator is a generic role playing game supplement published by Atelier Clandestin.
The supplement is available as an 11-page PDF from DriveThruRPG for $1.50 but was purchased at a reduced price thanks to a special discount. One page is the front cover, one the front matter and one the Credits.
General explains that Vaults were built before the War and that this is intended to provide more information on Vaults 123 through 222; other Vaults should be learned about from official databases. Those familiar with the Fallout series will know that the game has 122 Vaults. This has a set of tables for determining Vault number, location, door, what the interior looks like, power source and whether or not it is inhabited. It also has some details on structure, with Vaults following a fairly standard layout, which is covered.
People has tables for creating the Overseer and special dwellers.
Other has more details to create. Whether there is anything special about the Vault, whether or not it was intended for experimentation, what its planned opening date was and why it may have opened early.
Test Vaults looks at what the field of research conducted was, divided into medical, social and technological. Each field of research has tables to determine the type of research and positive or negative results from it.
Post Apocalyptic Vault Generator in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and, though short, has enough sections that these would have been useful. Navigation could be better. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of errors. There are a couple of black and white illustrations. Presentation is okay.
As might be guessed, this supplement is intended to generate Fallout-style Vaults, though it’s system agnostic. Though the Vaults can be dropped into other post-apocalyptic settings without too much trouble, they are definitely going to be generated along the lines of Fallout Vaults, rather than having much variation. Individually, they will vary, but within specific guidelines. This diminishes the flexibility a bit, though the supplement is still useful.
