The Last Drinks is a post-apocalyptic drinking establishment, built on an old water filtration plant which once graced the shore of a sea. It borders the Glowing Sea, and is often used as a point to meet other adventurers for missions off into the wastes. There is a tradition that those who are about to head off on an expedition, take a Polaroid together and tack it to the wall. If they do, their last drink is free (no doubles). Any who return and can prove their identity, are promised their first drink free. The wall bears many, many, photos, and rarely have the faces featured in the photos returned.
The Last Drinks is also used by locals, contemptuous of the swaggering adventurers. It's run by Bullet, a hard-as-nails redhead who wouldn't blink in the face of a mushroom cloud, and takes absolute care of her employees. The services offered include drinks, food, and companionship, but woe to anyone who disrespects her staff. People who offend get a range of punishments, from cleaning out the Brahmin sheds for a day, to being carried out the back and catching a slug in the back of the head. Bullet offers an open bounty on any power cells that get brought back, which includes entertainment, food, and drinks on the house for a full day. How you can use The Last Drinks in your game: - Low-level adventurers might be asked to escort supplies out to The Last Drinks, where they might have an opportunity to meet other adventurers, trade their junk, find some work, and step out into the far wastes themselves, if they'd like. - For a post-apocalyptic West Marches style game, The Last Drinks is an ideal base to use. Adventurers can meet up, compare maps, share knowledge, and set out together, in the hopes of scoring free drinks when they get back. Whether they survive the gang of bandits who prey on fresh explorers relies entirely on their own luck. - Adventurers who discover Bullet's deal with the gang of bandits are likely to stomp in looking for trouble. She's happy to explain the arrangement that means they don't target her bar, and where exactly all the useful equipment they just bought here came from. If they want to start a fight, most of her loyal customers will side with her, and the PCs will lose a safe point. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 3 January 2019. Comments are closed.
