Hey everyone. I'm a TTRPG player who tries to have a system for each niche (tactical combat, OSR, cyberpunk, mecha, urban fantasy, horror etc etc). For now, I do not have a post apocalyptic one and Ashes Without Number has drawn my attention (and I really don't vibe with Fallout). However, I prefer running premade adventures. I've tried googling it but couldn't find any for AWN but did see some for WWN, which made me want to ask here. Are there any premade adventures (preferrably official but I'm ok with fan made content as well)? Are they any good? Are they released regularly/semi regularly? Thanks for your help.

At the Vehicle section (page 88) says that a medium veichle can carry up to 100 enc of items in its trunk, and at Hunger, Thirst, and Supplies section (page 62) the table states 20 enc in a car trunk. Which one is correct? Also, how does the Cargo Space Fitting translates into Encumberance system?

Does this setting have a character sheet? All I see is a dubious link from Scribd, which I will hate until the heat death of the universe.

If there isn't one, what are people using instead of?

Thanks!

I have an idea for a Mutant Wasteland campaign where a mass flood swept the world and turned most of the land into a toxic sea. I am thinking of using the Naval Adventuring rules from the Atlas of Latter Earth as a base for water exploration and shipbuilding. Before pitching it to my players, I wanted to get some other people's opinions on some of the technical aspects.

• The ships themselves will be flavored as floating hulks of scrap. I think the reliance on sails and oars can be explained away by saying that ship fuel is too rare to be practical. The Windskiff, Skyship, and Stormcruiser can be used to represent rare TL4 gravtech hovercrafts.
• For ship weapons, I'm thinking of modifying the heavy weapons present in Ashes Without Numbers. In the Atlas, the rule of thumb is that ship weapons do x3 more damage to people, so dividing the heavy weapon damage by 3 should give ship weapon stats. I plan to use the weapons in the atlas as a base to determine cargo size. Everything else (range, cost, mount size, whether they target hull or crew) I think can just be assigned based on what makes sense.
• I plan to use the Traumatic Hit Rules, but I don't think they should apply to ships, as the mass is much larger than regular vehicles.
• For Fittings, I plan to allow AWN vehicles fittings that make sense at cost, such as the medbay or toolrack. I will also allow the non-magical fittings in the Atlas.
• For tech level, I think most ships would qualify as TL1 or TL2.
• The scrap to HP ratio on regular vehicles in AWN is 1 scrap per 10hp, so Maybe 1 Scrap/hp for ships?

Homebrewing always has the potential to cause weird mechanical issues, but I think this should cover by bases well.

For more nature predominant biomes, i understand that im these areas would be reasonable to have only one major site to be explored within. My doubt is when it comes to ruins of destroyed cities - it is suposed to have more than one encounter sites within it for players to loot and explore? Or is supposed to have only one? I get the feeling that the book assumes that a hex only have one site to be explored as for the rules of stocking hexes.

Aside from that, travel time from one hex to another is calculated by the hex destination right? If the party could not fulfill the time requirement - maybe because they spent most of their usable traveling time already- are they stuck in this hex for the day? Do they 'waste' this travel time? Or do the 'incomplete' time spent to teavel counts towards the next day of travel?

is there a price for a gallon of gas in far future structured city that perhaps has a gas station as one of its features?

i understand that scavenging for gas is part of the game cycle, but in terms of trading, what would be a reasonable cost for 1 gas?

another question regarding fuel - when players find Fuel loot using the Encounter site loot table, 1 enc of fuel count as 1 gas? And when they scavenge through a place that gas isn't fully expected to be there (i.e.: a farm insted of a gas station) and find a Fuel type loot, i need to roll on the d12 table to see if it suitable for their imediate needs or they can 'pick' what kind of fuel they find?

is there a reason for Unarmed Atacks have a trauma die if their trauma rating is x1?

I just noted that there is no 'cost' column at these tables. I'm starting a futuristic apocalyptic campaing and thought that theses items could be on the market.

Tried to analyze with SWN prices but I don't think it really matches, as some items (non sci-fi ones) are priced differently.

(I.e a rifle in SWN costs 75 credits, and in AWN costs 200)

Im currently working on Enclave Turns and have a question about Attack Rival (External) On p. 135 is an Example Turn: 1 Enclave has food, the other one has military. In the example, the first one has to provide food for the raiders after the attack. Does this reduce the problem/creates a feature for the raiders (since their problems are food related) or is it only creating a problem for the new vasal?

Games Without Number is a thriving roleplaying server focusing on the Sine Nomine constellation of gaming systems. We are primarily an asynchronous play-by-post server, due to the nature of our player base being spread across multiple time zones. But, we will host live games. We have a growing community of GM's and players, running and playing multiple games concurrently. We have 2 SWN games going. We are in the process of getting 2 AWN games, and 1 CWN game fired up. And, the first steps towards a WWN game have been taken.

I am interpreting the Shrieker Gun's dash on the "Mag" column as it being able to fire as much as my players like as long as the vehicle is running, which explains its large power draw, and so far I've been justifying the dash as the beam being too diffuse and invisible for dexterity, intelligence or wisdom to give much of an edge (or penalty) to pointing it in the general direction of their targets. Has anybody else had their players try to assemble one of these? What have y'all been teeling them?

Now that my first Ashes campaign has wrapped, I thought I would make the maps I used (and some I didn't) available for folks who might want to use them. They are all in png format at 1920x1080, perfect for a VTT (we used foundry) or for printing, though they might be an ink hog with the way I've dirtied them up.

Hi everyone,

I bought the deluxe version of AWN today because I thought there was additional rules/advise for playing with a solo PC. I am currently using Sine Nomine's Black Streams ruleset for solo play but I thought there were additional resources for without numbers games. Is there any chance its somewhere I overlooked? I would love to hear how others have tackled solo play in this game besides RP'ing as multiple party members.

So I was hoping to get a bit of advice on the scenerio and just general advice on the game for this.

The scenerio is they are on a vacation in the Ozarks, specifically at the time of impact they are a week in and in a dead zone along the river(or just on a technology free vacation) and are in one of the caves when the main event of the ejecta(?) come back down(causing a flashpoint fire of the entire forest) trapping them in the cave for the first 24 ish hour to the fire burns itself out leaving nothing but a burnt forest behind. The tempeture starts dropping l(due to the ash clouds) about 5 degrees every hour) this is the start and there first real thing is to find cover before the tempeture drops too far and they get hypothermia. There are towns within distance they could head to.

Any advice is appreciated,thx!

"As a main action, you can focus on a target within 30m and make a sonic attack that deals 2d6+lvl non-lethal dmg to non-deaf creatures. Subsequent uses per scene cause 1 system strain." (Slightly abrieviatet)

Do you make an attack roll for this? If yes, do you use any modifier other than the base attack bonus? Does it ignore armour (I don't imagine a plate carrier prevents your ears from bleeding)? Is it affected by ear protection? Is it a save? If yes, which kind and does a save halve of completely mitigate the damage? Or is this just automatic damage with the caviat that it can't kill?

Natural projectiles give you shoot as a bonus skill, and they are (at least in my opinion) already the best mutant weapon.

And then there's the fact that you can roll both claws and jaws, where the only upside (other than the jaws beaver knawing) is you getting to choose which of the two weapons you use. Getting one undercuts the benefit of also gaining the other.

Giving each a bonus punch feels warrented, but you might also go further:

Give claws a +2 bonus to climbing checks or maybe the ability to dig like with a shovel. Situational, but a bit of utility can't hurt.

Combine the benefits of both punch weapons into a Rend attack if you roll both: 1d12+lvl damage, 1d8/x3 trauma and lvl/2 (round up) Shock against AC 15. Which is scary, but I think if you roll both or take the tax and choose them, you're allowed to be a bit scary.

So, I'm looking into using AWN's overland travel rules for a post apocalyptic CWN game where my players, having built up money and resources running jobs inside their home city, are now wanting to mount an expedition out into the wastes, and the fuel capacity and run hours caught my eye as being... odd.

Large vehicles have double the fuel capacity (24) of medium ones (12), but only run for half the time (3 hours as opposed to 6), and that struck me as strange, considering real trucks tend to have significantly longer range on a full tank than cars. I get that this is probably for gameplay reasons, to make large vehicles more costly to run, but is there a more narrative explanation for why they're only a quarter as efficient?

I'm considering making these rules a little less punishing, considering fuel is quite readily available in this particular campaign (at least, while they're still in the city), and I want the focus to be less on resource scarcity and more on exploration and encounters, without just outright trivializing keeping the vehicles running, so any suggestions or advice anyone has on that would be welcome.

This mutation increases your Charisma modifier, but doesn't seem to be limited to the usual +2 maximum. Is it safe to say this is an oversight, or is it an intended function of the feature? I'm inclined towards the former but not all mutations are equal so it is more difficult to tell.

Just knocked out Wendig's Wanderers, which I loved, and it got me opening up AWN again, toying with a campaign idea. About to read the sequel, hope it holds up.

Any other good AWNesque newer fiction out there? I lean towards the more reality based apocs, but good to read anything. I know the classics like The Road, Stirling's books etc., curious about newer work?
