I was idly pondering about the potential for hidden tunnels that may have been used by the ghetto inhabitants that may be rediscovered by any PCs looking around Podgórze as well as the potential uses of the quarry (considering it is filled with trees and ponds but could still be mined for stone... or have tunnels dug). https://plus.google.com/101167496228...ut?gl=au&hl=en
Nice find! I’m going to GM “Free city of Krakow” this august.

All areas south of the Wisla river have been abandoned. (ORMO doesn’t have resources to pacify and defend southern parts of city.)

It was Novy Huta (ten kilometers east) that was devastated with three 20 kt nukes.

Hmm… Wealthy merchant hiring players to do “gunpoint gentrification”???
