Default And One More (random vehicle generator)

Another tool that no one asked for but I wrote anyway:

The all-new random vehicle generator for starting PC teams.

Includes most vehicles in the v2 American, Soviet, and NATO Combat Vehicle Handbooks that would have a reasonable chance of appearing in Poland and being PC-usable. For extra fun, I also added a few vehicles whose v2 stats appeared in Challenge, as well as appropriate items that I statted up in my LAV-25 file, Pacific Northwest, and Tara Romanaesca.

Now your randomly-generated PCs can ride around the apocalypse in randomly-generated style.

Have fun, drive defensively, and report any bugs here.

Not a bug, but I found it amusing when I generated a motor pool with a pair of 5-ton trucks, one with the fire-resistant quirk and the other with the constant minor fires quirk. I know which one I'd rather be in...

Default Vehicle Generator

I agree-very nice. Lots of variety, good quirky details as well and a nice addition to the toolbox.

Ahoy, comrades! The vehicle generator now includes selected watercraft from the v2.0/2.2 core book, the Nautical/Aviation Handbook, The Pacific Northwest, Tara Romanaesca, and the sailing article in Challenge #60.

(This update also fixes a bug which was preventing some lower-probability vehicles from ever being rolled, and pushes out a bunch of incremental additions to the vehicle name tables.)

Minor update pushed to the site today: if you turn on random cargo, vehicles with usable cargo capacity now have a chance of carrying goods that look more like actual cargo than a post-apocalyptic yard sale.

A couple of recent updates to this one:

- Added selected civilian vehicles at the lower end of the vehicle tables.
- Added an option for generating a list of only vehicles and names.
- Ongoing incremental additions to the name lists.
- Minor bug fixes.
