SCORPION GULCH
Scorpion Gulch its a bump on the map west of Las Vegas. It was founded buy the One Tusker Family 50 years ago buy Oswalt "Ozzy" One Tusker. He found the abandoned airport with his wife and the "Pig Pen" his modified Coachman RV.
Now the Town boast 50 people with there own trailers and and RVs. They boast the largest tire pile in a 500 mile area....and have a working crop duster ( with a pilot). The town has converted one of the hangers into a town / mess hall where they gather nightly to have dinner. They make a decent trade buy scouting the ruins of Las Vegas and the surrounding area. A small tribe of Free Plains Cattle is there biggest ally in the area.

I like this.

Sounds good. Although I think Rattlesnake Jake may be trademarked as a character from the Rango movie.

I'll Think it will be ok as long as i don't make a rattle snake with a chain gun ....but i might change him to a gilla monster ...he is supposed to be the wondering swordsman / ancient master of the area ...

as a bonus I completely for got about the worm fields ....I got the idea from mutants down under ..'giant rad worms the size of jumbo jets that the town hunts for food. It allows the towns carnivore and insectavores a food source out in the middle of nowhere

only other thing (and this is just me personally). Ever since seeing Motel Hell I've been terribly afraid of pig people.

There sorta suppose to be ....creepy.... but in you just got to get to know them kinda way ...like Grannie is in her 80s and Yoda's her way thru things ..

What do you think of making the town partly radioactive...and that the pigs immune to it are living on it?

There aren't many better ways to protect your home than that

Depends, you have to make sure everyone KNOWS how dangerously radioactive it is, otherwise raiders can still sweep in, kill everyone, and be days or weeks later before they die of radiation poisoning. That and what if the attackers are also radiation immune pigs?

What is he wondering about? You mean 'wandering swordsman,' right?

I like the setting and characters. It would be a fun place to have an 'old west' adventure for my group. Can you give a short list of HL&S?

Sorry yeah it suppose to be wandering ....my bad ....as for HL&S ? Don't know what that is
