Random Events

The following are ideas from the core rule book:
1. Counterfeits Be alert when accepting Nuka-Cola caps for payment from those you don’t trust! Counterfeited versions have been spotted in and around the Cazadores area. These caps seem like the real thing, but are spotted easily by knowledgeable traders, and worthless.
2. Sunset Sarsaparilla A root-beer flavored drink that got so popular the man- ufacturer soon diversified into automation and robotics, Sunset Sarsaparilla is one of the few soft drink companies Bradberton was unable to buy up or drive out of business. Instead, they released Nuka-Cola Wild, a root beer that never quite captured significant market share from the competitors. Bottles of Sunset Sarsaparilla are common in the West, and their caps serve the same purpose as Nuka-Cola caps in many economies.
3. Liberty Prime A prototype, unique combat robot built by RobCo for the U.S. Army, this juggernaut was built to drive the Red Chinese out of Anchorage, Alaska during the Sino- American War. This 40-foot, heavily armed and armored, war machine was built to deliver withering fire simultaneous with patriotic pro-USA propaganda. However, its combat subroutines were still buggy by the time regular U.S. troops in T-51b Power Armor successfully liberated the city.
Afterward, the prototype was brought to Boston, where it sat uncompleted until the Brotherhood of Steel located both its chassis and its design specs. Over decades, they restored it to functionality, and may even have brought its weapons systems online. What a fully operational Liberty Prime might do to the balance of power in the Commonwealth and surrounding areas is anybody’s guess.
