22 Quick Questions For Your Post-Apocalyptic Campaign Setting

When prepping for my Don't Mess With Wrexus game after a two-month hiatus, I realized that the PCs will have some serious questions to which I don't have answers.

Case in point, just how is Android B-Zero going to repair that significant structural damage? It's not like he can just saunter into Radio Shack.   (Heh.  Like anyone ever goes to Radio Shack.)


HIS WRATH WILL BE SEVERE.

But my knob goes to 22, y'all.  And I'll answer them in a subsequent post.
