He Was Scanning the Horizon Additional Details

I wrote a hex/pointcrawl generator at He Was Scanning The Horizon, for post-apocalyptic gonzo games. I recently removed the Hut on Stilts option, because I had another Lone Building option in there (replaced by a Rad Cultist Shrine, which should have like a 33% of having some Rad Cultists at it).

Then you know, if you roll up a tiny micro-village or a hermit in a lone building, you need something to make the hermit interesting. A micro-village would have some kind of defense mechanism to prevent random T-Rexes from eating everyone.

What's In That Lone Dwelling?

1. Sage
2. Weird loner hermit
3. Psycho
4. Mutant family who emit death field. 33% cannibals
5. Abandoned / occupants killed
6. AI and robot squad

How does this village defend itself?

1. Force field and kerosene generator
2. Sonic screamer fence
3. Robot soldiers 3d20, fit in 1-3 shipping containers when folded up
4. Magic! Bunch of warlocks from Encounter Critical. Or if you can't look this up, they summon 20' pits and hurl lightning (2d6 dmg)
5. Pet blood dragon
6. Village is mobile, has fast escape vehicles
7. Mobile village, floats up
8. Steel bubble swings up from ground
9. Nuke and mutually assured destruction
10. Actually a hologram, displaced and hidden
11. Robot police enforce ancient laws, recharge in crumbling Poli Stati
12. Orbital laser, only covers a 400' square foot area, in which the villagers dwell. Highly accurate, does 12d8 damage on a full blast.

If magic is too gonzo, just say the villagers have gene-locked Lasguns that can dig out a 20' pit really quickly. PCs could capture one, and maybe a sage could figure out how to gene-therapy the PC into being able to use it.
