Bunker 13: The EVENT, by Simon Palmer.

Bunker 13: The EVENT

You are the controller of Bunker 13, one of a string of bunkers designed for short term protection.
After the EVENT occurred, survivors rushed to these bunkers for protection, the blast doors locking
firmly shut behind. As the controller, it is up to you to decide how best to survive long enough to safely
reopen the locked bunker doors and return outside. If the survivors leave early you will have failed.
Within the bunker there are 30 survivors, including engineers, caterers, medical technicians, unskilled
civilians, and your personal security staff. Beginning with Security, roll a single D6 and write down
the result in “Fine” under Security. Then do the same with Engineers, Medical and Catering. Count
the total of all 4, and minus the number from 30 to find out how many ‘Unskilled’ you have available.
For example if you have 3 of each Security, Engineers, Medical and Catering, you will have 18
Unskilled (3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12. 30-12 = 18).

After making note of your staff, you move on to supplies and counters. Unfortunately, deliveries have
been inconsistent since the EVENT and therefore you will need to ration your supplies. You begin with
200 crates of food, 3d6 crates of medical supplies and 1D6 spare parts. Note these in the Bunker
Status on the next page. Fortunately, moral is currently high amongst the survivors and there are no
obvious signs of illness or disease amongst those that have entered. Place a ‘0’ in these boxes.

As controller, each week (turn) you will need to follow 1-5 below, beginning at 1:

1. Roll Sickness: 1d6 per survivor group. On a 5 or 6, move one survivor to the ‘sick’ category.
THEN. Lose one medicine per ‘Sick’ survivor divided by number of ‘Fine’ or ‘Sick’ medical staff to a
minimum of 1 (round up). If you have enough medicine, move Sick survivors from one group to ‘Fine’.
OR roll 1d6 per ‘Sick’ survivor. On a 5 or 6, the survivor is ‘lost’.
2. Roll Disease: 1d6 + Disease counter. On a 7 or higher, downgrade 2 survivors in each group to
‘Sick’ from ‘Fine’ or ‘Lost’ from ‘Sick’. THEN add 1 to the disease counter for every 3 ‘Lost’ survivors.
3. Roll Moral: 1D6 + ‘Lost’ Weapons counter + Moral Loss counter – Security. On a 7+ the survivors
overpower security and leave the bunker early, failing your mission.
4. Rationing food supplies: Each week decide whether to ration food and follow the effects below:
Normal Rations Strict Rations Harsh Rations
-1 Food per (alive) survivor -0.5 Food per (alive) survivor -0.5 Food per (alive) survivor
Divide total by 2 if 2+ Catering Divide total by 4 if 3+ Catering Divide total by 3 if 3+ Catering
Divide total by 2 if 1-3 Catering Divide total by 2 if 1-3 Catering
+1 Moral Loss +3 Moral Loss & +2 Disease
THEN Move any survivors that do not get food rations for that week from Healthy to Sick and from
Sick to Lost. Note: ‘Sick’ survivors still perform jobs as a ‘Fine’ survivor.
5. Weekly event: Roll 2D6 and follow the table below. As the dice land, use the leftmost dice number
for the row and rightmost for the column. The numbers represent passage numbers, read these, and
follow the instructions within to find out what happened each week, make any changes, add 1 to the
‘Weekly counter’ then return to 1 above. Read numbers should be crossed out as events can only
happen once each with the exception of passage numbers 1, 6,31 and 36. Where events ask for a
random Survivor, roll 1D6 and count from Security to Unskilled. Reroll on a 6.
