1* FridgeBrilliance: The core mechanic of "pick 1 option out of 3 if you roll 7-9" actually deliberately underscores the CentralTheme of the game: extreme scarcity in a post-apocalyptic world (you can never have everything you want). It's one of the most subtle examples of Baker's adherence to Creator/TheForge's philosophy that often goes lost in the UsefulNotes/PoweredByTheApocalypse hacks, which adopt the mechanic that's rooted in scarcity mindset without regard of how it fits with their own themes.
