Gone Fishing

Besides algae and plankton processing some denizens of the drowned world opt for a much more dangerous form of food gathering. Fishing can be dangerous, with mutant sea life, rogue forgotten sea cleaning bots from the before time, and toxic fiends lurking beneath the waves. But for the seasoned fisherman, the risk is well worth the reward.

Fishing Game

Place a cup in the middle of the table and have the player who is fishing overhand throw their d12 into the cup. If the dice land inside the cup consult the I Think We Have a Big One table if it lands outside the cup consult the Pass Me Another Beer Table.
