Big Brown

"The Guns are cheap, the place is a dump, and the booze taste's like gasoline.....but, it's home."
Name: Big BrownPopulation: Around 170 Humans and GhoulsLocation: East Texas 2 days walking distance East of Buckettown
General Info:
Before the war, Big Brown was a fairly intricate coal mine located near Tyler, TX. Nowadays, it’s one big slum. When the bombs fell, many people in East Texas looked for sturdy underground shelters in which to hide, Big Brown proved to be a good location for such a place. After the war, the mine became a permanent residence for those not willing to venture out onto the irradiated surface, the men and women there stayed in the mine hoping that it would be a safe home.
Almost 200 years later, Big Brown has evolved into a large yet very poor community; there are over 150 humans and ghouls residing in Big Brown struggling to make a living. The Cave network has been excavated further and is now lined with makeshift shacks, shops and markets, the community has managed to use the coal at its disposal to make a crude electrical system that illuminates the otherwise dark cavern.The space in Big Brown is very cramped and semi-dark, the thin air is damp musty and plagued with a strong smell.The four most important buildings and landmarks in the community are: The STOP Exchange/Charlie’s bar, Martha’s Supply Shack, the common house, the mayor’s office and the main gate.
