This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Greetings.
I am currently creating a custom rpg based on the VTM system and while creating the lore for it have come across a little bit if a lore problem.

Basically i need a building material which is both resistant to acid and radiation, currently the closest i have is titanium and certain titanium alloys but was wondering if anybody knows if there is any better material that fits this criteria.

Thank you in advance :)

Ceramic with lead or depleted uranium mixed in?

Mix zeolite into cement. Zeolite would be easy to find, loot all the stores of all the clumping cat litter you can find. Then pour your structure either a whole or in pieces. When the structure is dry, paint it with a chemical resistant paint.

Water ice.

The ice when melted by acid becomes liquid which dilutes and neutralizes the acid. Water has hydrogen atoms which are very good at thermalizing neutrons and absorbing both gamma and beta radiation.

In a pod cast I listened to about colonizing Mars, one suggestion was that waste water could be the easy solution for a radiation shield. Also, many plastics are resistant to acid. Even materials that aren't particularly resistant to acid (concrete) will still have a pretty long life span unless its raining pure acid from the skies, at which point everything will be dead anyway.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_protection that might help. Another option depending on your settings technology/fantasy factor is to just make something up or just establish things as being that way. Using the fallout series as an example you have lots of stuff sitting around in a toxic wasteland for 100+ years and you can scrounge it an use it. Most items would need at least some maintenance (fresh paint, sheltered from elements, engines occasionally started) to actually function.
