This is admittedly a shameless plug, as I wrote it myself. I haven't even used it, which is kinda sad. But someone here is bound to be playing Gamma World or something similar. This table should be good for that.
Unsurprisingly, I was inspired to create this after watching Mad Max: Fury Road in theaters.
