Goods, Gear and Electronics

In Terota there is a variety of gear and manufactured goods that wouldn't be found in most other realms. This article contains a long list of items a player character may be able to find or purchase that could serve a niche into what they may want to accomplish, or as additional flavor added for their character like a cherished tape player or for a radio station they listen to before going to bed. Most of these goods can be found in the realms more resilient cities, where modern amenities are maintained and their industrial base intact for the most part. However, their price may vary depending on which location, as some places like Puerto Esperanza may have radios at market price and potentially even below on refurbished products, cities like Kaitia struggle to import electronics for consumer use due to embargo's and merchants may charge much more for the same thing. This especially applies to settlements within the ruins of the Arenian homeland, where people struggle to survive in the face of harsh challenges imposed upon them in the post-war world, an establishment maintaining a radio would be the hangout spot for the entire settlement. Assuming they even have electricity to turn it on in the first place.

Saskan Electrónica

The Saskan Electronics company was one of the most prolific consumer electronics company in the pre-war era. Similar to Sony in real life, Saskan was the household name for all sorts of media, primarily in audio, but also dabbled in a little bit of everything. Although the company's original executive staff was vaporized along with most of their assets when the bombs dropped, people who refurbish or remake their products refer to them as a Saskan. Partially for the sake of applying a facade of pre-war normalcy to their lives, and also because of how dominant the name was with electronic products. The company exists in spirit with a shop and office in Puerto Esperanza that has their old bright snake logo and name on a Munrio owned establishment that produces a fraction of the productivity that old Saskan shops once could.
 

O-10 Home Radio

A home radio can pick up FM radio signals that are transmitted within a range of up to 20 miles, 10 miles in dense urban areas with channels starting from 87.5 - 108 MHz (FM). Needs a power source and outlet to plug into in order to be operable. Being decently large to take a prominent spot in a living room or bar, the O-10 is designed for clarity and volume. A range booster is optional.
Cost: 50
 

O-11 Portable Radio

The O-11 is a solar-charging OI battery powered portable radio for the farmer on the field or traveler on the road. It has a modest range of 15 miles out in the open and 8 miles in dense urban, hilly, or mountainous areas. Battery life of 6 hours.

SRC-200 Manpack Mobile Communications Radio

  This radio can be equipped in place of a backpack and has three slots in it, with one being a open comm wide range radio. Its range outside of urban centers is about 20 miles without its antenna pack, with it being about 11 miles in a hilly, mountainous or urban environment. It has a 12hr battery, as it's expected to be off until it really needs to be used, or plugged into a power source. With its antenna pack deployed, it consumes an extra hour of energy from the battery, and boosts its range to an average of about 32 miles and potentially more depending on terrain.
Encryption Module: A radio with the same key coded Encryption Module is able to pick up the signal with clarity. Radios without it only see and hear background static.

Onda Sonora Portable Music Player

This music player was a common choice for pre-war society before the advent of digital consumer products was abruptly stopped by nuclear war. It was a two in one recorder and tape player for recording audio on a blank cassette tape, and listening to music on one from a music label or someone's garage recording. Usually sold with a pair of headphones, it also has limited use as a covert recording device in case you would want to blackmail someone. It also has use in recording conversations, in case something needs to be brought up in court or to simply be remembered later. A typical cassette tape can record material up to 60 minutes, split up between the A and B sides. If you would want to record more than 30 minutes it would have to be switched manually or else it will automatically stop. Would have its own integral speaker for open listening.
Cost: 150
Blank Cassette: 5
Album Cassette: 10

Onda Sonora OS-100 Record Player

The record player remains one of the most used mediums for playing music and recording music with because of the vinyl discs longevity. A cassette would deteriorate in a number of years, but someone finding an intact vinyl still in it's sleeve in a ruin would likely be able go back home and play the album front to back. Naturally because of that, many people who would own a music player prefer the OSR and a refurbished speaker system. There are also modest bounties out for people to find old albums of pre-war bands and musicians.
Cost: 100
Blank Vinyl: 10
Album: 15
Speakers: 50 Each
 

Onda Sonora OS-1000

It's powered by its own OI battery with a battery life of around 4 hours, however it can be plugged into a power source to preserve battery life when not on the move. It also comes with a radio range of 12 miles out in the open and 7 miles in dense urban, hilly, or mountainous areas
Cost: 300
Weight: 10.5lbs
 

Pik 10

Translated to snap, the Pik 10 was the first instant snapshot camera to be manufactured widely enough for easier public access powered by it's own OI battery. It features a light bulb and makes a loud snap sound as the name would suggest. The film would then need to be developed in a darkroom in order for it to be processed and show the image. Its archaic design and specifications make it relatively cheap, and its bright flash will reveal you and illuminate things in its range for an instant.

Arte 40E Digital Camera

After finishing up orders from the Imperial Military to make sets of TV cameras for weapons and vehicles, they applied this new technology to the civilian market. They invented sets of digital cameras for live Broadcasts, cinema and even home use. It wouldn’t find a bustling market however as mobilization for war would reduce the amount of people even thinking about getting what was seen merely as a nifty trinket. Discouraging further production, and when the bombs dropped, along with many other Saskan Electronics products, people forgot how to reproduce them, if not then had no motivation to preserve or reinvent their schematics. Some are rumored to have been found in time capsules often, but because of the personal and emotional nature of them, it’s usually returned to the survivors of the family who buried it. If there are any, of course. It has a recording time of up to 4 hours per disk, full color at 480p.

Munrio Robotics

The infamous tech giant use to be a pioneer in cybernetics, automated tools for factories, AI engineering, drones and computers for commercial and military use. Now disgraced after the ITZAMNA Supercomputer of the Sanctuary Cities were either tampered with or became violent on their own, they haven’t had the assets nor capital to make anything new in the post-war era. Now only a glorified repair and refurbishment company of their old equipment and a manufacturer of spare parts to extend the lifetime of their products.  

T-70 Personal Computer

The T-70 is the standard computer product contained in beige plastic or metallic metal cases. Visuals on screen are displayed in different shades of green with a black background. The T-70 is capable in completing complex equations and problems, data recording and is programmable by the user so that it could be used in an array of different roles. If connected to an Infored Network, it could also receive data transmissions from other computers and radios that have access to that network such as emails, audio files and accessible archives. The T-70 provides a +1 to Intelligence checks for the Research downtime, and reduces the time needed to complete Reverse Engineering and research for Inventions by 1 workweek. This effect cannot stack past the amount of engineers assigned to a project. For example if there’s three engineers and four computers, it will only reduce three workweeks as one computer is left unused. Engineers and scientists can also provide their own intellectual labor remotely to a project as long as they have access to the same Infored Network. Must be plugged into an outlet.
Cost: 500
Weight: 17lbs
 

T-80E Personal Computer

The T-80E was one of the last commercial computer products that the Munrio company would work on being shunted into bankruptcy limbo. The T-80E would feature an RGB CRT screen, a user-friendly OS with pre-programmed applications and icons with an archive browser. On top of that, it would be built with more powerful processing chips as the company's understanding of computers would mature. The T-80E provides a +2 to Intelligence checks for the Research downtime, and reduces the time needed to complete Reverse Engineering and research for Inventions by 2 workweeks. This effect cannot stack past the amount of engineers assigned to a project. For example if there’s three engineers and four computers, it will only reduce six workweeks as one computer is left unused. Engineers and scientists can also provide their own intellectual labor remotely to a project as long as they have access to the same Infored Network. Must be plugged into an outlet.

ITZAMNA Supercomputer and Artificial Intelligence

The ITZAMNA supercomputer, which stood for Intelligence Technology to Unite the Munrio Neural Algorithms, was not only the pride and joy of the company, but a touted achievement for the Empire as a whole. ITZAMNA was in a way, a rebuttal to the Shardian philosophy, theory and practical application of technology which was integration of it into their society and live on a more equal level to help in their religious pursuit of knowledge and science. In contrast ITZAMNA couldn’t speak, and was an extremely powerful central computer to the Shardai decentralized Antrajaal network. ITZAMNA would help to create models and simulations at the order of scientists in Puerto Esperanza as a servant, while also serving as the assistant to the City Administrator and was also installed in the two other Sanctuary cities of I-3 and Stalowy Duch before they went rogue. It’s rumored that other ITZAMNA models may exist surviving the nuclear apocalypse, dormant within bunkers, waiting to be turned on once more. Because of that, there are lucrative bounties out both for their destruction and recovery. An ITZAMNA if found can offer the following boons: Reducing the Research downtime to a maximum of 1 hour.
ITZAMNA can accurately answer questions related to statistics, civics, engineering, mathematics, science, and pull up any information it has access to in its archives. Complex and Accurate Simulations: Reduces Reverse Engineering and Invention design time by half the workweeks required.
Predictive Calculative Ability for Commercial, Science, Labor, and Scavenger Units. Letting them reroll a failed check for free if they have had access to ITZAMNA before starting a task.
Bounty for Retrieval: 2,500,000 from the Dvaar Forge
Bounty for Destruction: 5,000,000 from Dita Security
 

Tormenta Utilities

Tormenta was a much lesser known name in households as they primarily dedicated their designs to industrial work, tools and anything else that could be utilized for productivity. So most people know them for their flashlights.

Ministry of Atomic Energy & Chemical Plant Protective Gear

In a world full of radioactive material and chemical production, it’s only natural that there would be an abundant amount of ways to help protect yourself from these hazards. Designs from the Ministry of Atomic Energy and from disparate chemical plants are still used to this day, with some variants for different specific purposes.  

R-15 Hazard Suit

This dark green colored suit made of rubber with rubber boots is worn on a creature with a rubber hood and is good to wear with a Gas Mask. It separates them from chemical and biological hazards in an area like with disease or contamination from other substances and lead plates protect them from passive radiological hazards. Can be worn with light armor but no other armor. If you take any amount of slashing or piercing damage the suit is compromised and can not completely protect you and the holes must be patched at the very least. Cost: 150
Weight: 7lbs
 

G-30 Gas Mask

This reinforced rubber mask with a glass visor is strapped on the face of a creature. They may breathe in hostile air environments like in the effects of the spell Cloudkill without needing to make a saving throw for 8 hours within that environment per filter.

Saskan-Atomica RAD-500 Ionized Particle Detector

The RAD is a radiation detector in short. Able to alert the user to radiation levels that may start to exceed tolerable amounts by making sharp and unpleasant clicking noises, encouraging the user to leave any area that causes those noises. It starts making warning noises once it begins clicking at 1 millisievert (mSv) per hour, increasing the intervals of the warnings as the amount goes up to a maximum of 500 millisievert per hour. Making it an expensive but necessary piece of equipment for traveling in Conión and other ruins that permeate with radioactive particles. The main body is made of stamped aluminum and meant to be held with one hand carrying the box and another hand one waving the actual detector tube. Cost: 100
Weight: 3.5lbs
Battery Life: 50 hours.
 

Ministry of Peace Security and Espionage Devices

The Ministry of Peace in their effort to stop insurgent movements from spiraling out of control and spying on their enemies, they have made a variety of gadgets for their agents to use on the field and to also distribute security technologies, some of which that aren't listed like metal detectors.  

OJ-1

This covert listening device is a relatively small bug that could be hidden behind objects, under tables in cabinets, or even implanted in walls given enough time. It’s a small black box, with a microphone and transmits up to very high frequency. It is a 3.5”x4” inch box that takes a DC 15 investigation check to find. DC 20 if able to be discreetly implanted in a wall. Battery life of 20 days. Alternatively it can siphon power from another power source if installed.
Range: 1 mile.
Weight: .5lbs
Cost: 200
 

OJ-2

A smaller and more advanced listening device. It's 2.5”x3” inch box that takes a DC 20 investigation check to find. DC 25 if able to be discreetly implanted in a wall. Battery life of 40 days. Alternatively it can siphon power from another power source if installed.
Range: 1 Mile
Weight: .25lbs
Cost: 2,500
 

Tulaojo CCTV

These cameras can be installed in a building with power connected to a monitor. At maximum, 4 cameras can be connected to one monitor to display black and white video with no audio captured by the cameras at once. Splitting into four sections on the screen. These can be placed to watch entrances and exits for intruders and to monitor points of interest. More monitors would be needed for more cameras.
Cost: 100
Monitor Cost: 300
 

Cambya Bug Finder

Naturally, as the Ministry of Peace made a tool, their opponents would make one back. The Bug Finder was first cobbled together by anti-imperial groups in the peninsula to better detect if they were being spied on or not. It’s a highly sensitive device that would detect radio frequencies being transmitted in specific spots, so if the person using the bug finder would pan over the OJ-1 or OJ-2 they would get a spike in the radio waves detected, as long as something like a microwave isn’t interfering. Offering a +10 bonus to Investigation checks to find bugs and listening devices.
Cost: 50

Martillo y Calvo Workshop Gear

Martillo y Calvo was a huge producer of commercial and industrial gear for workshops and factories no matter how big or small.  

MC Passive Welders Mask

Never go anywhere around your workshop without a Martillo y Calvo welders mask and protect your eyes and face from workplace hazards! You can safely use an Arc Welder without permanently blinding yourself or trying to weld with your eyes closed. On top of that you are immune to being Blinded by bright lights, however the visor is so dark the user can effectively see up to 15ft in front of them while lowered.
Cost: 40
Weight: 2lbs
 

MC Auto Darkening Mask

Have more efficiency at the workplace or the combat zone with the MC Auto Dark Mask and never need to lift your visor to check your work again! Like the Passive Welder, you’re immune to getting Blinded by bright lights. Since the visor adjusts to light level it can then go back to a clear visor mode to see through normally with no penalty. Battery powered, and can be recharged using solar energy.
Cost: 550
Weight: 2.5lbs
 

MC-100 Arc Welder

Can be used to cut and weld together pieces of metal, when using a battery and not plugged into a power supply at a workshop, it uses one charge per 1ft of depth and length to cut or weld together. For example if a character decides to weld a door shut using scrap metal they found and fusing it onto the door and door frame and does it for about 5ft, it takes about ten charges and will take five minutes to do so. To weld metal in a 5x5ft area would take 25 charges and around ten minutes. The bigger the weld or cut the bigger the time and cost to do so.
Special: The MC-100 can be used as an Improvised Melee Weapon, when you make an attack it does 2d8 fire damage and causes Major Injuries. As an action you can use the Arc Welder to cause “Arc Flash” at a creature within melee range and force them to make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature is blinded until the end of their next turn.
Recharge (15), Armor Piercing (5)
Cost: 550

Miscellaneous Items

Items that don't fit neatly into some sort of category or manufacturer.  

Fire Extinguisher

As an action, you can expend a use of the extinguisher to create a 15 foot cone of misty air which lasts for 6 seconds, snuffing out any unenhanced fires within range. Additionally, each creature within range must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is blinded until the start of their next turn. Ammunition (10).
Cost: 40
Weight: 7lbs
 

Explosive Detonators

There are two main types of remote detonators, a radio detonator and wired detonator. These are often used for mining as well as saboteur work or traps. It would be otherwise impossible to initiate explosions from certain types of bombs without one, or at least stupidly dangerous to do so.  

Wired Detonator

A wired detonator is mostly self explanatory. The explosive device is connected via copper wire down to the detonator, usually a blasting box, where an electrical signal is sent down the wire to initiate the explosion from a safe distance. The distance in which it can be detonated is only limited to the blasting wire, up to 1000ft, but it can be traced back to the operator. The detonator is so cheap and simple, a savvy craftsman could probably make one themselves with some scrap wood and wires.
Cost: 20
Weight: 4lbs
Blasting Wire: 5 Per 50ft in a spool.
 

Radio Detonator

The choice for militaries, insurgents and everything in between, the Radio Detonator is a more expensive and more discreet option. On top of that there are less points of failure, as all that is needed is the blasting cap and radio antenna to receive the encrypted transmission that tells it to explode. It cannot be traced back to the operator and has a range of 1 mile.
Cost: 100
Weight: 1lb
Blasting Cap: 20
 

PK-80 Ickitinta Typewriter

Known for being a publishing company, Ichkitinta actually had its debut as a manufacturing company of printing products like the humble but prolific typewriter. Their name roughly means “To Bathe in Ink.” Unsurprisingly it is often the subject of an array of jokes.
Instead of using a pen or pencil, you may use a typewriter for deskwork provided it has ink for it. Typewriters are an essential part of an office space, making the recording of mountains of information a lot more manageable, especially with experienced typists.
Cost: 50
Ink Refill: 1
 

Batteries

Batteries in Terota are relatively advanced and energy dense, split into two main categories. Lithium Ion and Oxygen Ion batteries, and usually come in the Universal Battery form, where they can power nearly anything that has detachable batteries. Note, this doesn't apply to items like the Nightvision goggles, where they use a battery made to fit them. Oxygen Ion batteries are more common, as their lifetimes are practically infinite, but are far less energy dense and depend on having a source of power to be recharged. At the very least, it makes them cheaper.  

Oxygen Ion Universal Battery

The most common battery type in Terota. It dictates the default Recharge or Battery Life property on a weapon or item.
Cost: 100
Weight: 1lb

Lithium Ion Universal Battery

The Lithium Ion Universal Battery doubles the Battery Life and Recharge property of a weapon or item. Additionally, it can be used as an improvised flame weapon when properly damaged and armed to be set on fire. Dealing 1d6 Fire damage per round for 1 hour on objects and creatures sharing a 5ft space with it.
Cost: 500
Weight: 1lb
