As of late I have been working on a GURPS after the fall of modern man campaign and being new to running the genre I have been in search of tools to help put together my new post apocalyptic world. Having ran Mutant Future a few times at least gave me a good source of where to start as for mutations, weapons, drugs, and misc junk but thankfully there is a whole wide internet full of resources available and I will be sharing with you good reader some of the most useful in my humble opinion.
1: Daves Mapper: https://davesmapper.com/city
Right away I am having a blast using Davesmapper for generating ruined cities to populate my world with. In particular I am fond of using Amanda Michaels geomorphs as they are clear and concise and when exported are perfect for numbering to allow for quick notation of what each building is on its associated guide sheet.
2: Settlement Resources:
http://mutationapocalypse.blogspot.com/2016/08/settlements-in-post-apocalypse-part-iv.html
This has a little of everything from random building generator, random settlement resource generation, trade goods, random crises, and a very useful gas station forts table that provides some stellar ideas for not just gas stations and out of the way locations but also ideas that work for any sort of fortified village/town/city. Highly recommend but certainly would save an offline copy as you never know when the google links will go dead.
3: Settlement Naming:
http://wampuscountry.blogspot.com/2012/01/frontier-town-name-generator.html
A handy set of 3 d100 charts for creating names for locations, settlements. Again I would save a copy in case google every purges it.
[edit] http://www.random-generator.com/index.php?title=Wampus_Country_Frontier_Town_Name_Generator looks like there is currently a version of this located here however they are having technical difficulties and will hopefully have the generators working again soon
4: Hazards:
