Plans for a proposed “bombproof” shelter designed to hold 12,000 people. The VFW had planned to build 65 of these shelters at a cost of $1 million each in the Manhattan area.

for the dating thing: imra >:3c

the worst bard, ever!!

pros of dating imra:

she will play u lil tunes on her flute. it’s the only thing she’s good at

INCOMPREHENSIBLY CHARMING

she only ever casts Hideous Laughter, but she does know Cure Wounds in case you have an accident while laughing

cool snake familiar

if you like traveling, she’s on an infinite stupid quest for immortality, so you’ll see a lot of cool places and get into dumb adventures with her

Babe Magnet: all her friends r cute

cons of dating imra:

never takes shit seriously

-1 intelligence modifier

touches a lot of cursed stuff. is the party’s go-to Cursed Item Toucher. you will be cursed at some point just from hanging around her.

Dramatic to a fault. you will not know how to navigate the heavy draperies concealing her bathtub.

she can be rly selfish and Morally Not Good towards others as a result

in fact as she ages (i mean, she’s a drow, so she’s got a lot of centuries in her even without the quest for immortality) she sort of loses sight of morality altogether. but if you’re into a sort of mediocre, mildly villainous lady, that’s good news

What to Do in a Nuclear Attack, State of New York Civil Defense Commission, 1960-1963.

Howdy y’all, just a small post regarding the history of the National Fallout Shelter Survey and Marking Program! Saw this sign in a scene of Mad Men (which takes place in 1960 [season one]) and realized that even big-name shows make historical mistakes, so you might too when creating Cold War media. 

The NFSS began in 1961 under President John F. Kennedy. With the help of local surveyors, engineers, and architects, pre-existing buildings that met the criteria for a proper fallout shelter were “marked, stocked, and mapped.” Until this point, there was no true national effort to create public shelters, and indeed, shelter markings, supplies, and locations were up to local discretion, if at all considered. 

One of the bigger plot lines of season one of Mad Men is the advertising campaign for Richard Nixon’s presidential race against JFK, so it’s even more glaring that this sign was included in this scene, even though Kennedy had not yet won the election.

“If The Bomb Falls: A Recorded Guide to Survival”

Although produced by the OCDM and not the FCDA (which I focus most attention on) this is arguably one of the bleakest, most honest pieces of media produced by all American Civil Defense administrations. It does not sugar-coat the effects of blast, fireball, or fallout, but also tries it’s best to provide pertinent information in a calm, organized manner. 

Unlike most civil defense media, it talks almost immediately about how death is most likely if you do not take any precautions to survive. It later mentions how shelter life has psychological effects, and how most creature comforts will be gone. Most media maintains a very positive outlook and makes nuclear warfare seem not so bad. But this is arguably more important than other publications, as the reality of the situation would have encouraged people to take Civil Defense seriously. 

Both parts of If The Bomb Falls, narrated by David Wiley, can be listened to on youtube:
