Brewing Your Next Fix
When creating a new chem, ask yourself:
- What is the chem's primary effect—does it boost strength, intelligence, or perception?
- Is it a combat drug, a healing agent, or something more esoteric?
- Does the name sound scientific and pre-war, or makeshift and tribal?
- Should it include prefixes or suffixes that hint at its function (e.g., 'Jet', 'Psycho', 'Med')?
- What are its side effects, and could the name subtly warn of them?
