A Catalog is a glossy shop catalogue full of pictures of goods for sale. It is a piece of light reading that eases boredom and stress for a short while.
Each catalog carries the name of a store or brand when it spawns. The titles range from car dealers and furniture stores to toy shops and travel agents. Flicking through one is a quick way to settle the nerves at a quiet moment.
The paper has two practical uses as well. Catalogs can be layered into improvised magazine armour, and they burn as kindling.
Catalogs are common in homes, especially in living rooms and bedrooms.
Reading
A catalog is looked at like a picture book. It takes the edge off boredom and calms stress by a modest amount.
The catalog suits a short break at a safe base. It is best kept for a quick calm between jobs.
The title is picked at random and is only flavour. Names include American Tire, Crossroads Mall, Knox Kitchens, Louisville Bruiser and Zac's Hardware, among many others.
Using
Make Magazine Body Armor and Make Magazine Limb Armor both accept a catalog as their paper. The body armour needs Tailoring level 1. A stack of old catalogs can help build a basic layer of padding early in a run.
A catalog also burns as kindling. It gives about seven and a half minutes of burn time to get a fire started.
