Abe E. Seez:

Good morning everyone!
My name is Abe E. Seez, and I want to talk to you about the alphabet!
The alphabet is made up of things called "letters".
A letter is a little shape that makes a special sound.
See this letter: it's called A!
There is a big A and a small a, but they both have the same sound.
Here is the sound: ah! Or sometimes, ai, just like the letter itself!
Here is an apple. The word "apple" begins with A.
Can you think of any other words that begin with A?
*long pause*
Oh, those are some good ones! They might be the same as mine.
Here's some A words I got: ant, airplane, alligator, arm, astronaut!
And now, let's go on to the next letter, B...

Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.
