[Gaming] MUTANT SCAVENGERS of the RUINED EARTH!-

I was slightly derailed by a need to write a Gamma-style variant of Nicolas Dessaux' Searchers of the Unknown 1-page micro-game.

Mine is entitled MUTANT SCAVENGERS of the RUINED EARTH!, and was equally inspired by Sean 'bite the bulette' Wills' Scavengers & Spacewrecks extension of SotU.
--In fact, I think that playing a combined game of S&S and MSotRE! only increases the fun-factor.

One could easily argue that Sean's CYBORG SAMURAI ARE GO! extension is the prequel to both S&S and mine, timeline-wise. Or, perhaps the new home of humanity, Light City, is on another planet, and the occasional Spacewreck Scavenger team beams down to the Ruined Earth to salvage old-world tech, and bring home bio-samples from its mutant population.
--A ship full of Flying Brains would be truly terrifying without a mutant Psycher to lend a hand. :D

Let me know what you think of MSotRE! :)

  3. Could've saved a couple of characters by spelling armor normally, without the "u".

    Seriously, I like the concept, but I think there's just a bit too much in this particular genre to cram into a single page.

  4. Actually, I think it's pretty cool.

    All apologies, but I'm going to have to be a copycat and do my own one page micro-game. Credit being given where credit is due, you folks are my inspiration!

    Unfortunately, it may need to wait a couple days since I need to pack for an upcoming trip...but the rules are on the tip o my brain....

  5. JB,
    --I have a Supers game, a 'second-fiddle' fantasy game, and a Victorian Horror game in development.
    ---I look forward to seeing what you come up with. This thing could be a mini-revolution in the OSR. :D

    Best thoughts for your upcoming trip,

  6. I always feel bad because it takes me forever to read everything and keep caught up on your blog.

    I like the Slavers posts a lot and this file is superb. I am a Mutant Future fan, and I printed this file out immediately. Great Work!

  7. bat,
    --Thank you very much.

    Please don't feel bad.
    --When you say something here, it cheers me up immensely.

    Please feel free to post stuff for MSotRE!
    --I'd love to see your great (addled) mind produce critters, gear, mutations and the like.

    All the best to you,

  13. Hrrm...

    I've written Sean Wills who was hosting the file, but I may just host it myself to avoid it shuffling around.
    --I'll post a comment on your post when I have it sorted.

    Thank you for pointing it out,
