Skirmisher Publishing LLC is proud to announce the release of Wisdom from the Wastelands Issue #49: Unique Superscience Artifacts V! This publication is written by Derek Holland and Chris Van Deelen, authors of multiple Mutant Future supplements, and is available through online venues that include DriveThruRPG and RPGNow (5 pages; $0.99 USD).
With amazing powers, terrible mutants, and scientific advancements available only in our collective imagination, Mutant Future stretches the bounds of conception. From a foundation of Clarke's Second Law and Goblinoid Games' supplement Realms of Crawling Chaos, we present superscience artifacts, devices that are one step beyond and seemingly magical even to characters familiar with wondrously advanced technology. This issue of Wisdom from the Wastelands coalesces around the mind-bending, with artifacts ranging from hazardous personal-improvement gear and pet accouterments to a many-pedal building and diabolical nightmare toys for both kids and adults.
These items were created for Mutant Future games, but could easily fit into other science-fiction or fantasy games with little or no adjustments. Each artifact is so detailed, every one could become a central plot point or continuing idea for whole gaming sessions — or entire campaigns. They are not one sentence, throw-away items: each has a history that will hopefully enrich, inspire, possibly even drive your own gaming story, and we hope you enjoy them.
Wisdom from the Wastelands is dedicated to providing useful information, game content, and ideas to players of modern, science-fiction, and post-apocalyptic tabletop and roleplaying games in general and to fans of Goblinoid Games' Mutant Future RPG in particular. The material it contains are compatible with it and any others that use the "Basic" system introduced in the most popular roleplaying games of the early 1970's, and are easily adaptable to many other games (especially successor systems, to include those covered by the Open Game License).
Our goal is for each thematic issue of this publication to contain a variety of useful and earnest content that will inspire Game Masters and players alike and provide them with things that they can immediately plug into their games. We very much hope you will find this and other issues of Wisdom from the Wastelands to be useful and enjoyable!
