Wasteland Treasures: 1

The Mutant Epoch RPG



Wasteland Treasure Tables One to Three Three Random loot listings for The Mutant Epoch or other Post Apocalyptic RPG Written and Illustrated by William McAusland

Publisher’s Note: With the success of The Creatures of the Apocalypse line, one thing we discovered was that game masters love having random treasure tables at their disposal. Better yet, they appreciate having treasure lists with some sort of theme to them that made sense to the character’s location, or the sort of beast or humanoid who hoarded the items. Given this, and the fabulous response to the first Pay What You Want Double Feature of our One Day Digs, we thought we would make a set of treasure tables along the same lines. We imagined a 5 or 6 page document, and ended up with the 19 Page beast you see here. The addition of art did expand the document, but imagery in RPGs has always been important both to imbue the text with a mood, describe something, and serve as a reference point when flipping through a book. As a writer, I got into illustrating after seeing the importance of art to text. As a Game Master, I need more treasure tables, and fresh new ones that not only offer my players valuables, but so too, curiosities, perils and promising adventure hooks. I hope you enjoy using these loot lists at your table as much as my group will. They took months to compile, flipping through military catalogs, shipping resource sites, walking around my campsite, sitting at Starbucks® with my iPad®, laying at the beach, drinking wine around campfires, and poking about in my overflowing garage. It was an interesting process and I encourage any GM to look around while going about their daily tasks and recording items, assigning them a silver coin (sp) value, and dropping them into a d100 list. Randomness for some gamers is a dirty word, while others crave it in games. When I GM, I use random tables and their results as more of a suggestion, often rolling a couple of times and picking the best one or two outcomes to make for the most appropriate, amusing or memorable game session. If you don’t feel that a result is right for your group, perhaps given the mature nature of a roll, the time left in the game session to explore a listing or feel the result is too generous or similar to a previous result, just look at the die roll number below and go with that. Your players won’t know. Happy Gaming Will McAusland

Wasteland Treasure Table Two: Loot and discoveries of Interest in Old Warzones Roll d100

01. Land mine, pin depressed and under a random character’s foot. If the PC has the relic knowledge skill, he or she realizes his or her predicament. Without the skill, the PC is allowed a type A Intelligence based Hazard check; if successful, the character knows he or she has stepped on a mine and that to lift his or her foot will most likely detonate the ancient device. If the person has no idea what the click underfoot meant, see the third paragraph for the result. If some smart ass coaxes the person on the mine to jump for it, the potential victim is allowed a type D agility based hazard check to leap off and avoid any potential blast, see the next paragraph for the result. Alternatively, lacking some relic or other tactic, a comrade could bravely step up and try to slip a knife under the boot that is on the device. Once the blade is under the boot and wedged between the tread and the pin, the assistant can then slip a brick or rock on the knife to keep the pin depressed. The Person wedging the knife is allowed a type B accuracy based hazard check to succeed at keeping the pin depressed as the person steps off. If nobody is willing or able to perform the knife trick, one can try and do this him or herself, but the accuracy based hazard check is a type G, thus far harder. If the attempt fails, or an object is thrown at the knife and mine from a distance to see what would happen, see the next paragraph. The mine is triggered. Roll d6: 1,2. Detonation, Blast goes straight up, Strike Value 01-90, Damage d20+15/

3,4. Nothing happens, pin rusted and stuck in engaged and about to explode position. To throw, bump or tinker with this device will force a re-roll on this list. / 5. Insipid detonation. The device merely pops in a puff of black smoke, giving off a sound like a gunshot but inflicting no harm. All first rank characters on or within 4m or the anticlimactic burst must make a type B willpower based hazard check to avoid pissing themselves. / 6. Nothing happens, mine is broken as far as detonation goes, but, if sold to a gunsmith in a barter town, who can fix it, will fetch 50+d100sp. 02. Land mine, armed and half exposed in the sand and junk, d12cm from a random character’s foot. If toyed with the see the third paragraph of roll 01 this table. 03. Half buried in the sand and debris is a metal sign, face down and bent. If pulled up and looked at, it says: Danger Minefield. The characters have inadvertently walked into an area covered in ancient mines. For the next 100m travelled in any direction, each PC is 4% likely to step on a mine. If so, see roll 01 this table. 04. Half buried in the sand, junk and scraggy vegetation is a burnt out tank of old. Its hatch is ajar, the tracks blown off, tiny holes penetrate its hull and it is thoroughly rusted and beyond repair. It is, however, the perfect place to sit out a storm, take cover from predators, or spend the night in relative security. Once inside, the hatch can be closed and wired shut for the night, the tiny puncture holes making for excellent peep holes or gun ports. There is a 12% chance that among the debris inside the tank, something tiny and dangerous has made its home: If so, roll d6: 1. Venomous Lizard/ 2. Spotted Scorpion/ 3. Small Snake, venomous/ 4. Sting Flies, 2d4+2/ 5. Rat, Aberrant/ 6. Insect, Tiger Hornet. 05. The remnants of an ammo belt, once held 200 rounds of ammo, but now only 3d6 standard rifle rounds. 06. Nearby, about 100+d100m away, 2d6 Ruin Vultures are busy picking clean what appears to be a dead person. If the PCs wish to investigate, the huge, ugly vultures will only give up their feast if driven off by gunshots, or a group of at least half as many humans as vultures in number. Even if driven off, they will circle high above and could possibly attract other scavengers or even curious humanoids. Looking over the dead thing, roll d6: 1,2. The near skeletal remains of a recently killed skullock. It has a machete, d3L of water, and 2 rolls on Wasteland Treasure Table 3, from page 16, this document./ 3,4. A dead pure stock human in some sort of blue jumpsuit with strange markings on it. The suit looks brand new, and on the arm of the mostly devoured victim is a strange tattoo (barcode). (Roll d4 to see what is on the cadaver: 1. It holds an empty automatic pistol in like-new condition./ 2. An advanced com-

Worth 30+d20sp if sold. 08. Mug. porcelain-resin, slightly chipped and faded with ancient propaganda saying written on it: roll d8: 1. #1 Dad/ 2. Cup of Joe/ 3. Make mine a Double /4. World’s Greatest Sergeant/ 5. The Few, The Proud, The Marines!/ 6. Give me COFFEE of give me DEATH/ 7. The Cost of Liberty IS Blood / 8. No Guts, No Glory. Any mug worth 6+d12sp 09. Nylon web belt sticking up out of ground. If pulled on, roll d6: 1. Nothing attached. Great belt worth 3d6sp/ 2. Belt, as in roll 1, but has a plastic pouch attached containing 6+d6 mini grenades./ 3. Belt, as in roll 1, but, in a plastic pouch are a pair of magazines for an automatic pistol, fully loaded with 20 rounds each, but, so caked with a mix of oil and sand that they can’t be used without at least an hour’s cleaning per mag./ 4. Sheath containing a razor sword. The alloy this wonder weapon was cast from has resisted rust all these decades, and it is in perfect condition, The plastic handle, however, is cracked and falls apart at a touch. Using wire, cloth and other scrap, a functional handle can be made in a half hour./ 5. Several treasures are attached: an old ARMY canteen (1 liter capacity), sheathed Alloy knife (treat as a +2 DMG, +2 SV dagger), a pouch containing a magazine for an assault rifle, containing d12 rifle rounds, along with d3 fragmentation grenades./ 6. The belt is attached to the skeletal remains of an ancient soldier. Much of his uniform and gear have rotted away, but he does wear a functional ballistic vest and combat helmet. The helmet once had a communicator, but it is damaged and will require an electrical technician to repair, the battery, a mini power cell, is present but drained. Rafael Ramos (order #6162871)

10. The skeletal remains of some ancient warrior. The clothing and gear are merely shredded scraps, but, clear this person was a cyborg and has parts that could be torn from the skeleton, cleaned, refurbished and reattached to another cyborg if desired. See page 89 of the TME hub rules for a random Optical Enhancement, and page 92 for a weapon arm. If the arm requires ammo or power cells, consider them missing. 11. Roll of Galvanized Razor wire. Decent condition and worth 10sp per meter if sold in a larger community or to a fortress community. There are 3d6 meters present. Passing through razor wire is akin to an attack, SV 01-40, DMG d6 per length forced to cross. 12. Some sort of shredded nylon hip pouch. Inside, among desiccated and moldy insta-meals, is something of value, roll d6: 1. A baggy of 3d6 standard pistol rounds/ 2. 2d6 Shotgun shells/ 3. A full magazine for an assault rifle/ 4. A spotted scorpion, which calls this bag home and sits on an Advanced Fragmentation Grenade within/ 5. Gasmask in original plastic sleeve/ 6. Green plastic ammo box containing 10+d6 .50 cal rounds. 13. Sticking out of the sand is a rusted heavy machine gun with front armor plates. Although corroded beyond repair, and the contraption partially blown apart, each character looking it over is allowed an Intelligence based type C hazard check to notice that within the gun’s action is a grime coated section of fifty caliber ammo on a scrap of belt. There are 2d4 of the huge rounds present, requiring cleaning before use. 14. In a shallow depression, which may once have been some sort of trench or crater, are heaps of bleached skeletons, scraps of ancient body armor, broken gear, rusted weapons and empty shell casings of all sizes. If a half hour is spent here rummaging about, characters will find the following: Enough relic armor to later assemble d6 suits of scrap relic armor, 0 to 6 (d8 -2) standard rifle rounds, 0 to 9 (d12 -3) standard pistol rounds, a 37% chance of a razor sword, a 28% chance of d2 M364 Howitzer shells, a 9% chance of a fully loaded and intact assault rifle, and a 21% chance of fully loaded automatic pistol in a nylon holster. After this search, the characters realize they have been watched as a random encounter for that terrain has been attracted to the dust and noise of the search and is now 10+d20 meters away! 15. Half buried in the debris is a ballistic shield with the word FEMA on it. 16. A strap for some long lost rifle. On the green nylon thing is a pouch and inside, roll d6: 1. A magazine for a survival rifle containing d12 standard rifle rounds/ 2. Plastic encased pack of 10 standard rifle rounds/ 3. Plastic box containing a gun cleaning kit, fire starter, 10 water purifi-

Wasteland Treasures: 1 cation tabs, and a fully loaded pocket pistol and spare 6 rounds of ammo/ 4. Baggy of 3d6 rifle rounds/ 5. Plastic coated six pack of mini grenades/ 6. Two advanced fragmentation grenades. 17. Protruding from the ground is a crushed, bent infantry support mortar. The weapon once fired standard grenades fed into it from a side hopper. The mortar is now merely rusted junk, but laying to one side, barely exposed by the wind, is a buried box. The plastic container is sealed shut and looks partially melted. If the PCs pull it out of the dirt and try and open it a knife or axe must be used to snap off the latches. Inside is, roll d6: 1. Nothing except faded instructions on how to use the mortar, and attached to it by a paper clip, a Military swipe card, level 4 Maximum Security Access/ 2. One remaining fragmentation grenade/ 3. d4 Frag grenades/ 4. 2d4 Fragmentation grenades/ 5. d2 Nerve gas and d3 advanced fragmentation grenades/ 6. d6+3 Regular frag grenades and d3+1 advanced frag grenades. 18. A random character steps onto a soft spot in the ground and must make a type C agility based hazard check to avoid falling through into a hole. Either way, the characters have discovered the junk covered open hatch to some rusted, inoperative old tank. Inside, there is a 7 in 10 chance that this 3m long by 2m wide space is home to a hostile and angry occupant(s), if so, roll d6: 1. d4 Spiderbots which activate and attack intruders. They are Mecha directed and will kill all living beings they encounter./ 2. d6 Small snakes/ 3. Nest of 2d6 red wasps/ 4. Combat android without legs. It takes 2-24 (2d12) rounds to activate and emerge from the dust and debris at the bottom of the tank, moving only 3m per round. Insane, it cannot be reasoned with and will make every effort to mash any being it can get a hold of./ 5. Black Centipede/ 6. 4d6 Gutter rats. Looting the inside of this tank will reveal 0 to 17 (d20 -3) standard rifle rounds, 0 to 7 (d10 -3) .50 caliber cartridges, 0 to 18 (d20 -2) standard pistol rounds, a 68% chance of a plastic box holding d8 frag grenades, and a 34% chance of a sealed case holding d6 M364 howitzer rounds that the great tank’s now splintered guns used to fire. The interior of the tank makes for a great shelter from storms and with little effort, can have its hatch re-covered for later occupation or retreat. 19. Several dead coyotes lay around a still smoldering blast crater. The animals seem to have been shredded by an explosive device, possibly a mine or artillery strike. There is enough partially cooked dog meat here to feed a team of 10 for two days. 20. Military lock box, black. Inside is a pair of submachine guns with slings, 2 fully loaded 40 round magazines each plus a box of ten fragmentation grenades. Rafael Ramos (order #6162871)

21. In the distance, about a kilometer away, something metallic is glimmering under the sun (or moon) light. It appears to be moving parallel to the team’s own course. If approached, within 100 meters or a visual aide (such as binoculars, telescope, some similar mutation or implant is used), the metallic shape is revealed to be, roll d6: 1. A riderless, thirsty horse plated in scrap metal barding. It is very friendly to human characters and will turn and approach, acting playful. The animal’s saddle, made in the nearest large trade town, is covered in dry blood and the saddle bags punctured with black feathered crossbow quarrels. One saddle bag carries a day’s food for the horse, another bag, luckily missed by quarrels, is filled with 6 liters of fresh water. 2. The metallic shape is of a man, clad in full iron plate, dragging an empty water skin, staggering left and right and oblivious to the characters. If greeted, he pulls out a battle axe and is ready to fight. If not attacked outright, however, he will lift the visor on his spiked helmet and smile once before dropping over unconscious. If given water and shade, revived, he comes around and speaks. “Names Conrath Lopez, last of my expedition. We were attacked by a cult of junk worshipping fucktards. We got split up in the dark. I fought off many, but, they got my mates. I think the crazies are on my trail. Best you leave me to my fate... so I can join my comrades in hell.” If accepted into the team, he could become a new player character as mutant, clone, bioreplica, trans-human or pure stock. 3. The metallic shape is actually a skinless android. Its plastic and metal parts glossy in the light. The android is 77% likely to be a combat android armed with a fully loaded laser carbine, razor sword and d6 advanced fragmentation grenades. Its only objective is to patrol a specific multikilometer route and kill non-mechanical beings or drive off unauthorized robots from other hives. If not a combat android, it is instead a pleasure android that has carefully unsheathed it’s normally attractive tan skin and blonde hair and stowed it in a special plastic case it wears at its hip. It is 30% likely to be a fully functional male pleasure model, otherwise a female. It is very friendly, flirty and affectionate immediately upon meeting humans and more-generic looking humanoids (not too gross or bestial). If asked about its

Wasteland Treasures: 1 circumstances, it explains: “Name is Shawn. I’ve been out here looking for my master for ... well let’s just say since all this stuff happened, the battle I mean, silly. Keep finding old batteries. The odd solar charger pack, whatever parts from this or that. It’s been hard. Kinda need a bath and dust busting if you know what I mean. You got any parts that need attendance? There is a bush over there where we can be alone for a few minutes.” 4. The moving metal thing is an industrial repair robot on tracks. It has been shot through the head and is completely unaware of the characters. The thing has been going in circles out in the battle zone for who knows how long and using a small solar collector to keep itself going. Its processor is damaged and it is permanently in a travel mode, lacking self preservation or directives of any kind and can be knocked over, switched off and looted if desired. Its onboard solar collector and power back can also be harvested. The collector panel will recharge the power pack after 8 hours of sun exposure, yielding a full charge. The robot used this to charge for 8 hours and then travel for 16 hours, every day since the ancient battle took place when a sniper’s lucky shot punctured its cranial unit. 5,6. The machine is a heavy combot and when observed, the characters realize the robot is also looking them and aiming its main weapon, a heavy laser carbine at the viewers and about to eliminate a random PC (SV 0185, DMG 3d20+20, 4km range). This robot is not alone, and d6 light infantry bots are at that moment moving up from behind the character’s 2d100+50m away and about to make a surprise attack. These are Mecha units, operating in the wastes from a hidden hive in a nearby military bunker. Inside the bunker, amongst all manner of ancient artifact of old world warfare, are many more robots and androids, as well as a main computer which houses a self aware, malevolent digital being calling itself ‘Rommel 2.0’. 22. The characters come across a crashed, recently manufactured airship. The gondola lies on its side, torn open and mangled. The leather balloon is shredded and spread across a hundred meters. It appears as though there were survivors as a small campfire sits to one side of the gondola, sleeping rolls and shelters arranged inside the wicker and wood contraption as if people had slept there.

Rafael Ramos (order #6162871)

The Mutant Epoch RPG



Outside, a dozen meters away are a row of crude graves with crosses haphazardly placed at the head of each of the seven mounds. There is nobody around now, but the gondola would certainly offer great quarters for the night, or to sit out a sandstorm. GM: Any character can try his or her luck tracking any survivors (see the Tracking skill on page 55 of the TME hub rules), but, somebody with the tracking skill will have much better odds to discern a series of tracks leading away form the crash site, and that it looks like there were six people who headed off to an uncertain fate. The tracks appear to have been made only 2d4 days ago. The gondola may have some supplies or valuables remaining within: a 37% chance of a huge keg of red wine (20 liter), a 22% chance of a ballista on a tripod with 3d6 steel javelin projectiles in a nearby bundle, a 17% chance of a drum of alcohol fuel (d6 liters remaining and highly combustible), and a 7% chance of a heavy machine-gun bolted to a swivel at the front of the gondola. The thing was belt fed and still holds d10 high caliber rounds of ammo. 23. A gold plated booze flask is kicked up in the dirt at a random character’s feet. The flask has the initials s J.W. on it. Inside, although dust now, is the strong smell of scotch. Worth 100+2d100sp 24. Sticking out of the ground is the tail section of an ancient helicopter gunship. The craft is clearly beyond repair, but the side door can be accessed on one side, although thorn bushes and junk hinder easy access. If the dark interior is explored, there is a 3 in 6 chance that it is occupied by a very territorial resident, if so, roll d6: 1. A pair of rubble spiders/ 2. A huge snake/ 3. A nest of 3d6 red wasps/ 4. A cave scorpion/ 5. A pack of 2d6 green walkers/ 6. A dirty, bearded human named ‘Hairy Jack’. This man is a scavenger who calls this place home. Although an eccentric old loner, this filthy old timer is thrilled to have civilized company and is willing to trade an empty assault shotgun for a liter of any sort of booze, or, a sizable block of cheese. He knows all sorts of local sites, and hazards, and for a fee in booze, narcotics, or

Wasteland Treasures: 1 fine foods from town will serve as a guide within one day’s march of his home, avoiding all landmines and lairs of humanoids. The characters are welcome to camp with him at his chopper, and at night, the man will beg to hear news of the outside world. If the crashed helicopter is searched for valuables, roll d6: 1. Nothing salvageable remains/2. An empty assault rifle magazine is found/ 3. d6 Shotgun shells are located in a seat/ 3. A belt of 3d6 high caliber rifle rounds are found in an overhead compartment/ 4. A gasmask in a plastic case is uncovered/ 5. A tattered pocket bible is in the pocket of an ancient, crumbling skeletal pilot/ 6. A drum magazine for an assault rifle is jammed under a seat containing 50 rounds of ammo. 25. Half covered in soil and junk, is an olive green plastic crate. The thing is locked and sealed all around by a rubberized tube. To snap open the lock, a type D strength based hazard check is needed if done by hand, but using a crowbar, machete or other tool, a type A HC is all that is needed. Inside, and in like-new condition, is roll d6: 1. The mummified corpse of an ancient officer, still in uniform, a dark stain spread across his chest where long ago, a bullet passed through his heart. He lays with arms crossed, metals and insignia all over his crumbling dress uniform. At his hip is a nickel plated automatic pistol with gold engraving, ivory grips, full magazine loaded. In his chest pocket is a all-access military ID swipe card. His metals alone are worth 300+2d100sp if sold to a collector in a large trade town./ 2. A grenade launcher and 1 small box each of 10 fragmentation, 10 advanced fragmentation and 10 nerve gas grenades/ 3. A rocket launcher and 10 battle rockets./ 4. Ammo crate containing 100 standard rifle, 100 standard pistol, 100 high caliber rifle, 20 high caliber pistol, 50 shotgun shells, and 50 .50 cal rounds of ammo./ 5. Set of three assault rifles, bullpup style, with slings, barrel lights, 10 drained mini power cells each, three magazines each, and 4 boxes of standard rifle ammo for each, with each box containing 30 cartridges each./ 6. Light laser cannon with tripod. Separate shoulder straps exist for the cannon and tripod, with a power pack included complete with straps to attach the tripod to the pack. The power pack is drained but the whole set looks pristine. 26. A random character almost trips over a tube in the ground. If pulled on, the tube pulls up a canister containing 4 liters of fuel for a flame unit. There is a 3 in 10 chance that the other end of the tube is actually connected to a serviceable flame unit weapon! 27. Clear blue plastic water jug with handle but missing original lid can hold 2 liters liquid. Worth 2d8sp Rafael Ramos (order #6162871)

28. Plastic and steel floor mop with squeeze handle and partially remaining foam cleaning head. Bright red worth 2d4sp 29. Gasmask, desert camo print, military grade with non-reflective face shield and made of armored materials (improve defense value -4). 30. Plate of fresh looking sushi, plastic display, worth 2d8sp 31. Military jacket, digital camo print, urban grays, worth 3d12+40sp, but there is a 6% chance that in the shirt pocket is an advanced fragmentation grenade. 32. Alloy golf club, putter, treat as a club that is +3 SV and does an extra +2 DMG 33. Cybernetic arm attached to the skeletal remains of a shoulder blade, spine and upper arm bone. The limb is dirty and needs a few hours work by a technician before it can be implanted on to another cyborg. Details about the cybernetic limb can be found in the TME hub rules (or other resource containing cybernetic limbs). If the GM doesn’t have one in mind, then roll d6: 1. Weapon Arm, with grenade launcher and 20 grenade drum attached. Drum has a 50% chance of d6 frag grenades in it, a 17% chance of an advanced frag, and a 5% chance of d2 nerve gas grenades loaded/ 2. Cybernetic Power Arm with battery drained but otherwise in decent shape / 3. Weapon arm, Spring Spike, no batteries required /4. Weapon Arm, Chainsaw, electric powered. Power cell drained / 5. Weapon Arm, with assault rifle attached and 0 to 15 (d20 minus 5) cartridges of standard rifle ammo in magazine./ 6. Detachable Lower Arm. This unit doesn’t need more than to unscrew it from the other remains, a dusting and a bit of oil to make it operational. 34. Pair of military goggles, a bit sand blasted but in decent shape. 35. Arriving at the lip of an old bomb crater of roughly 60 meters diameter, the characters peer down to see a weed and junk choked opening to one side. Some sort of ancient opening presents itself down there about 6 meters, although all around the opening are the bones of beasts and humanoids, along with what appears to be several shredded backpacks. If the PC’s decide to investigate the packs or concrete lined cavern mouth, there are 3+d3 backpacks to explore, each with assorted rag tag clothing, a sleeping roll, dried up water-skin, moldy foodstuffs as well as one roll each from assorted loot from Table WT-1, in this collection. One random pack also reveals a random treasure item, roll d6: 1. An assault rifle magazine with d20 rifle rounds still inside/ 2. An advanced fragmentation grenade/ 3. A pair of binoculars/ 4. A fully charged standard power cell/ 5. d3 battle rockets/ 6. A folded up survival rifle, magazine empty, but it does have an attached barrel light with 50% charge remaining. GM: The cave entrance could lead to a maze of old

Wasteland Treasures: 1 bunkers, some of them possibly still served by their ancient micro nuke reactors and therefore guarded by automated traps and defensive robotics. The opening itself is the home to a predator that is 77% likely to not only be home, but observing the PCs outside. The beast will attack if anybody pokes their head into the dark tunnel entrance. Roll d6 to determine what lives within: 1. Scorpion, Cave/ 2. Spider, Freakish/ 3. Lizard, Skulking Render/ 4. Wolves, Mutant, 1 per PC/ 5. Insects, Tiger Hornets d3+1/ 6. Narkanna. 36. Cyborg’s skull. This unit w i l l have a random optical implant from page 89 of the Mutant Epoch hub rules, plus, an 18% chance of something else of interest. If something else, roll d6 here: 1. The skull is actually bait and attached to a fine wire wrapped around the pull pin of a fragmentation grenade. Lifting the skull releases the pin and those observing are each allowed a type C perception based hazard check to spot this peril in time to drop prone or behind cover. This assumes the characters know what a grenade is in the first place, however. Once the grenade detonates a band of humanoids leap up in a semi-circle to the front of the PC’s direction of travel and attack from 3d6+6 meters away. Use skullocks for low rank characters, numbering 3 per PC, or warmorts, one per PC for mid rank PCs, or, 2 warmorts per pc for high rank characters, with one warmort, their leader, hanging back behind an old rusted armored vehicle and taking pot shots with an assault rifle (-20 DV bonus for cover)./ 2-4. Computerized brain. Files deleted (mostly), any PC who inserts or plugs into the old brain will get flashbacks of ancient battles, sites, pass codes and horrors, usually seen within dreams)/ 5. A spotted scorpion leaps out onto the crotch of whoever picked up the skull, roll for initiative./ 6. Cables run down from the skull deep into the rocky, junk strewn ground. If the PCs continue to pull on the alloy cables and frayed wires, roll d8: 1-4. The cable is attached to a random weapon arm implant from the list on page 92 of the Mutant Epoch hub rules. Sadly, any power cells of the weapon are drained. Likewise, there is only a 19% chance of any ammo loaded and then only 10% of whatever the gun can hold./ 5-8. The wire’s snap free and sparks shoot put of the broken end. The eye of the skull gleams red for second and then goes blank. GM: A small Mecha hive have been using the eye on the old skull to observe the comings and goings of intruders into the area for decades. They have seen the characters and may or may not send out a detachment of 6+d6 light combots to eradicate the trespassers. Rafael Ramos (order #6162871)

37. Partially buried in the sand are a set of keys. Most of them are rusted metal, but attached is a security pass card. Anybody with relic knowledge will realize that the swipe card is of very high access and once belonged to a military person of very high rank, perhaps a general. GM: Can open nearly any military or government installation door within the area including those of vehicles. 38. In the distance, glinting in the sun (or moonlight) is a shimmering metallic object that looks like an ancient vehicle of some sort. Approaching it, the PCs see that it is an old tank, but in its turret is a slender finger that turns to face the approaching PCs and fires a laser carbine! GM: This is a light combot (page 180 of the TME hub rules, laser carbine SV 01-80, DMG 2d20+10, range 2km). The robot is rusted and partially melted into the turret of the inoperative tank, and can’t get out. The characters notice that all around the machine are the skeletal remains of deer, rabbits, and other beasts, which over the years must have gotten too close to the murderous robot. If the combot is defeated and the tank interior explored, the PCs find 2 rolls on the following list, rerolling duplicated results, roll d6: 1. The combot was attached to a Solar Generator Unit (pg. TME 198)./ 2. A broken heavy machine-gun, however, a belt of 20+d20 high caliber rifle rounds are still attached to the now useless gun./ 3. A Field Medical Kit (pg. TME 199)/ 4. A box of five M364 Howitzer shells for the tank’s now destroyed main gun./ 5. A military crate containing 3 assault rifles each with 2 full 30 round magazines, slings and cleaning kits./ 6. A pulse laser rifle in a plastic gun case. Comes with 4 drained power cells. 39. A chemical storm is brewing and appears to be heading the character’s direction. Many such storms are harmless, at least in the short term, but others can burn flesh, blind a person or expose one to lethal levels of toxins leading to a shortened life and a slow, painful death. The only shelter seems to be a wrecked armored personnel carrier (APC) about a hundred meters away. If the PCs wish to ride out the storm in the open, roll d6 here, but if they head for the APC, see the next paragraph. Storm results, roll d6: 1. The chem storm actually changes course and swings away to the east./ 2. The storm dumps yellow tinted rain on the characters that stains their skin, hair and clothing with a slight golden hue for the next month./ 3. The chem storm whips up abrasive grit, plastic strips, junk and then drops a torrent of bitter tasting, purplish water. Each PC not protected by some sort of chemical suit or wearing combat or better armor takes d6 damage from the storm/ 4. Bad news. The chem storm pummels the characters with corrosive rain as well as a hail of accompanying junk. All

Wasteland Treasures: 1 those not in some sort of protective relic suit, or combat armor or better, take 2d6 damage./ 5. The rain comes down in a torrential downpour turning the old war zone into a mud flat for the rest of the day. Worse, anyone not in a fully sealed suit complete with breathing apparatus is exposed to toxins. Those exposed must make a type E endurance based hazard check or be sickened and reduced to half movement rate for 24 hours, plus take d20 stun damage and d6 lethal damage. Likewise, each character with exposed skin suffers a terrible rash that reduces their appearance score by 20 for 6 months, and then leaves scars that permanently reduce APP by 2d4pts (minimum app of 1). / 6. Chem storm is devastating. Anybody with less than a fully protective relic suit or in relic combat armor or better is exposed to 3d6 damage from acid burns. Worse, the subject must make a type F endurance based hazard check to avoid a debilitating sickness that causes a 50% drop to movement rate, -4 initiative, -30 strike value, a permanent d6 drop to each trait and a 6% chance of developing lung cancer within 3d6 years (GM rolls this chance and the years before the cancer shows up). The APC is a wreck, punctured by holes that go clear through and show melted metal wherever a beam weapon once punched through the vehicle. The crumbling remains of four ancient soldiers lay heaped in the bottom of the partially buried vehicle. Somebody quickly looted the bodies long ago, but there are still a couple of items of value here, roll d12, 3 times, re rolling duplicated results: 1. An empty magazine for a submachine gun / 2. Scattered ammo: d4 .50 al rounds, d6 shotgun shells, d12 pistol rounds and d20 standard rifle rounds / 3. An empty 50 round drum magazine for an assault rifle / 4. A fragmentation grenade / 5. A drained power cell/ 6. An army helmet / 7. A pair of medium sized combat boots worth 20+d20sp/ 8. A magazine for an auto pistol with d4 rounds of ammo in it./ 9. A pocket flashlight, its battery drained but serviceable / 10. A 750ml bottle of scotch, never opened and worth 100+d100sp if sold in a large town / 11. A small, dark green plastic box containing 20 rounds of high caliber pistol ammo/ 12. A Long, flat plastic crate holding a pump shotgun with barrel light (drained), and loaded with 8 slugs. Shoulder strap and cleaning kit included. The Chem storm fails to harm the PCs who hide inside the APC, the tumult passing after an hour. 40. A random character is sees the dirt at his or her feet erupt! A metallic, skeletal hand reaches out and grabs at the PC, trying to tear away the person’s genitals or entrails. GM: This is a light combot whose legs have been blown off. Its laser carbine is drained so it resorts to using its hand in the initial attack. On its second round, it will reveal its spring spike to eviscerate the character. The first grab attack will do d6+12 damage if making a hit. This legless variant moves only 3m per round. If destroyed, the PCs can recover a power cell from its frame, plus, the laser carbine can be detached and taken to a gunsmith to be modified into a usable gun, at a cost of 200+2d100 silvers that is.

41. The characters come across a giant, humanoid robot sitting in a ravine right before them. The machine, which must once have stood 6m tall, has been blown apart and is missing one arm, half a leg and much of the contents of its cranial unit. Weeds, vines and debris are hanging off it and it looks quite inoperative. If it, and the area around it, is searched, roll d6: 1. Nothing of value is found. Although it looks like somebody has lit a bonfire in the crotch area of the huge machine within the last few days. The remains of charred human bones are also discovered in the fire pit./ 2. The lost arm of the old machine is found and includes a destroyed machine-gun in the wrist. Here and there the characters find 3d6 scattered high caliber rifle rounds/ 3. There are several drained power cells clamped together and sealed in a plastic bundle hanging from the interior of the mighty machine. Climbing up to get the bundle of 4 rained cells is tricky however, treated as climb cliff on the climbing skill table, page 36 of the TME hub Rules, with a fall meaning dropping 3 meters onto Junk/Gravel./ 4. The giant war robot must once have fired rockets, as a belt of d6 battle rockets is kicked up right under the thing’s remaining arm!/ 5. The characters discover the heaped skeletons of many ancient dead soldiers all around the robot. They appear to have been there for a hundred years, as their bones crumble like dust. They do, however, offer up d6 army helmets, d3 ballistic vests and full suit of tactical armor./ 6. One of the many parts hanging down from the robot on rusted cables is actually an intact, but drained, power pack, complete with patch cables. 42. Plastic wine glass, a bit scuffed up but in serviceable shape, worth 5+d6sp 43. Roll of 30m digi camo duct tape, worth 4d6sp 44.
