Scavengers of the Mutant World

One thing that I should probably be clearer about is that I swiped most of the campaign background from an obscure computer RPG from the 1980s called “Scavengers of the Mutant World”. Credit goes to Richard Launius, Bruce Beaumont, and Chris Stassen.

Here’s a rather unnerving picture of Crow-That-Dances-Under-the-Moon, the tribal scout whom has recently been befriended by the Scavengers in Crestone.

The humanoid did not appear to notice the Surface Expedition Team either time, and follow-up investigation of the area where the mutant travelled indicated radiation contamination. Extreme caution is recommended during any encounters with such creatures.

The following sketch is based on eyewitness descriptions:

The Fungus Forest appears to be a recent phenomena, as previous Map Reconnaissance did not report its existence. Lau Expedition Control recommends caution when entering the forest, and the use of respiratory filters or gas masks to reduce the risk of infection from errant spores.
