The Mutant Epoch post-apocalyptic RPG
challenges your in-game persona to survive in an age of
rediscovery, high adventure, savage conflict, and freakish
mutants and machines. Characters work in small excavation teams
making forays into ruined cities, through junk strewn
wastelands, twisted forests, nightmarish swamps and across
polluted seas. During their expeditions they must contend with
mutant beasts, the environment, as well as raiders, cultists,
and robotic forces, only to stake their place in the newly
emerging barter forts and factional bastions of humanity.
Players can take on the roles of pure stocks, mutants, ghost
mutants, cyborgs, beastial humans and an assortment of synthetic
or engineered humans. All you need is the TME hub rules book,
dice, paper and pencils, a few friends and your imagination.

Mutant Epoch uses the Outland System game mechanic, which
employs the full set of polyhedron dice, is easy to learn,
logical, fast paced, and perfectly suited to the hard core
