Wisdom from the Wastelands 52: Nanotech Undead (d20)
In the Ancients' movies and literature¸ undead were often created by magic¸ curses¸ or other supernatural phenomena. The hideous and terrifying creatures now stalking the wastelands are closer to another theme from the ancestors' popular culture: technology run amuck¸ the escaped infectious creations of mad scientists. But the Ancient biotech engineers were not usually mad¸ and the infections did not escape. Instead¸ it was much¸ much worse: undead were born as nanite terror weapons¸ and intentionally used.
This expanded issue of Wisdom from the Wastelands contains 25 fully described and stat'ed horrifying undead monsters created through a combination of technology and biology¸ and discusses their general traits; transmission¸ incubation¸ and treatment; and place in the post-apocalyptic world.
Wisdom from the Wastelands is dedicated to providing useful information¸ game content¸ and ideas to players of modern¸ science fiction¸ and post-apocalyptic table-top and role-playing 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 role-playing games of the early 1970s 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 the Wisdom from the Wastelands to be useful and enjoyable!
