Wisdom from the Wastelands, Issue #43: Optional Combat Rules II (Mutant Future) PDF

As a weary game master, nearing the end of a long session and faced with a sudden, sticky conundrum, have you ever looked across at a table full of your eager/irate/meddlesome players (taut with the expected wisdom of your decision), and thought: “Man ... I wish there was a rule for this”? For many of these unexpected cases, now there is. This issue of Wisdom from the Wastelands introduces mechanics for things like charging, recoil, variable firing stances, cooking off ammunition, and grappling while waving sharp pointy objects.

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 subsequent issues of the Wisdom from the Wastelands to be useful and enjoyable!
