This update has quite a few improvements and changes.
I discovered the post apocalyptic character image I used on the cover was produced by AI. Not cool. So, I found a fun public domain character with a similar feel and put it on the cover instead.
I added a simple 6 step process for generating very unique mutants for your game. It is a series of tables you roll on to pick the species, feature, tactic, weapon, and mutation. It is very quick and gives you enough information to expand out into a memorable mutant.
I added a couple optional rules that I use when playing the game. One is a rule for more challenging rolls. Sometimes it doesn't make sense for a single role to resolve a situation. The new optional rule I call 3 before 3 that builds the tension and makes resolving more challenging tasks fun. I also added a Durability option for having things break down during play. It is a simple mechanic that adds a little bookkeeping, but it adds to the harsh environment a post-apocalyptic setting should have.
To make room for the new optional rules and mutant generator, I reformatted the Tomorrows Ashes NPCs. All the same content is there, but a little more condensed.
