MUTANANNY Playtest Update v0.5!

Cover

• Awesome new cover art by Michael Bracco of Spaghetti Kiss illustration.

Characters

• Berserk is back as a Mutation, replacing Dud, which no one liked.

Engine

• Modifiers changed back to highest bonus and/or penalty only, no stacking.
• Power surges removed to preserve focus on action surges, which were more popular.
• NPC stats gives a one-higher pool for using their name as a concept instead of a bonus.

Scenes:

• Lead in Races now more explicitly tied to whether certain actions are possible.

Resources

•     Nitro no longer bumps you into an entirely different Speed class, which was absurd, now it lets you sacrifice Score for two Edge, basically giving a risky burst of speed and power. 

• Many other new vehicle mods added, old ones rejiggered.     

• Cosmetic mods removed, expanded into a more freeform list of vehicle fashion disasters.     

• Mods and Vehicle repair now based on their Speed, not Frame.     

• The merits of small APC wet cell batteries extolled.

• Lead in Races now more explicitly tied to how certain modifications can be used.

Setting

• List of obstacles for the Mutananny track with difficulties and consequences.

• Example Mutananny track shown around one of the Dumps.

• Race group Check given to make things easier on the guide; each NPC team gets one Check but may discard an ally as a Twist, repeatedly even.

• Boarding shown as an explicit strategy, though it was there all the time.
