How It Works Radiation Table Supplements (RTS) are built to enhance and expand the Radiation Table in the deadEarth Player’s Handbook (PHB). You may ask yourself why we would want to expand the 1000 radiations on the original table. The answer is that we are just plain crazy. :-) We keep coming up with new radiations and we thought you’d like to see what we’ve come up with. RTS’ often refer to radiations listed in the PHB. When this happens the radiations are denoted as “(000) Radiation name.” When a radiation refers to an RTS its notation will look like “(RTS8-00) Radiation name.” We suggest three methodologies to implement an RTS into your dE gaming environment: random selection, replacement, or reconstruction. Use random selection to allow for the most diversity in radiation. Before each gaming session you (as the game master) should create small strips of paper with the names of each supplement and each section of radiations from the deadEarth Player’s Handbook (i.e.: 100s, 200s, 300s, …, RTS3). Put each strip into a hat, dice bag, potato chip bag, or any other container you’ve got laying around. Before each gaming session, each player will draw from the hat to determine which table they will roll on for that gaming session. At the beginning of each new gaming session, each player will redraw. Another way to introduce an RTS into your radiation table is to use the replacement method. This method is simple. Simply pick a section of the radiation table (for example: the 300s), and then replace that section with a given RTS. Our final suggestion for bringing an RTS into your gaming environment is quite tedious, but is sometimes the most gratifying. The method we’re talking about is called reconstruction. Use a word processor or spreadsheet to create a new list of radiations, which you handpick from the PHB or any RTS. We don’t suggest that you waste your time typing out all the descriptions, instead simply type the number to roll, the name of the radiation, and its original number. Your list will look like this:

000 Avian hybrid 060 001 Dreadful RTS1-13 002 Heightened Senses 144 … etc. …

By creating a list like this you can really customize your radiation table to suit your campaign, players, etc. and by listing the original numbers, you and your players will be able to easily look up the radiation’s description.

Radiation Table RTS2-00 Frogman. You are slowly turning into something out of a 1960’s “Attack Of…” movie. Every D6 weeks add a cross-mutation from an amphibian. Treat these cross-mutations as binary. When your amphibian cross-mutations are greater than the total number of other radiations that you have, then remove Frogman from your list of radiations. Removing Frogman from your list of radiations does not remove your amphibian cross-mutations. cost: none. range: self. effect: temporary. RTS2-01 Restraint. The number of radiations on your list cannot be greater than your renown. Remove radiations from your list until this is true starting with the first radiation on your list. Restraint can be removed in this way, but the initial effect must still take place (reduce number until equal to renown). cost: none. range: self. effect: binary. RTS2-02 Fortuitous mutation. Add a cross-mutation to your list of any type. Add one (1) to strength, resiliency, and moves. cost: none. range: self. effect: cumulative. RTS2-03 Lead poisoning. You have ingested a large amount of heavy metal particles that are weakening your body and its immune system. Subtract xD6 from running and weight training (distributed as you wish between the two), where x is a D6. Also subtract x times 10 from your shielding. cost: none. range: self. effect: cumulative. RTS2-04 Fever. You have contracted a serious fever. Subtract x from all rolls, where x is a D6, for a period of 2D6 days. Then remove fever. cost: none. range: self. effect: temporary. RTS2-05 Alone. You have a fear of being separated from the group. You will avoid being separated at all costs. If all other members of the group die, you will have to beat a difficult resolve roll to keep from committing suicide. cost: none. range: self. effect: binary. RTS2-06 Antisocial. Subtract 2D6 from charisma. cost: none. range: self. effect: cumulative. RTS2-07 Leaps and bounds. You will no longer gain any skill points by performing skills. Each time you add renown, you will gain 250 skill points per point of renown. Add one (1) renown. cost: none. range: self. effect: binary. RTS2-08 Auxiliary mutations. Choose an animal you currently have a cross-mutation with; if you do not have any cross-mutations, re-roll on this table. You may spend 60 skill points at any time to add another cross-mutation of your choice with that same animal. Your choice of animal is fixed when auxiliary mutations is added to your list. cost: 60 skill points. range: self. effect: cumulative. RTS2-09 Cumulative mutations. Each time you add a cross-mutation to your list, you may also add a cross-mutation of your choice with any animal you already have at least one cross-mutation with. If the mutations are not added immediately, the option to add is forfeit. cost: none. range: self. effect: binary.

RTS2-10 Complementary mutations. From now on, every time you add a cross-mutation to your list, you may instead add up to D6 cross-mutations of your choice from the same organism. cost: none. range: self. effect: binary. RTS2-11 Precarious power. You can use the power of any radiation manipulation from the Radiation Table or any supplement by spending 15 skill points in addition to the costs (if any) of that power. However, if you choose to use that power, you must roll on the table that you chose the power from. cost: 15 skill points plus a roll on the table. range: any radiation table. effect: binary. RTS2-12 Subordinate mutations. Only D6 of your dominant cross-mutations will have an effect at any one time. Each time you add a cross-mutation, you may choose to make it one of your dominant ones, removing the effect of one of the subordinates. All mutations stay on your list, and if a dominant is removed, a subordinate of your choice will take its place. cost: none. range: self. effect: binary. RTS2-13 Mutation supplements. Your game master will determine a substance which, when you ingest it, can possibly cause you to cross-mutate. Each time it is eaten, roll percentiles; if you roll over 50, you may add a cross-mutation to your list from one of the following categories (determined by the game master): mammal, reptile, amphibian, bird, and fish. cost: none. range: self. effect: binary. RTS2-14 Peripheral mutation. You may only choose cross-mutations, which affect your physical appearance.

A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language. A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any


-14-

mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them. The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output purposes only. The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text. 2. VERBATIM COPYING You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.

3. COPYING IN QUANTITY If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects. If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages. If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public. It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. 4. MODIFICATIONS You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission. B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified


-16-

Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five). C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher. D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices. F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence. J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein. L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version. N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard. You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already


-17-

includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version. 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice. The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History" in the various original documents, forming one section entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections entitled "Endorsements." 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the


-18-

compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they are not themselves derivative works of the Document. If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate. Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate. 8. TRANSLATION Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License provided that you also include the original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original English version of this License, the original English version will prevail. 9. TERMINATION You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents


-19-

To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices just after the title page: Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME. Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentation License". If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant Sections" instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have no Front-Cover Texts, write "no Front-Cover Texts" instead of "Front-Cover Texts being LIST"; likewise for Back-Cover Texts. If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software.
