LET’S MUTATE ALL OVER AGAIN!

In the 80s and 90s, they ruled the streets, kick-flipping off of villainous faces and slipping into the shadows. Then, they vanished from the world of tabletop gaming.

But theyre back. And ready toKICK BUTT.

Mutants in the Nowis a retromodern retake on the mutant animal role-playing games long past and left behind by licensing. Mutants fight to survive, thrive, and make the world better for themselves and humanity.

With well over a hundred species of animals, few mutants will be the same!Species range from the tiny earthworm to the massive whale. Play a placid pika or fierce wolverine! Everything from a common Corgi to the rare axolotl. Forge your unique existence!

Combat styles, psionic powers, and distinct backgroundsfurther define your chimeric character! Whether its the street fighting of Jailhouse Rock, the double jumps of Telekinetic Boosting, or being a defender of a secret enclave, theres numerous ways to build a unique mutant all your own.

Meanwhile, conspiratorial corporations, nouveau ninja, and extradimensional evildoersare up to no good. Go on adventures from the alleyways to orbit in a modern world where the shadows are filled with strangeness. Carve a place in the world as weird as you are!

IT’S FOR THE ANIMALS.

I ran character creation and created a thoughtful, scholarly otter doctor and he’s everything to me now. Check this game out, folks. – HopperUK

Can confirm that Mutants in the Now is both rad and reasonably-priced, and that you should definitely buy a copy if you didn’t already back it. – Grassy Gnoll
