The Mutant Epoch Hub Rules:

A very well-made post-apocalyptic RPG system

robertonavarro Reviewed in Canada on October 13, 2024

Having played old-school role playing games such as Runequest and Gamma World, The Mutant Epoch takes the best features of both RPGs into a fusion of something fun, fast-paced and interesting. My hard copy of the core rulebook is the print on demand version from Amazon. Character generation gives you the option to generate a post-apocalyptic survivor ranging from the standard Pure Stock Human (think Pure Strain Human in Gamma World) to Clones, Bioreplicas, Transhumans, Cyborgs and of course, Mutants. And mutants a-plenty there are: different types from those with subtle mutations to the really freaky ones, as well a animal-human hybirds. Mr. McAusland is a prolific creator- the book is packed with material from relic technology to junk crafting. There are beasts, implants, mutations and weapons. There are countless black and white illustrations that are evocative and very detailed- something that reminds me of the old Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying game rules for the 1980s. Combat appears to be deadly - something that does justice to the post-apocalyptic genre, and if you are looking for a comprehensive feel of the world The Day After, this does not disappoint.

Amazon.com review of Dog Daze

By McKendry Herrmann

A phenomenal post-apocalyptic dungeon crawl!

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2022

Fans of old school post-apocalyptic roleplaying couldn't ask for more! A chunky, 240-page adventure that delivers true action and excitement! The ingenious design allows for gamemasters to enjoy hours of solo-play as a means to prep their group's next adventure. Various locales and scenes taking place within the adventure are beautifully drawn on nearly every page further aiding in the immersion. If you are looking for the opportunity to experience a fun, unsanitized post-apocalyptic adventure in the "comfort food" style of classic dungeon crawls then look no further! For players already familiar with The Mutant Epoch this is a true classic, rivaling TME-1 "Mall of Doom".

 

 

 
 

Hey, check out this  Youtube Review of the Mutant Epoch RPG and Pitford by Scott Taylor of Art of the Genre on Youtube. July 2021

 

 

This is a review given by Paxton K. for this product on 9/4/2015 I felt it is a far better review then the one I had intended to write so I have re-posted it here for the RPG.net community to see.

 

"This is possibly the best game I have ever purchased out of hundreds of games. I have read the other reviews and will try and fill in some of the blanks for those who are trying to decide if this is the P. A. game they want.

It is set 300 years or so into the future. No one is really sure what the cause of The End was; but it follows a lot of the tropes established. It is not breaking new ground. It is, however, covering this ground thoroughly without getting stuck in every detail.

Mutants, clones, engineered animals, cyborgs and modified humans make up the cast and read more at rpg.net....

Shelby "D.J." Babb’s review at rpg.net of The Mutant Epoch hub rules
The Mutant Epoch table top RPG (hereafter referred to as ME) is a 246 page post-apocalyptic game by Outland Arts, and specifically by William McAusland.  And it’s surprisingly good for being the result of one lone person’s post gonzo atomic gaming output.  It’s also a dense tome of game and art, so strap yourself in while I try to do it all justice.

Shelby "D.J." Babb’s REVIEW OF THE MALL OF DOOM
The Mall of Doom (hereafter referred to as MoD) is a “multi-path” adventure module for the post-apocalyptic Mutant Epoch RPG. The premise is straightforward enough: villagers from the town of Walsave have been disappearing, and the PCs have been hired to find out what happened to them. But discovering what happened and being able to do anything about it are two very different challenges. Are your players up to the post-apocalyptic horrors that await them?

May 27th 2011, We got a couple of great youtube reviews from tetsubo57  The Mutant Epoch Gaming Book Review  ( http://www.youtube.com/user/tetsubo57#p/u/37/q1Yn9qub1bU ) and RPG Pondering Mutant Epoch Character Generation ( http://www.youtube.com/user/tetsubo57#p/u/36/FHDJlbvVPYg ). It was great to get another review from somebody whoa actually read the book, although he did say he found the type a bit small. We will increase the font size wherever possible in the upcoming books. His gladiator character sounded fun to play.

 

 

Review of The Mutant Epoch RPG by Chris McNeil

An excellent RPG that perfectly captures the feel and energy of old school gaming (but with a brand new rule system) Fun, Furious and Fantastical, this game was a joy to read.

The best thing for me about the game is the fluff/setting and the Artwork. I loved Will McAusland's work in the Dungeon Crawl Classics line of modules from Goodman Games. And as this book is also written by Will we get a ton of his art work. The book is literally overflowing with his evocative post apoc fantasy illustrations

I can't say enough good things about the presentation of this product. If you are at all a fan of Post-Apocalypse gamming or even Post-Apoc fiction, then treat yourself to this book. All in all an absolutely fantastic product. I bought the PDF from DriveThru and the Dead Tree version from Lulu (which is rare that I buy both versions of any RPG)

Rating:
[5 of 5 Stars!]
 

 

This book is FANTASTIC. Definitely FIVE STARS. If you like Gamma World (TSR/WOC) or Mutant Future (Goblinoid Games)- you will absolutely love Mutant Epoch. Great art, cool mutations, detailed character creation, & plenty of ideas for encounters make this a must buy. They even have a gaming forum for chat & ideas. Also a section with FREE downloadable adventures & rules supplements. Buy it now & join the Society of Excavators today. I'm looking forward to their next book.

Mutant Epoch (RPG): A good solid game. I love the random character creation for the sheer amount of variety you can get from mutants to cyborgs, with your escaped slave starting with his manacles and a dead rat for equipment. The game has flavor in spades so my gaming group will be wandering the wastes of the mutant epoch for a long time.
