QZ [$5.00]

QZ [$5.00]:

A hack of Electric Bastionland and Into the Odd inspired by Roadside Picnic and Annihilation. 

• 100 character "alterations" (like being able to hear warnings uttered by animals, finger bones you can shoot as projectiles, and when you get a cut, the skin opens to reveal a functional eyeball) 
• 40 pre-made artifacts (like seeds that grow into human hands, foggy lenses that show the past, and tables to randomly make your own artifacts, like a hovering, pearlescent lattice of crystal that absorbs light)
• 80 super-compact encounters (like a baseball-sized tick that turns you invisible, a disembodied brain trying to burrow into your skull to eat your brain and take over your body, and an extremely awkward birthday party)
• Tables to generate alien-warped terrain in the City, the Wilderness, the Wasteland, and the Tunnels below, plus a few example locations (like a settlement built out of scrap on giant sea-mushrooms where residents are kept in the dark about the outside world)
• 78 pages including covers, with 22 full-page illustrations CC BY BEEPLE
