Join our very own Christophor Rick as he runs players through his latest published adventure, Ziggurat of the Megaton Maiden for Mutant Crawl Classics. The Mutation Nation, a lawless radiation cult who worship the Megaton Maiden, also known as the Atomic Momma, Mother of Mutants, and the Radiation Maiden, strive to bring the gift of the atom to all. The Doomsday Clock stands at 2 minutes to midnight and the Mutation Nation have taken over Nooktun, a massive Ancients facility that once supplied the power of the atom to the region. They are preparing a ritual that will cause a massive detonation of ancient technology. This will bathe the region in radiation which they believe will allow all to bask in the mutating glow of the Megaton Maiden and become true Children of the Atom. But will it? Or will it kill everything within 50 clicks? The race is on to stop them! 4-8 players. Some RPG experience preferred but will gladly train new players.
