In the Ancients’ movies and literature, undead were often created by magic, curses, or other supernatural phenomena. The hideous and terrifying creatures now stalking the wastelands are closer to another theme from the ancestors’ popular culture: technology run amok, the escaped infectious creations of mad scientists. But the Ancient biotech engineers were not usually mad, and the infections did not escape. Instead, it was much, much worse: undead were born as nanite terror weapons, and intentionally used.

This expanded issue of Wisdom from the Wastelands contains 25 fully described and stat’ed horrifying undead monsters created through a combination of technology and biology, and discusses their general traits; transmission, incubation, and treatment; and place in the post-apocalyptic world.

This publication is dedicated to providing useful information, game content, and ideas to players of modern, science fiction, and post-apocalyptic table-top and role-playing games in general and to fans of Goblinoid Games’ Mutant Future retroclone of classic Gamma World in particular; the rules contained herein are compatible with it and any others that use the “Basic” OGL/d20 RPG system. It has also been expanded and improved in a number of ways with this issue, to include now having 25 pages of game content instead of five and having its format upgraded from a newsletter to a magazine with a full-color cover.
