Ilja Schamle powers server with tomatoes in #self-sustaining #ecosystem

A self-sufficient system, dubbed Warm Earth, was designed for an #apocalyptic future, where humanity can no longer depend on #power stations & must turn to live #plants as an alternative energy source.

She has replaced #batteries with living plants in this self-built server system to explore how technology could enter into a relationship with nature.

So, one more "blast from the past" on the #Antichrist / #MAGADeathCult / #TrumpIsEvil topic. I think my FB post from 2019 was right on target. Yeah, #Trump didn't enact all of that in his first term, but he sure is making up for lost time!

"August 23, 2019

"So, | think perhaps a certain faction has managed to make the #ChristianApocalypse crap come true by appointing the 'Chosen One' [#Trump] who is effectively destroying the planet and encouraging others to do so.. Sorry folks. I think madness and #greed are going to win this time...

"(And yes, | know all about #BornAgain #Apocalyptic #mythos -- especially fundamentalist literal interpretation of #Revelations -- having studied it up close and personally... | was once even a Baptist Sunday School teacher)..."

Digital Being PC inhabiting a Medallion Disc

Ink Art from page 73 of The Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules

This device looks like some sort of art déco style piece of ancient jewelry. 2 in 6 will feature genuine gold and silver decorative elements, and of these, 1 in 6 will also be fitted with gemstones which double the buy or sell price. They are very much like palm disks and feature the same chance of a potential add-on. Because they are worn on a stainless steel or leather necklace, they can often be slipped beneath a wearer’s clothing — although doing so blocks the digital being’s visual receptors unless the fabric is specially punctured or of a mesh material.

You can play these digital beings using the new rule book.

Wristwatch Projector
Ink Art from page 72 of The Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules

Besides being an excellent projector that allows hands free use, this watch can also be worn under the wearer’s armor to better protect it — although anything blocking the topside projection emitter will stop the holographic image from appearing, seeing its surroundings or launching its shock generator or most other apps — yet the digital being can still verbally interact with the wearer.

- You can’t come in.

- Please! It’s pouring outside.

- Last time, you ate two of my companions.

- I won’t do that again, I promise!

- That’s easy to say. There’s nobody in here but me.

- What? There were six of you when I left last time.

- They, um, disappeared.

- What happened?

- Don’t ask.

- Ha! I know what you did. You – ouch! Let my in, it’s acid rain again.

- No.

- Come on, I won’t tell anybody. And you can plug your charging device into my plorgnexum, if you want.

- Okay, that’s a deal. But be warned, I have a railgun ready, fully charged, just in case.

- I promise, I’ll behave myself.

The hangar door opens and slowly, Fnobbles crawls in, shaking acid and greenish slime off his pseutacles and waving innocently with his five telescope eyes.

– Thanks! That rain was unbearable! Oh, by the way… you wouldn’t happen to have anything—or anyone—in the freezer, would you?

- The freezer is down for two weeks. Had to can and preserve everything.

- Those jars over there? Yummy!

Pulviss: Monday Mutant 31 just Released!

Don’t become the unwilling subscriber and rope-bound follower of this hulking mutie!

The Pulviss gets its name from the word ‘pulverize’. This apt name serves it well for both its brutal, multiple close-in attacks, as well as its bizarre need to dominate, demoralize and crush the willpower and self respect of those that it collects.

This collector of unwilling playthings, pets, and bait humans includes a 1d8 random mutation table, 2d12 table of possible humanoid thrall captives to rescue, along with a 3d6 table of collectibles that the beast carries as loot, or barter items when in the mood to trade for luxuries.

Montage of assorted Digital Being personas

Ink Art from page 70 of The Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules

Digital Beings go up in rank like any other character, however because they have a few features that physical characters do not, they use their own Rank Gain matrix shown below. If this character inhabits a cyborg, android or robotic body, then these bodies also grow stronger, adapts, and improves through adventuresome exploits, and therefore also go up in rank according to their type. See the section on Digital Being Starting Container or Body on the next page for which containers and body types are eligible to go up in rank.

One week to go! In June I will be offering my month-long "Meet #TheLastMan" module with SPACE (Signum Portals for Adult Continuing Education) #online via #SignumUniversity.

This #MaryShelley novel is one of the most relevant books we can read right now, and I can't wait to discuss it with students!

Critical Hits for Hacking Attacks
Ink Art from page 68 of The Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules

[Dice rolls of 01] Roll 1d10 Outcome of a Critical Hacking Attack

Roll result 10. System Overload! The target CPU suffers a cataclysmic override and bursts into flame amid a shower of sparks. The CPU takes 1d100 data damage and whatever installation, vehicle, body or container it occupies loses the next 1d6 turns and takes 2d20 endurance damage. If the harm from either of these two damage rolls is enough to finish off either the CPU or the body, then the target is fried and ‘dead’ and cannot be occupied by another digital being.

Hacking and Firewall
Besides traits, other details unique to digital beings are their attack and defense modes, with hacking equivalent to strike value, and firewall equivalent to defense value. These traits are abbreviated as HK and FW.
