PLAYTESTING
As of this release (v1.0) absolutely zero playtesting has been done. All new content should be decently
balanced, but if something does end up being a little too overpowered, just don’t abuse it. You can also
contact me and let me know and, if there are future updates to this, balance changes might be made.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thank you to darkframboisier, Windijo, Ben H and Ian Holdsworth (all of whom I have never had a
conversation) for inspiring me with ideas posts made on the Gaslands forums back in 2018.
Before the fall, they worked behind the shadows of the world committing sabotage,
espionage, and assassinations. Since the bombs fell, however, things are a little less ‘in
the shadows’ and a little more ‘live TV broadcasts’. Hiring only the best professional
Agents, Hitmen, Spies and G-men, The Agency can still get it done the good ol’
fashioned way; with class, subtly and a martini to celebrate. Or at the very least with
more subtly than your wasteland killer who would simply prefer to do a drive-by in
their War Rig. The Gaslands Death Races provide the perfect cover to cause an
‘accidental’ death for their target, so you will frequently see an Aston Martin or two
grace the races.
Teams sponsored by The Agency gain the following Perks (refer when playing):
Jettisoning your extra Dropped Weapons with the ‘Bring it Back in One Piece’
sponsor perk might just make the difference with your Explosion Check roll.
Teams sponsored by The Agency also gain the following Perks (refer when building):
The Technology Perk Gyroscope’s random roll can allow multiple Daring Perks
to exist across the team, however, if Gyroscope rolls a Daring Perk the
gyroscoped vehicle already has, do not re-roll, just pretend the vehicle
never had Gyroscope to begin with.

Radiation loving freaks from the fringes of what’s left of the world or, as they prefer,
the Children of the Apocalypse, are a group of lunatics that worship the leaders of
Mars for ‘blessing’ Earth with the almighty atom! Pro-Mars and Pro-Apocalypse,
these irradiated men and women live and die to compete for the chance to have their
faith witnessed by those they venerate. Viewing the spread of radiation as a good thing
they arm themselves with ad-hoc weaponry complete with nasty radioactive payloads,
as well as frequently expose themselves to the “healing properties” of nuclear fallout.
Curiously, this excessive exposure doesn’t come without its benefits however, as many
members of the cult seem to display unnatural talents, albeit at the loss of a few
decades of life. Whether a side-effect of the radiation poisoning or an unconscious
realisation about their condition, the total lack of self-preservation shown by the
Children at least makes for some spectacular viewing!
Teams sponsored by Children of Apoc. gain the following Perks (refer when playing):
Only 1 crew sacrifice is needed to trigger and sustain pushing the engines
above Max Gear in “Witness Me!”. However, after dropping back to your Max
Gear, a new crew sacrifice will be needed to trigger the effect again.

The news crews of Channel 5, a station dedicated to 24-hour-multi-feed coverage
of the Gaslands, hosts some of the most death-defying individuals to ever hit the
asphalt and airways. Fully backed by the Martian Racing Federation, all the
channel’s lead anchors have access to trigger the traps woven throughout the
Gaslands arenas and/or deliver boons to drivers in need; anything to ensure the race
remains as exciting as possible for the audiences back home. Now although not
permitted to physically interact with the official drivers in any given event, the news
crews have long since determined that “psychological, emotional, and even
‘accidental’ interactions” are not banned in any of their contracts; and much to the
contrary, actually appear to be rewarded. In several lower tier races last year a few
news crews actually took home first place and seemingly got to keep their trophies.
Teams sponsored by Channel 5 gain the following Perks (refer when playing):
This team may only purchase vehicles in the below table and
gains a free stock ‘News Van’ worth 8 Cans when building a team.
** If the News Van looks familiar to you, you’re not going crazy, it is identical in
every way to the Ice Cream Truck. Even the Special Rule ‘Bad Publicity’ is
identical to the Ice Cream Truck rule ‘Infuriating Jingle’, it just needed a
little retheming to suit.

Little is known about the hacking virtuoso that goes simply by C1PH3R. They
claimed the series of electrical-attacks against Martian installations in late 2012
and were then, later that same year, deemed responsible for the ousting of several
Pro-Earth Resistance splinter cells. Seemingly doing what they do just because they
can, they show no know allegiance and have, to date, never been close to getting
caught. In recent years however, they have apparently taken a liking to Gaslands,
with several underground drivers claiming they are sponsored by the recluse directly.
While it is unknown how valid these claims are, one thing is certain: these drivers
are well known for deploying all manner of electrical trickery in attempt to secure
the win. and are to be avoided at all costs.
Teams sponsored by C1PH3R gain the following Perks (refer when playing):
Teams sponsored by C1PH3R gain the following Perks (refer when building):

This team may purchase a single Mishkin restricted weapon
or Mishkin restricted upgrade.
Teams sponsored by C1PH3R may purchase the following:
The Experimental Vehicle Override Chip Gun is a weapon that allows C1PH3R
himself to attempt a vehicle override from his blackout site somewhere on Earth.

Vultures, like their namesake, scavenge the wastes in search of an easy meal and the
means to keep on surviving. Unlike their namesake however, these scavengers roll
around in 600 horsepower of twisted, hulking, scrap metal that simultaneously
appears to be falling apart, yet never seems to stop moving toward its prey. Adorned
with more spikes and barbs than most things in nature, if you venture off the beaten
track, you’re gonna want nature to get you first. If you weren’t born into their way
of life, you’re either a source of clean clothes and fresh scrap, or a moving buffet ready
to be spiked. Over the years the Gasland Races have steadily attracted more and more
of these drivers, as the spoils of the race far outweigh the limited opportunities
presented in the wasteland.
