Marvin Allen, Paul Deckert, Kevin Lowry, Alan
Moen, Reg Roehl, Eric Snider, Michelle
Spainhour, John Speck, Don Woodward, and
Elaine Walquist. And a special thanks to that guy

managed to break most of the bones in his charac

about that one...

Enough said .
Now , in our game world , gone mad with runaway mutation ,
we ' ve just exaggerated the damage that man has already done .
Each of the jungle ' s threats is magnified and their number has
grown . For every mold there is today , in the world of After the
Bomb � there are a dozen super-molds . For every insect, a
hundred mutated bugs. And in the mutant jungle, the ever-pre
sent, omnipresent heat and humidity has intensified.

Player characters in the world of Mutants of the Yucatan are
those on their way to explore the strange mutant jungles of the

Lo-Ki-Yin
Monkey Tribe
Based on an obscure tribe of Yumisquia Indians , the Monkey
Tribe has a reputation for fiercenes s , but also for fairness . They
make their homes in the middle and highest levels of the jungle
canopy , eating fruit, insects and tender new leaves . A large
variety of different species of mutant monkeys belong to this
one tribe .
They have cultivated a reputation as eaters of fellow mutant
animals . Aside from wearing fierce war paint, and ornaments
made from the skulls and bones of smaller mutant animals , they
like to describe themselves as "Lo-Ki-Yin , " or cannibals . Give
them half a chance and they ' ll describe frightening tortures that
they will inflict on their intended menu of captive mutant animals .
However, this is just a big bluff that they like to put on to scare
their jungle neighbors .

EHS-Joseph McCarthy
The Empire of Humanity ' s primary base for their Yucatan
strike force is a refurbished and renamed light aircraft carrier .
Originally built around 1 999 A . D . during a conservation kick,
it is designed to draw its power exclusively from ecologically
safe , renewable energy sources , namely , the sun and the sea.
On a clear day solar panels provide 1 00% of ship ' s power. A
secondary power system, which can be deployed so long as the
ship is at rest, involves projecting a tube deep under water. The
pressure differential pushes the water up from the depths, runs
a turbine , and can recharge the ship ' s batteries in less than three
hours .
Capable of carrying a far larger load of aircraft, the McCarthy
currently supports only fourteen ( 1 4) Saber- 1 9s , and twenty (20)

Personal Profile: Unlike most Empire of Humanity officers ,
Captain Lovejoy is not in the least ambitious . He does his
job , performs to the absolute limit of his considerable abilities
and never questions authority . As he might say , "It is not my
job to question my orders , only to carry them out as quickly
and efficiently as possible . "
Although Principled i n alignment, he does not regard mut
ant animals as "people , " but as a threat . However, he treats
the mutant canines in his command with exactly the same
mix of fair rewards and punishments as any other member
of the crew . His explanation is , "When you see a uniform ,
you deal with the uniform . The contents of the uniform are
irrelevant . "

Economy: Although the government of B aj a Mexico i s run
almost entirely on bribery , the area is fairly stable . However,
prices are generally twice the standard rate , and many items
taken for granted elsewhere are not available in Baj a . Both
the Peso and Americorp dollars are usually accepted .
Roadways: The roads are among the worst in Imperial Mexico .
Even the main connections are decaying dirt roads , filled with
potholes . Gas , oil and mechanical services are available at
most trading posts and general stores , usually for about twice
the standard prices .
Governor Jose Quintana: Mutant Parrot
The best and worst things you can say about Quintana is
that he is a bandit. It' s bad because he steals whenever pos
sible . It' s good because , as a bandit , he really isn ' t very
efficient. Unless he actually notices you , he' s no threat.
