Marble Marshes
 |
This Zone Compendium for "Mutant: Year Zero" game is translated from the Russian original "Marble Marshes" made by Studio 101 .
The grey sky had been crying tears of drizzling cold rain over the ground for several days now. Each step was more difficult than the last¸ with the swampy ground sucking at the travellers' feet and vyak-vyaks circling overhead as mementoes to dark thoughts¸ singing their vile song. Agafon limped¸ one leg all but useless after an unlucky fight with a razorback. Mora helped him along¸ but he kept on repeating: "I won't make it far.” "The hell you won't¸” Mora responded in a growling tone. Orpho¸ Agafon's dog¸ smelled the air with a loud huff and whimpered. "We make it to the Bridge and then we rest. It'll be great¸ you'll see!” Mirza was an optimist and it was infectious¸ coming from her. She knew how to find the words and how to say them¸ even if the situation was dire. "And if it isn't all that great¸ I can always make you a scrap leg¸” Ignat offered¸ trying to help. "Look!” Mirza raised her hand¸ pointing skyward as the sun broke through the grey tapestry of clouds and instantly reflected off a large¸ golden ray crowning an Ancient building...
Zone Compendium "Marble Marshes” is a supplement to "Mutant: Year Zero” that lays bare the secrets of the Ancients' Northern Capital (inspired by Saint-Petersburg) . Within this book are four new special Sectors¸ tied up in a single storyline¸ a map of the Marble Marshes¸ new monsters¸ Ark projects¸ artefacts¸ and rules for forklift and battle car fights!
Special sector "The Bridge” . The PCs dive right into an interconnected conflict¸ concerning politics and power. Whose side will they take? Will they be able to stop the bloodshed or will they become its cause? Special sector "Two Crosses” . This civilized settlement seems to have everything under control. It hosts a Tradehouse¸ a Gamehouse¸ and a Renthouse where tired travelers can spend the night. However¸ a schism is brewing amongst the Playful God's followers... Special sector "Big Build” . Big Build offers the promise of something grandiose. Lights are seen in the night¸ slaves are gathered¸ scrap and artifacts are hauled there. They say that the "Northern Star¸” whatever that is¸ rises over Big Build. Special sector "The Seaport Lands” . They say that the Steel Caverns of those lands are home to speaking animals who learned how to talk to their riding cars and see the future... Rumors . Each sector holds its own rumor section that will allow the GM to give out story hooks about events¸ places¸ and monsters within the Marble Marshes. New artifacts ¸ including a tabletop game¸ crossbow with a revolving cylinder¸ and a lifeboat. Rules for playing tabletop games. Unique events¸ mishaps¸ and landscape tables . New People's projects ¸ for example¸ chess¸ pigeon post¸ tabletop roleplaying games¸ moving ark¸ etc. Nine new monsters ¸ including the Megapigeons¸ bloodsuckers¸ and vyak-vyaks. Rules for running forklift and battle car tournaments ¸ as well as rules for building and "taming” your own battle car!
