There are a lot of situations in tabletop in which you can get mutated. Wild magic, a mutant’s breath, a radioactive dragon, and even eating the organs of a magical creature.

In my current Old School Essentials game, there are a few situations I could foresee where the player characters might just deal with one of the above dangers. So, I turned to my favorite Mutation table, rather than use the one provided in one of the modules I’m running.

Umerican Survival Guide is a setting and series of sourcebooks written by Reid San Filippo, and they contain by far my favorite take on post-apocalyptic fiction in tabletop. It blends sci-fi, fantasy, and gonzo pulp fiction into a seamless patchwork quilt of hilarious and grotesque takes on America, and I highly recommend it. 10/10, seriously. I don’t really do reviews, but this series of books is a masterpiece. Start with the funnel Damn Tasty and tell me I’m wrong. I dare you.

The mutation table of USG is so good because it takes select categories of mutation in popular fiction, animalistic, plant-based, rock-based, weapon-like, and your classic big heads and extra arms. It takes all these categories and hammers down to what could go right, and what could go so very wrong. You roll a mutation category, then a specific mutation, then you roll a percentile four times, and if you roll under some numbers, the mutation gains a number of benefits and detriments. The mutation itself mutates.

For example, if you rolled the Gas Bladder mutation, that means you can fill up gas sacks on your body to act like a hot air balloon, sweet! But oops, you rolled one of the detriments of that mutation, and now your sneak checks are filled with farts, and people don’t like talking to you as much!

You get cool wolverine claws, but they keep hurting you when you crit fail with them. You’re a person with leaves and twigs growing out of your face, but what’s this? You rolled the benefit of having explosive berries grow off you too! Now you have little vegan grenades to chuck at unsuspecting goons and robots!

The USG mutation table is a lot, but it’s a blast to roll on, and completely changes the characters. There’s even a class in the setting (aptly named “The Mutant”) that uses special “glow points” to spend whenever they get mutated, in order to lean in the direction they want when rolling for their mutation, benefits, and detriments. It’s incredibly smart.

But here’s the issue. Umerican Survival Guide is a hack of Dungeon Crawl Classics, and therefore, has a ton of stats and weird dice that just don’t go with the B/X or the GLOG at all. So in lieu of hastily hacking the results that my players got during the game, I decided to go through the whole thing and re-vamp it. Most of which is still Reid’s work, though, in situations where a mutation’s benefit or detriment was the same across multiple types, I decided to spice things up.

For instance, Aggregate, the “mineral” type mutations, had only three sections before I got my hands on it. Rocks, Metal, and Crystal. I added in the sand, tar, and coral entries because I felt like there could be even more weird options.

I added new beast types to the animal mutations, removed all the weird same-ness in the plant mutations, and designed an entirely new category of “Unnatural” mutations that replace the “Freak” and “Weaponized” mutations that I tore apart to help supplement other types.

In summary, the whole thing works with OSE now, and since I’m using the excellent Skerples Death and Dismemberment table in my game, a handful of entries mention it as well. This is easily modified, but I felt was a handy way to vary the regeneration or limb regrowth effects that a lot of mutations had. Basically, I just made it what I wanted and needed.

Now I’m sharing it with you. Have some fun, and please support both Reid and Skerples if you like my stuff. They’re amazing.

To use the tables, simply roll a Mutation Type, then roll on that type table for a Mutation. When you have the mutation, roll a d% on each of the detriments and benefits associated with that mutation. If you roll under or equal to the number, your mutation has the associated trait.
