▲"Mutant: Undergångens Arvtagare" is a Swedish tabletop roleplaying game. The world ended over a millennium ago, and a new world has grown in the ruins.
▲Players have four classes to chose between: Human, Mutant, Psionic, and Robot. (While most games classify such options as races, in this game they are labeled classes.) Mutants and psionics can be either human or [[Half Human Hybrid]]. The human versions can often pretend to be real humans, but risk getting exposed. The hybrids have a more stable social status.
Humans are the aristocracy of the local empires, the inheritors of those who rose from their underground bunkers so long ago and re-conquered the world. Their technology has withered away since, but they still cling on to their former glory. Human characters are given a lot of social advantages from the start; a poor outsider human still has a far greater chance to establish herself in society then a mutant.
Line 13 ⟶ 12:
Psionics have mental superpowers, but are persecuted.
Robots have special rules and powers, but also lots of
The game world is centered on [[The Empire|Pyrisamfundet]], taking up the middle of what used to be Sweden. Other important nations are [[Police State|Ulvriket]], Gotland, and the city-state of [[The Republic|Göborg]].
Line 19 ⟶ 18:
These countries control their cities somewhat well. The countryside is less lawful, and the "forbidden zones" are entirely outside government control. These zones are dangerous in various ways. One zone causes madness in those who enter, another is full of aggressively growing crystals, and so on.

* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: Some of the ancient artifacts.
* [[After the End]]: The timeline starts a unknown number of centuries after the apocalypse.
* [[Amusing Alien]]: ancient robot characters often fill this role.
* [[Animal Wrongs Group]]: An entire species are made as a parody of this trope. Rubbitar, a race of sentient rabbits, hate all
* [[Apocalypse How]]: Type 2, in the backstory.
* [[Attack Animal]]: Quite common.
* [[Black and Grey Morality]]: Some of the adventures feature really horrible villains, while the better factions are still morally dubious. Of course, the player characters can still be knights in shining armor of the gamemaster allows, but the game itself is really not designed that way.
* [[Black Comedy]]: Satire about
* [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe]]: Psionics are often treated this way by naive characters.
* [[Doomsday Device]]: Several, and they all lack proper maintenance...
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: In the form of giant
* [[The Empire]]: Pyrisamfundet, where most of
* [[Equippable Ally]]: Common.
* [[Grey and Grey Morality]]: The normal mood of the game, with all sides being dubious and having lots of questionable baggage.
* [[Half
* [[Lost Technology]]: A cornerstone of the setting.
* [[Living Weapon]]: Fits the setting.
* [[Neglectful Precursors]]: They left
* [[Nonsense Classification]]: Pyrisamfundet doesn't like to have a forbidden zone in the middle of their nation. They feel it's embarrassing. So they decided that it isn't a real forbidden zone. Sure, it's an ash-desert full of monsters and mysterious phenomena - but hey, this area is geographically shaped like a square. ''Real'' forbidden zones are round!
* [[No Such Thing
* [[Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions]]: Subverted - the humans pride themselves with their rationality and knowledge, but they have lost true science. Their knowledge is muddled, full of misunderstandings, superstitions and ancestor worship.
* [[
* [[Police State]]: Ulvriket, one of Pyrisamfundets prime competitors.
* [[Punny Name]]: Lots of them.
Line 47 ⟶ 46:
* [[The Republic]]: The City-State of Göborg fills this role.
* [[Steampunk]]: A bit of it. The civilization is on steam power level.
* [[Stupidity
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: Defied - Depending on how you count, there are three or four different games calling themselves
* [[We ARE Struggling Together!]]: One of the reasons the humans have such power over the humanoid mutated animals is that the various animal groups typically hate each other. When they try to unite against their oppressors, dark hilarity often ensues.
