Line 5:
"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 34:
* [[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 -Human Hybrid]]: Pigs and Dogs are big ethnic groups in the empire, while rabbits are usually hostile. All and any animals are possible: One canon character is a humanoid frog.
* [[Lost Technology]]: A cornerstone of the setting.
* [[Living Weapon]]: Fits the setting.
Line 41:
* [[No Such Thing As Space Jesus]]: While the psions can perform miracles and are revered as prophets among the mutant tribes, the humans know that it's "only psionics", nothing more.
* [[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.
* [[PeoplesPeople's Republic of Tyranny]]: The republic Gotland is probably a bit of this, but it's hard to say for sure since the country was never given a expansion of it's own.
* [[Police State]]: Ulvriket, one of Pyrisamfundets prime competitors.
* [[Punny Name]]: Lots of them.
Line 48:
* [[Steampunk]]: A bit of it. The civilization is on steam power level.
* [[Stupidity Inducing Attack]]: This exists as a psionic power known as "Parasit" (would be "Parasite" in English). The character increases one of his own attributes by stealing it from someone else, and Intelligence can be the chosen attribute.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: Defied - Depending on how you count, there are three or four different games calling themselves "Mutant". The first was very close to Mutant UA, while the second and [[Mutant Chronicles|third]] had nothing in common with it. Mutant UA is back to basics, returning to the original gameworld while giving it some big updates.
* [[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.
* [[Writtenbythe Winners]]: Played straight, exaggerated, parodied and [[Played for Laughs]].
