Glowburn: Episode 15 Mutagenesis

Episode 15 Great Disasters - Mutagenesis

Featuring two movies that will survive the end of days...

James - Sacred Shard of Armageddon

For the 200th anniversary of the acclaimed movie Armageddon starring Bruce Willis, Liv Tyler, and Ben Affleck, the movie was AI-infused Holographically Remastered.
To do this, brain cells from all the deceased actors were taken, and then transformed into self aware AI holographs. They were in turn forced to re-create Armageddon, and then later were forced to do live versions of the show on tour around the world.
So each Sacred Shard has an AI version of one of the characters from the movie, rolled at random on a d12:

1 Bruce Willis as Harry S. Stamper
2 Billy Bob Thornton as Dan Truman
3 Liv Tyler as Grace Stamper
4 Ben Affleck as A.J. Frost
5 Will Patton as Chick
6 Peter Stormare as Lev Andropov
7 Keith David as General Kimsey
8 Owen Wilson as Oscar
9 William Fichtner as Colonel Willie Sharp
10 Steve Buscemi as Rockhound
11 Michael Clarke Duncan as Bear
12 Roll twice, and combine both into a horrible, self aware amalgamation of both.

Tech Level 3
Complexity Level 1 (really easy to use)
Range: Special (The holograph is medium sized like a typical PSH, and can only move up to 2’ away from the shard.
Power: C-Cell (2d7 hours), F-Cell (2d7 days), Q-Cell (U)

So, what does it do? Well, quite literally, a fully self-aware version of that character from the movie appears. They know everything they would know from the movie, and can offer tips and tactics to that end.
So maybe your character has the Harry Stamper shard. Well, that means a life size, holograph of Bruce Willis appears. How does that affect your game? That’s up to you.
Black Mirror meets a Michael Bay movie.

Marc - Graboids!

Because somehow new Tremors movies keep coming like worms on your lawn after a heavy rain…
But at some point in the pre-pocalypse world it became cheaper to genetically engineer some actual graboids and then pit them against real people in a weird reality TV survival show.
Unknown years later those creatures have mutated into even more monstrous and lethal creatures. These are not for the faint of heart

Hit Dice: 8d8, avg HP 40
AC: 16, Init +5; Atk bite +8 melee (1d10); or Drag Under Special +4
MV 60’ subterranean only; Act 2d20; SP Drag Under, Tremorsense; SV Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +3.
Tremorsense: The graboid “sees” by sensing any movement and impact on the ground in a 360 degree around them.
Drag Under: If a graboid successfully attacks with a bite on it’s first action in a round it may make a special drag under attack against the target’s strength. If successful the target is dragged below ground and immediately takes an additional 1d14 damage.
