After the Bomb articles in the Rifter

If you haven't picked up Rifter #29, then you should know that there is an article in it with several new mutant animal species included.

Submitted by Caleb Goodson, this article includes arachnids, slugs, aquatics, chimera, and many more.

Included with the Chimera are notes regarding an underground arena circuit that ran before the Crash, and possible still does in the Free Cattle territories. Sounds like an interesting idea if you wanted to run a Gladiator style game.

Fans of After the Bomb should also pick up a copy of Rifter #18 [link] for the Q&A article.

The article gives a good example of how to create Mutant Animal templates for animals that are not listed in the Second Edition After the Bomb book, answers the question as to why there are no rules for gaining new skills in the AtB setting, the missing Hunting skill bonuses, and suggestions on how to "upgrade" First Edition After the Bomb characters and animal templates to be more compatable with Second Edition.
