Metamorphasis Alpha

them and rolls of 3-6 force the monster to close first and lose any possible surprise. If a monster
is rolled for, the judge should also roll to see if either group is surprised.
The wandering monster list must be of 5 parts, with one list for the forested areas, where you
would naturally find a larger amount of animals and plants, and the other lists having less wild
types and more intelligent types since these areas (nonforested areas) are harder to get into.
While the possible list of creatures (mutations) is endless. those presented in the list shown are
the dominant strains on the ship - referees may wish to expand the lists and add ideas of their
own.
In using these charts, some judge’s discretion should be used. For instance, if players are
traveling in a forested area and cross a hex where a human tribe lives and a wandering monster is
found to be present, then it might simply be a human from the tribe. Common sense is often the
guide in such situations.

HUMAN TRIBAL AREAS
It has been previously stated that all humans start out in some type of human settlement. These
settlements must be set up by the judge and will generally provide most of the things a player
needs. All such settlements will be very small population-wise (100-300 humans at most), and in
all cases the humans will be very backwards technology-wise. Here is one example of the
