Check This Artifact

Treasure or Terror?

You caught the glint of metal underneath the dirt and the damp, so you started digging. With a little effort, and one eye on any challengers to your claim, you held your prize.

An artifact of the Ancient Makers!

But now your wariness increases to an almost audible pitch, as you begin the most dangerous of all tasks — you examine its mysterious surfaces, studs, and touchplates. Your fellow rovers, wise to the ways of the Before Time, all begin to back up to a respectable distance, lest they be caught in any mishaps at your hands and your sweating fingertips. Now comes the time for both luck and determination. Can you unlock and master the secrets of this device of ancient imperishable power?

What's Between the Covers

Clocking in at 60 pages and crammed with content, Check This Artifact contains 30 brand-new artifacts of the Ancient Makers, plus a full write up of a new godlike AI and its neural programs, all for use in any d20-based post-apocalyptic role playing game. Penned by the creator of Mutant Crawl Classics RPG and published by Mudpuppy Games, these powerful technological treasures are more than mere artifacts, because each item in this book is a plot hook and a potential mini-adventure in the making.

Check This Artifact presents artifacts for your players to attempt to track down, tame, and temper — including weapons, armor, robots, AIs, and those extra-special items that are the sole purview of far-future fiction. The PDF edition also includes a prinatble full-color world setting map for Omega-Terra!

Digital version of this book includes a printable full-color world map of Omega-Terra!

The patron taint for the new AI is terrible. It was designed to assist soldiers in the field and yet all the forms of taint weaken the caster. Fortunately for those with the DCC Annual there are two patrons that could be used instead- The Horned King (for the AI that considers the world a hunting ground) and Nhool (for the AI that wants to win the Final Wars centuries after the cataclysm). A few minor modifications and both tables work just fine.

Otherwise this is a great toolbox of stuff.

I don't get it. I found a used copy of this book on eBay. It says it's system neutral, but the stat formatting is exactly as Mutant Crawl Classics, just with the serial numbers filed off. Was the author not able to get a 3rd party license for the very game he wrote? AI patrons, artifact checks and wetware result tables. They're all here, just with the name slightly altered. You even need the funky dice for some of the rolls, which is not standard in any RPG except DCC/MCC.

Any chance of a print on demand option?

I'm gutted that I missed the KS for this.

Definitely want the PoD option as I can think of three campaigns I can use this for without even trying!

For some reason this is not appearing in searches. I have tried a few different ways and the one that should pick it up the fastest (the title) doesn't work. Nor does searching for "artifacts" and search by date. The publisher should contact OBS and ask why.

The PDF is excellent. Hopefully, there will be a print-on-demand version soon!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
