Transit

   Scattered about Perdidt Mundo are the remnants of the Ancients high speed transport system. There are a very few lines that are still operational. The working ones feature sealed platforms, tunnels, and are energized by a power station. Reliable and fast. Then there are remnants that are abandoned. These are dangerous from the conditions, and the possible denizens that dwell there. But may still be a better way to travel to certain places.

Relics of the Ancients

     Relics of the Ancients can be found. Typically in long lost ruins and passed and traded as heirlooms. This is sampling of a few relics.

Night Goggles
These goggles made of metal, special glass and synthetic materials. Allows a person to see perfectly at night as if it was daylight. Requires a power cube (battery), that give one hours worth of use.

Power Cube
A power source developed by the Ancients that contains energy to power devices of the ancients. Can be stacked together to build bigger power cubes. Can be recharged at power stations.

Weather Machine
Damage Special, Range 10000, Sp Huge
The Weather Machine must be mounted on a vehicle. As the name suggests it changes the weather. Weather is graded as Fine, Overcast, Rainy, Stormy, Hurricane. It takes the machine 30 minutes to move the weather from one grade to the next one up (or down). Any damage is the result of the weather itself, not the machine and must be adjudicated by the Gamekeeper, as this will largely depend on other conditions - is there a nearby river that bursts its banks, are the characters caught in a storm in their advanced (but fragile) airship, etc. Requires plugging into a power station to operate.

Power station
Sp Huge
A non-mobile power station. That can be used to power devices or recharge them. Built into a ruin, it derives power from geothermal, or other sources. Allowing them to be tapped for use.

Giant Automaton
S 8, Q 2, H 30, D 12, Mv 30, Ca 2 tons, Cr2, Psg 0, Sp Huge
A lumbering giant humanoid machine controlled by two pilots sit inside the head.
Requires 64 power cubes (8x8 cube) to power it for 10 hours.

Heat Pistol
Damage 4 (ignores all armour), Range 15, 2 power cubes give 6 shots.

Blaster Rifle
Damage 5, Range 200, 4 power cubes give 10 shots

ElectroSword
Damage 4, 2 power cubes allows it to operate for 1 hour.

Web Pistol
This gun fires webbing that entangles the victim. The web is a Major Hazard which must be overcome with a successful Strong roll, in order to break free. The web dissolves over the course of one hour. SIngle shot weapon. Requires special cartridges.

Lightning Cannon
Damage 20, Range 700, Sp Huge
The Lightning Cannon simply hurls bolts of electricity. It is large and must be mounted on a vehicle, and it affects all target in a radius of 10 metres. Metal armour (including vehicle armour) gives no protection against it. Requires 16 power cubes (4x4) has 10 shots. Unless plugged into a power station. Then unlimited shots.

Ave Deserto

    The Ave Deserto is a strange barren waste. A hot and mostly sandy desert. It is called Ave Deserto, the "Falling Desert" because of the tendency of things to portal through and fall from the sky. Almost exclusively non organic objects fall from the sky on a semi regular basis. Usually one to three times a week an object of significant mass falls out of the sky. Typically the size of a motorcycle of larger. Although smaller objects (Coins, pins, metal shavings, and etc) fall up to six times a day. So this sprawling desert is littered with detris from another time and place. You might wander and find a freighter, a car, or a sharpening wheel for an example.
    A cargo cult of a tribe lives in and around the desert. Salvaging anything that seems of value to them. They are known as the Populus Supple.

(Yes this was blatantly stolen from the Land of the Lost movie. But only cause one loves.)



(Oh and PS, Suck it Matt Lauer)

Cyclops

    Perdidt Mundo being a nexus of time space. Things, places, and people occasionally appear. Or even more rarely disappear. These things are enter through hidden entrances, or just random portals to Perdidt Mundo. A place in the real/normal world that is particularly active is the bermuda triangle. Active is a relative term. As hundreds to thousands of vessels, and such travel through the area with no event. Others may encounter freak, strange storms, or weird events. Or even more rarely be transported to Perdidt Mundo.

    An example of this is the disappearance of the USS Cyclops a proteus class collier. Disappearing from the known world on March 4th 1918. Reappearing on the Great Lycian Lake. Ground on a sandbar near shore. Its serves as the home of the remaining sailors. Having adapted to this strange new world.
    Now referred to the Cyclopsians. They number roughly 150 men, women, and children. They roughly maintain the hierarchy of the ship with the captain being the leader. Adopting some of the customs and ways of the land. Some have even taken wives from the local native tribe who lives on the shore of the lake, They are dressed in a combination of their remaining clothes, and skins and cloth sewn to resemble their old uniforms. Mostly armed with knives, hooks, and axes. They save the small amount of remaining ammunition for their limited smallarms for extreme situations. Including the ship's four, 100mm guns.
    While allied with the local native tribe. They are at odds with the nearby lizardman tribe, Gens Autem Anguilla. Or as the crew refers to them "Scaleys".

Typical Cyclops crew member
Combat 3, Everything Else 3, Defence 8, Move20, X 25
Typically armed with a knife (Dmg 1) or a gaff hook (Dmg 1)

Captain Sylvanus Antony
S 3, C 2, Q 2, H 6, D 6, Mv 20, Sk Bruiser 3, Command (Clever) 2, Navigation (Clever) 1, Shiphandling (Clever) 2, Intimidate (Strong) 1, Shooting (Clever) 1, SP Body of Bronze, X45

    The former first mate, taking over after the death of the original Captain. Captain Antony is a hard man, but fair. Trying to make the best of their situation. Keeping the crew together and organized.

Why no Lizardman stats?

    Why are there no lizardman stats? Well that's because every tribe is a bit different. Some are fast like a little skink, but physically weak. (S1 Q4)

Some are massive and strong, but slow and lethargic. (S4 Q1)

Some are somewhere in between or completely different.

One might attack you with a simple wooden club, made from a downed branch. (DMG 2)

 Another might use a shark tooth club. (DMG 3)

Yet another may use a sickle forged of bronze. (DMG 2)

Skills is another area that is variable. Some tribes are known as great trackers. Other amazing climbers. Some of the tribes have domesticated dinos and ride them. Its really dependant on the tribe.

Amazon Stats

    I forgot to post Onedice Stats for the Amazons. So in order to maintain completeness in my mind here they are.

S3 C2 Q3 H9 D9 MV20
SK Throw (Quick) 2, Bruiser (Strong) 2, Climb (Quick) 1, Sneaky (Quick) 1, Survival (Clever) 1, Ride (Quick) 1, Acrobatics (Quick) 1

Damage Sword 3, Spear3, Bow 3, Mace/club 2, Hatchet 2, Knife 1 XP35

Neanderthal

    Neanderthal are a stone age tribe of short legged, barrel chested humanoids. They live up in the hills and mountains in a small tribes. Typically only aggressive when threatened. They live a hunter, gatherer lifestyle.

    The tribe worships a god that lives in a cave. Their "god" is a remnant of the ancients. A supercomputer buried deep in an ancient ruin. Through the use of a projector it displays images to the neanderthals. Sending them on quests for it. Its goal is to expand its reach and take control of the world.

Lizardmen

    The Lizardmen of Perdidt Mundo are a varied lot. All lizardmen of the various tribes are of very different descent. Culturally they differ as well. Some being barely above stone age in regards to technology. While others forge bronze. Most are aggressive to outsiders, even between different tribes.

    They tend to be found around the general vicinity of the marshes and jungle swamps of the major river deltas. They can be found living in grass huts to squatting in old ruins of the ancients.

Amazons

    One of the many groups that may be encountered in Perdidt Mundo are the Amazons. Clans of fierce warrior women. They are not man haters. They are secure in their belief that they are superior to everyone. A matriarchal society. Men tend to be domestics and laborers.

    Typically they are scantily clad in cloth and skins. As the temperature in the jungle they reside in can be very warm. Plus they travel light not wanting to be encumbered or have their movement restricted. Lastly they feel no shame in their bared bodies. As they are secure in the knowledge that they are superior to all others. Warriors are dangerous in all aspects of combat. But tend to specialize in blades, spears or archery.

    The clans live in scattered villages. One Clan to a village as a general rule. Villages range in construction from yurts covered with skins, to permanent dwellings built upon the ruins of the ancients.

    Clans are led by a matriarch. Who presides over a council of elders. All of whom are female. Each Clan has a totem spirit and is generally identified by such. For example the Sabre Cat Clan, or the Raptor Clan. In the past the clans were aggressively expansionist. They have settled into a fairly permanent range. But woe be to the one who rouses them to anger, or defiles a sacred place. It is not unknown for Clans to band together to destroy an enemy.

Some of the Flora and Fauna of Perdidit Mundo

    I've decided to do the Perdidt Mundo setting using Onedice (pulp specifically) as the system. As to why? Why not? Its fun and fast, at least I think so. Your milage may vary. But in the spirit of that I stated up some things. So without further a-due, my little bestiary so to speak.

Garrote Vine

Perdidit mundo

    I've finally come up with a name for this setting I think I can stick with, Perdidit mundo. Which is roughly Lost World in Latin. Roughly as in that's what I got google translate to puke up. So maybe not exactly right, but close enough for this Latin illiterate guy.
    I've also be doing a lot of thinking about this setting. My initial idea was that it was to be literally a hollow earth. But now I envision something a bit different. As in a different dimension. A place only accessed in a few hard to find locations, or by a total random chance accident.
     To this dimension time moves differently. Slower yet, at time faster. Year here may only be day a day in the world we know. Or it may take ten years. People, places, and things from across time can be found here. Its a trap, an oasis, a refuge, and more. It's here you will find primordial jungle, scorching deserts, vast oceans, and cyclopean mountain ranges. Dinosaurs, giant megafauna, active vegetation, brute neanderthals, vigorous amazon's, cunning pirates, savage tribesmen, and the ruins of a lost civilization that may have first populated this dimension. A civilization that may have come from the world we know. Or perhaps just touched it.
