The second sourcebook is called Mechatron, and has the players take the role of newly sapient Robots experiencing freedom and independent thought from the Collective that is controlled by the Overarching A.I. The goal of the book is for the players to build a Resistance Force against their oppressors and escape Paradise. But they've all been trapped in an enclosure called Paradise Valley, which is controlled by The Watchers that act as the Animals' ruthless jailers. Unlike the human Mutants, the Animals aren't barren and have been steadily growing their population since the end of the world. The first sourcebook is called Genlab Alpha, with the players taking on the roles of Mutated Animals. "Eden" is their only hope if they wish to survive and continue their culture and legacy in the "Zone". The People are only made up of around two hundred Mutants all together with a slowly diminishing population, that shrinks at the end of every session depending on the result of a six-sided dice. The People cannot have children, and it's only a matter of time before they die out. The core rulebook has players take on the roles of Mutants, the People, attempting to find "Eden" and find a cure for their barrenness. Mutant: Year Zero has several additional Sourcebooks and nine Supplements which act as their own separate adventures, whilst the three sourcebooks adventures occur tangentially to the Core Rulebook. This RPG is the originator of the Year Zero Engine, that's also used in Coriolis The Third Horizon, Forbidden Lands, Vaesen Nordic Horror Roleplaying, Alien: The Roleplaying Game and the recently updated edition for Twilight: 2000.
This includes building off of a more traditional Mad Max-inspired world and setting as opposed to a Warhammer 40,000 clone or Victorian-esque sci-fi setting. Unlike Mutant UA and Mutant Chronicles which took the ideas of the series in vastly different directions Mutant: Year Zero attempts to remain as close and as faithful as it possibly can to the original premise of the series that was established back in 1984.
All of whom are attempting to rebuild their sanctuary, 'The Ark', and survive in the hostile 'Zone' outside The Ark's protection and within The Dawnworld's clutches. It's a post-apocalyptic RPG set a few decades after the end of the world, where you and others get to play as a race of super-powered mutants.
Mutant: År Noll, otherwise called Mutant: Year Zero in English speaking regions, is the current iteration of the Mutant tabletop RPG series that's been popular in Sweden since the 80's, published by Free League Publishing and Modiphius Entertainment.
