GMs and PCs alike are provided with an extensive overview of Elysium and the four Houses. PCs also know contacts capable of a wide variety of effects from assassinating NPCs to providing loans to snitching and more. Because this mechanic can introduce conflict between players it is optional. One PC can also be a double agent and try to subtly stop an investigation from stopping an incident that PC’s House caused. PCs vote in a patrol leader after each incident is resolved. Elysium PCs may also have biomechatronics, mechanical implants in the human body. Age determines the number of starting attribute points, skill points, number of contacts, and reputation. PCs choose from six professions and pick one profession talent. Finally, the PCs may sometimes have to put the entire enclave of Elysium ahead of their Houses and find their beliefs and loyalty truly tested.Įach PC will be from a different House if possible. A PC judicator who has to investigate an incident caused by his own House will be torn between duty as a judicator and loyalty to his or her House. Each player also controls his House during strategic turns of intrigue used to increase power and influence by creating incidents. Player characters are judicators, individuals drawn from each of four Houses, who enforce the law and investigate incidents. It uses the Year Zero die six dice pool system. It shares rules and a world with Mutant: Year Zero, Mutant: Genlab Alpha, and Mutant: Mechatron but is also a complete game on its own. A complementary copy was provided for this review. Mutant: Elysium is a 264 page hardcover rulebook also available in PDF from Free League.
