Gonzo Cataclysms
Gonzo Cataclysms posted in Gamma World forum comment posted by derek_holland Some of these are very silly.
- There was a strike by transportation bots/vehicles and suddenly the Ancients had to learn to navigate again. They failed badly, resulting in mass starvation and numerous medical issues (esp those that were in the middle of genetic treatments).
- Hivemind colossi were created by fusing people. Unfortunately the resulting minds were so alien, they couldn't communicate with the rest of humanity. They went crazy and trashed the planet physically and with mental powers. Some still exist...
- Alien "spirits" invaded but had a serious weakness- salt. So much of it was used to exterminate them the biosphere collapsed and now the world is a briny desert.
- The ice caps got up and migrated to the tropics. They still expand and contract, drying out the region or causing flooding in the process.
- Duralloy poisoning caused a massive increase in intelligence. PL 6 and 7 were skipped, though the Ancients didn't really understand all their new wonders. Poor engineering caused the Cataclysm.
- FTL was invented via tangent bubble tech. The first flight turned the moon into mutagenic cheese. Rodents now dominate large regions of the solar system.
