Gonzo Cataclysms
Gonzo Cataclysms posted in Gamma World forum comment posted by derek_holland - All the active Ancient power conduits crystallized the air around them, encasing many artifacts, people and locations. Varks are experts in breaking in with damaging the items too much.
- A braodcast power disaster blew up every receiver. The only reason there are any artifacts now is nanotech has been rebuilding everything, though with thermal power it is going very slowly.
- Muscle powered vehicles were a wonder that drew more energy from the atmosphere. So many were used that an Ice Age resulted. Apparently the Ancients weren't paying attention until too late.
- Human/termite hybrids were created to tend to new tree forests around the globe. They wanted so much more territory the insectoids went to war with the Ancients with some really nasty biotech.
- A food additive was found perfectly safe for kids. Adults found it terribly addictive and eventually fatal.
- An engineered plague altered everyone's diet to lunar grown foodstuffs. The survivors were the ones who changed themselves back or put themselves in stasis. Every once in a while supplies of the food are found, most are treated as demonic- the symbol on the side is that of the Cataclysm in most people.
- The globe was inverted. Where there was land is now water and where there was water there is now land, at least on the macro scale. (Wish I could find a map of that.)
- The atmosphere was expanded to beyond the Moon's orbit. Now it churns the sky and everywhere there is a constant windstorm. Survivors are either incredibly tough or live underground. Escape from the planet is via the transmat network.
