Modiphius Return Us to the Classic RPG Mutant Chronicles!
March 22, 2013 by dracs
I come bearing good news for all fans of sci-fi carnage and chaos as Modiphius, the guys behind the great Achtung! Cthulhu have announced that they will be rebooting the classic RPG Mutant Chronicles!
"The Mutant Chronicles 3rd Edition RPG is a full rewrite of the best elements of the popular 2nd Edition rules that the fans know and love, and utilizes d20’s combined with a fresh approach to the core systems. Modiphius wants to let players experience the incredible breadth of adventure possible within the universe from investigations of the Dark Symmetry, cults, and corporate conspiracy to the Corporate Wars and desperate battles with the Dark Legion. For the first time taking the game into space, players will have the freedom to roam the solar system aboard a range of spaceships, create their own companies, engage in corporate conspiracy as well as the typical smash and grab missions." - Modiphius Announcement
The first in this new series of releases, Mutant Chronicles: Dark Symmetry, will hopefully be appearing in the Autumn of this year and will take players back to the beginning of Mutant Chronicles, allowing you to play out the iconic moments of the game's timeline.
We are really excited to see Modiphius behind this. With the spectacular work they have done with Acthung! Cthulhu they are sure to do this classic game justice. There is a kickstarter planned for sometime this Autumn, so be sure to keep an eye for more news on Mutant Chronicles.
Mutant Chronicles certainly seems to be making something of a come back lately, with the kickstarter for the miniatures game Mutant Chronicles Warzone by Prodos Games still running, having gained over twice their initial funding target.
Thanks to this kickstarter we could soon be experiencing the world of Mutant Chronicles both as our own RPG characters and in command of a force of miniatures! This will be great as we can then explore the stories through both mediums of the game.
Hands up whose excited! Will you get playing Modiphius' Mutant Chronicles? Will you support the kickstarter for Mutant Chronicles Warzone?
Rock’n Roll!
I can not begin to emphasise how awesome this is. Mutant Chronicles was the first RPG I ever owned and it’s particular brand of over the top action, huge guns and even bigger shoulder pads made it the go-to game after a few too many sessions of Camarilla politics in V:TM. With origins that link it with the equally awesome (if messed up) Kult, there was always room for horror and investigation and I think the guys at Modiphius have made a smart move by trying to focus a little more on that in their upcoming products.. particularly when it’s… Read more »
I can’t help wondering if that dude falling is trying to hit his own spent cartridge cases, or he has fallen of the cliff with Wily Coyote and is trying to hit Roadrunner with his Acme Inc Bolt Pistol.
Heh, pretty much, the old art always more about style over substance..or even plausibility. In that way, it is totally in keeping with the game 😀
I am definitely looking forward to this, and I’ll almost certainly pick it up when it comes out to try with my regular RPG group.
Is strange, i love this game and i use to love very much heavy metal but now i love so much more industrial music and since this has a lot of cyberpunk is like there is a complete disruption between the two things. Sorry for the personal reaction, still being very epic and i already have a friend interested in it!
Here you go then, the latest from Bauhaus Kultur Ministerium; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIVgRGsRvdQ
Nice, thanks! And here you have Cybertronic Battle Anthem

“Soot, skin, your brain
Succumb to your destiny
And pain!
Soot, skin, your face
And body cramps suddenly
No grace.
Kill, kill, kill, electrocy!
Electrocutes your disagree
Heat, blood, liquid eyes
The current drags you to
Paradise.
Heat, blood, your wounds
A lightning in your head
Your yell resounds.
Corpse, hell, lost fight
Uncontrolled reality
Took your life”.
The guy above me has decent music taste. /\
The new Terminal State reminds me of Cybertronic too, for some reason.
Totally agree, hearing Symmetry of the Shadow makes my mind flow!
Oh me oh my, the artworks are just amazing! (sorry but Im an illustratot myself, so that’s what’s catch my eye first:P). Anybody knows the name of the artist? It looks a little like Kopinski.

thank you very much;]
Thank you Lucas, i’d always wondered where Paul had dissapeared to. His work on the orks in the early 90’s was fantastic, as well as squats and imperial guard. I’ll keep a close lookout for his book once published…
Paul Bonner. He created most of the art for Mutant Chronicles, Warzone and the Doomtrooper CCG
Its time to rock! This gets me hyped up for some Mutant Chronicles RPG.
Some really awesome looking miniatures
So looking forward both of these, and have made a big pledge at the Warzone KS. Great miniatures!
