Gregorius21778: Bits of the Irradiated Future in Review

The PDF is bookmarked with the major sections linked. Navigation is fine. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of errors. There are a number of black and white illustrations. Presentation is fine.

This is a collection of different ways of adding depth to a Mutant Future game, though many of them would also work for other systems, with some tweaking. Some of the options would also work for non-apocalyptic settings.
