Mutants in the Now: a Sanctorum Deep Dive

Respecting the Classics

Animals transformed into anthropomorphic heroes through the power of science and an iridescent goop. Sound familiar?

We love Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles RPG. We even do a monthly show playing that system, but this review isn’t about TMNT And Other Strangeness.

Today, we’re diving into its spiritual successor and child, Mutants in the Now. We love the classic 80s turtle game, but there were some challenges and issues with it. Clearly, we weren’t alone in this belief.

Mutants in the Now filled in some major holes in the original TMNT and Other Strangeness system. It builds off of the original concept but creates something streamlined, clean, and easy to learn. This we can Sanctorum, Ash and Zach examine the mechanics of this fresh mutant-centric RPG.
