Can someone make a list of the basic characteristics of the different Muties?
I know there are Stickies with suction cup fingers, Swampies with dual circulatory systems.
What was unique about hte muties at the Alaskan Redoubt?

It's been established for nearly 15 years that almost all of the humanoid mutants (at least those whose genus ends in "ie") were the product of genetic engineering.

There were" Stinkies" who smelled bad.
"Snotties" with runny noses.
"Scabbies" with lots of scabs.
"Pukies" who puked a lot.
"Farties" who...well, you get the picture.

So aside from smelling bad tell me more about the Stinkies And so on for the Snotties, Scabbies, Pukies, and Farties... For example the Swampies had dual circulatory systems. This made them really tough. Stickies could climb anything and pull flesh off an opponant. |

By who? Oh, various and sundry. Mainly elements of the Totality Concept, such as Overproject Excalibur, Mission Invictus, so forth and so on. The full story didn't come out until the Outlanders series began, although there were hints in some DL books. The "real" story of the swampies was revealed in the OL novel, Shadow Scourge. |

Can I ask -without being appearing to be sarcastic, just how
many of the DL books you have read?
I can recall LJ describing each and every one of the muties
that appeared in the first 33 DL books or so -with a "basic" list of their
characteristics each time. As for the ones in the Alaskan redoubt, if you know about them
you MUST have read the book and MUST therefore have read there description? =============================== Billy Fish: He wants to know if we are gods.

LOL !! I forgot it has a different meaning over your side of the pond So for all you folk out there who are not English Fanny = Vagina not Arse.  And you go all the way to Nigeria and bump into someone from Ormskirk... Thats about 15 miles up the road from me ! =============================== Billy Fish: He wants to know if we are gods.

I didn't know that list existed. and I listened to 5 in audio book format So it is not exactly easy to go find the description again. I obviously have never seen that list or I wouldn't have asked. |

I wasn't getting nasty. I only noted that it it is polite to say please when asking for something from others -at least it was the way I was brought up by my parents? But you now have your question answered. That link is to a page from the old Deathlands website that was run by another long time poster here called "Outlanders". He gave up updating the site when the books dropped off in quality. Check it out it may answer a lot of questions you may have about the early DL books. =============================== Billy Fish: He wants to know if we are gods.

Another Question Is why create these Muties? What is trying to be accomplished? They seem to just make life more dangerous. Does someone control them?
That question does not seem to be answered on that page. As well as the info on the totality concept seems to be just stubs with no info in them. is there a place where I can see a overview of the Totality Concept?

I'm not being harsh here or trying to pick but your asking questions that are answered in books you have not even read yet! Why do you want all the answers before you read the books? We (those that choose to answer your questions) asked those same questions many years ago but had to wait for each up and coming book in the hope that some of our questions may get answered. Why not hunt down the books and enjoy the secrets as you read them and they unfold? =============================== Billy Fish: He wants to know if we are gods.

Many of the mutants were actually the product
of genetic engineering carried out by secret subsections of the Totality Concept. Most being humanoids adapted to survive in a post
holocaust
environment.
Some are more dangerous than there creators ever hoped.
Some were tests for Bio Weapons hence them being highly agressive and hard to control.
The Stickies for example are believed to have been introduced to Deathlands by Magus (Pilgrimage to Hell).
Lord Kaa raises and controls a large Mutie army in book #36 Skydark.
Many of the unanswered questions are resolved in the follow on series Outlanders.

Random piece of trivia: back in the late 90's, before I secured the domain name and teamed up with Chris and Alex, this website was called Overproject Whisper. "Sadly then I knew the answer. All her life she was a dancer, but no one ever played the song she knew." - The Residents

Because I am gathering info to run a gurps game for some friends who enjoy the series. And while i am in the process of listening to the books on Audiobook. having the info spread over 94 books and however many are in the Outlands books will not be all that conducive to running.
I am trying to get a feel for what the Totality concept is up to and what are they doing? Are they a force for good? evil? Did they cause the war?
So yes I do intend on reading them all. But I do not want to wait years to run the game.
Totality Concept Overview
Overproject Whisper
Project Cerberus / Operation Chronos
Overproject Excaliber
Genesis Project / Project Invictus / Scenario Joshua
Overproject Majestic
Mission Snowbird (The Archon Directive) / Project Sigma
This stuff is a start but I am curious about what are all the peaces about?
Do they ever answer what the fog with claws was? Is the Totality Concept still running?
