Yes Harrowed can get mutations do to the fact that ghost rock bombs kick out supernatural radiation. There's an alright map in the HOE worldbook (has a Stone esque figure on the front dual gunning it up with walkin' dead) but I just use a rand mcnally road atlas and draw a north south line through California. Cyborgs in the game are Harrowed fitted with a spirit fetter, a device that traps thier manitou and forces it to provide power for the various devices, armor, and implants in the cyborg. They are detailed in the HOE book Cyborgs. Hope this helps.

| For a good map, I'd check out http://hoe.1d6.com/. The creator has a fabulous set of large scale maps, although he never finished all of the states. In the far distant future, I plan to pick up where he left off. |

WARNING!!! SPOILERS IN POST!!!
To be specific, it is Ghost Rock mixed with rotgut, smells like a dead skunk, and tastes even worse. It is made by junkers using a special process. Thus it is technically a device. So why doesn't it have to check for reliability? Well, whenever the tech spirit involved starts to loss its grip, the Reckoners step in and give said spirit a helping hand.
Huh?
Well, you see, spook juice produces supernatural pollution when it is burned, settling into the Hunting Grounds, and warping them to produce Toxic Spirits. This fits the schemes of the Reckoners just fine, so they make sure no-one thinks to doubt this fuel source by making it completely reliable.
On a different topic, it is possible to get buzzed on spook juice. Feel like putting your soul on the line for a good night, brainer?

| The effects for drinking spook juice are covered in the HOE book Wasted West (and Toxic Shamans, if I remember it well. But it only covers specific effects for them). Spook Juice is also used for fuel, and there is also a dark and sinister secret about spook juice in the Iron Oasis book. |

Technically, the sinister, dark secret only applies to Spook Juice made in that area.

I recall that drinking Spook (hey, pennies a glass) does some screwing things to Sykers. I don't remember what exactly, but something like increased blastin' or strain. My books are just packed up at my new house, so I can't check right now.

I believe that any strain using caster can use spook juice to either recover strain or as bonus strain, I believe.

I thought it was only Sykers (something about it screwing with your brain).

Checked Wasted West. Any arcane type gets a +2 to casting rolls while on spook juice.

A bit cliched for my tastes, but whatever works for you, man. Just have fun. |
