I just found out about this series today. I'm going to look
into them,
although they maybe a little more high-tech than what I have in mind.
The mutant rats in my universe wear clothing they stole from the
little-tykes section of abandoned Wal-Marts (on average they are about
four feet high). Weapons are usually pulled off of dead humans while
more primative weapons are fasioned out of various junk (i.e. A
battle-axe for a Rat would be a broomstick with a sharpened hub cap
lashed to one end.)
Roaches are going to be less sophisticated. They're just six
foot long
insects that charge their prey and attempt melee combat. A few other
versions can spit acidic goo or other such gimicks, but they are rare.
They will never get an "Oops" roll. (In my game, if a human or non-bug
creature rolls a "1" something bad and/or silly happens.)
Later,
