Transdimensional Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

**Transdimensional Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles** was a Supplementary Sourcebook for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle & Other Strangeness.

## About

The books main focus was Time Travelling and dimensional travel, with stories set in the past and future and alternative histories. After the core sourcebook Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle & Other Strangeness, Transdimensional Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was the most extensive Sourcebook, adding a large amount of gameplaying options.

The books main focus is the Time Lords and their effect on history, with the players going back and fourth between time periods ranging from pre-history, ancient history, the future, and the present. Due to the books focus on history, it ties in with After the Bomb and can be used as a plot device to introduce players to the later sourcebooks, bridging the gap between the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle & Other Strangeness timeline and *After the Bomb*. Traveling to the Bomb scenario and back to the TMNT era is possible and can be a GM plot device.

The book contained new skills related to time, such as Horse Back riding, use of primitive tools and historic knowledge.

It was also offered alongside the original Sourcebook in the 2023 Kickstarter campaign.

## Character Backgrounds

With still more left to explore of the TMNT world, time travel is mde possible with the sourcebook. This is a lead of new and different mutations depending on era the mutant was born in. There are 3 possiblities of which the mutant originated from; Contemporay (default as in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle & Other Strangeness), Time-Traveling, Cross-Dimensional.

For the contemporary mutation, the Mutant is the same as past Sourcebooks at times, but of the newer mutants are hitchhikers dragged through time as an animal or egg. This could be mutant Cenozoic Hitchhiker, a Jurassic one, Cretaceous one, a Cenozoic one, the far future. Some are ordinary animals, others are clones of a prehistoric species or a experimental test animal who wa adopted, indoctrinated, caged or Escaped from their location. They could be a wild animals who grew up in the wilderness, Self-Taught at many skills or joined a ninja clan.

For Time Traveling animals, their mutations are similar. They can be a trained temporal explorer, mutated in the lab, trained for a time relate tasked and educated. Eventually, escaping from their torture. Some are actually animals rescued from the past. After being randomly mutated in the past by unknown forces, they are brought through time to a different setting to a more appropriate one. They may have been adopted by the Time Lords themselves or were a Mage's familiar and escaped using a spell. They could be a futroid creature, losing everything in the process of time traveling. Or they could be a scientist/observer watching history unfold.

For those who crossed dimensions, the feat is no less impressive. Many come from animal dimensions where their particular species is dominant, where Evolution took a side step and Humans did not evolve to be the dominant species. They may be a mutant from a dimension wherein another humanoid species became dominant. They could be a Lost wanderer who cross into a new world by accident or one who traveled from a world of magic. Some might even be inventors themselves who made a machine that can sidestep into a new dimension.

## List of Mutant

### New Species

All new species focus on extinct species, the main focus is Dinosaurs and Mammalians. Note that for Dinosaurs, the Mutant represents a member of that order, thus "Tyrannosoid" represents any member of the Tyrannosaurus family.

Due to the age of the book, many Dinosaurs are absent simply because they are either unknown or yet to be discovered at the books time of writing, but it is still possible to create new ones based on these existing ones. For example, Spinosaurus (which was relatively absent until the late 1990s due to a lack of media coverage in popular culture) could be made using a combination of the Allosauroid or Tyrannosoid build and elements of the Alligator and Crocodile build. See Home Brewing Mutants for details.
