Welcome to Planet
Motherfucker
Planet Motherfucker is an alternate-reality Earth where the
worst fears of the Cold War came to pass in 1965the Year
of the Thunderkiss. Some fat-fingered bureaucrat pressed
the shiny red button and set off Armageddon. However,
instead of resulting in a grim, gritty wasteland where
humanity struggles to survive, the atomic fallout instead
warped the fabric of reality itself. Planet Motherfucker has
been twisted into a psychoholic grindhouse world where
giant ratmen drag race hot rods against murder-minded
robots, where lunatic wolfmans square off against
brickhouse Amazons, and where living dead girls, doom
nuns, and Murican witches command the awesome powers
of the bump-n-grind occult.
Planet Motherfucker is ultra-violent, maxi-trashy, supralowbrow, and uber-depraved. The characters are larger than
life, garishly-hued in technicolor and greasepaint, and the
only thing they value is getting lit in the company of a hot
piece of ass. Grade Z horror movie monsters prowl the
wastelands and clown gangs rampage through the streets of
what used to be called civilization. Fuel up your chainsaw,
strap on a shooting iron, and rev your engineit's gonna get
messy out there.

Rituals
Do you have a game that includes rituals that feature human
sacrifice and violation? Do you find that oogie? I'm here to
help. When you come across something you aren't down
with in the ritual's description, roll on this table and replace
the offending article with the result.
D Instead of Violation & Murder, the Ritual
% Requires...
01- You must gather ten teeth from gladiators who died in
02 an arena fight; these teeth must be ground into a paste
along with certain herbs and natural pigments. This
paste must be used to draw the unholy symbols
required by the ritual.
03- You must melt the sacred wax of Mehl-Yung in a
04 copper bowl inscribed with profane sigils. When the
wax is liquid it must be smeared across your body in
the proscribed motions; once the wax has hardened,
you must engage in the Dance of Darkened View until
every piece of wax has fallen away from your body.
05- You must acquire the relics from four saints. These
06 relics must be broken while you intone various
profanities and blasphemies. You must then take the
broken remnants of the relics and bake them into
wafers which you will consume at the ritual's
conclusion.
07- To prepare for the ritual beforehand you must find an
08 ancient skull that has been in the earth for no less than
a hundred years. The skull must be studded with
precious jewels and silver. The skull must be
presented and held aloft at the culmination of the
ritual.

21
63- In the ten days leading up to the ritual you may only
64 eat foods prepared from the recipes found in the Book
of Edible Mysteries. If you become sick from this
diet you must not perform the ritual; instead, begin the
diet again when you are healthy.
65- You must become catastrophically drunk on alcohol
66 consumed from clay pottery made by the People of
Zhemin-Kafar. In the morning after, while you suffer
from the after effects of you imbibing, perform the
incantation and the ritual's requirements; interspersed
throughout the ritual you must beg forgiveness of the
spirits that govern drunkenness.
67- You must offer up blood split from your wrists into a
68 chalice of silver or gold; half of this blood must be
poured out onto the ritual diagrams that accomplish
the magical working, the other half you must drink in
between reciting the words of the rite.
69- During the course of the ritual you must summon the
70 spirits of your ancestors according to the instructions
provided in the Scroll of Elder Scorn. You must listen
to your ancestors list both your failings and your
accomplishments before proceeding with the ritual.
71- In the three days leading up to the ritual you must fast,
72 drinking neither water nor eating of any food. During
the ritual itself you must rend your clothes and loudly
proclaim your existential insignificance. When you
are in a state of abjection you may finish the ritual's
incantation.
73- Purchase a splendid white horse. Anoint the horse
74 with the cinnamon-scented Oil of Derlak Dugarh. At
the conclusion of this ritual you must free this horse to
flee in whatever directions It wishes.
75- As the ritual proceeds you must handle venomous
76 snakes and present them to the Guardians of the
Cardinal Directions. If you are bitten by the snakes,
cease the ritual instantly or face a dire doom.
22
77 You must etch the runes the ritual requires into a tree
- of the sacred type known as Queen of the Darkling
78 Wald. These runes will bleed as if cut into the flesh of
man. Drink deeply of this blood-sap and continue
with the ritual's incantations and gestures.
79 Craft a large effigy of an owl from wicker. Debase
- yourself shamelessly before the owl; even when the
80 owl begins to move, so not cease your debasements.
Only when the owl's mouth opens may you safely
stop; now feed the owl on carrion until it is sated.
Once the owl refuses further food you may proceed
with the rest of the ritual.
81 You must eat of the hallucinogenic Worms of Nethren- Vhaal until the world wheels and spins around you.
82 Address your visionsbe they monsters or angels
as Master. Do as they bid you. When the world
returns to its normal function, complete the ritual.
83 Mortify your flesh with a whip of thorns. Display
- your wounds proudly to the demons and entities
84 brought forth by the ritual's workings. Let them
admire your dedication and handle your abused flesh.
Once you have met their approval you may proceed
with the ritual's other requirements.
85 As you burn the incense of Zalamphel a demonic
- servitor will appear and demand that you sacrifice one
86 of your senses for a year. When you have named the
sense to be stripped away, the demon will vanish and
you may complete the ritual.
87 Within the month before the attempt the ritual you
- must reconcile two foes and end their enmity.
88 However, during the ritual itself you will bind their
names upon a parchment with a curse of eternal
hatred. Once this has been accomplished the ritual
may proceed.
