Artifacts

The group I'm running TME for plays Dungeon Crawl Classics on odd weeks.  I started reading Mutant Crawl Classic (same ruleset with a decidedly post apocalyptic setting) just to see how it compared to TME, and I noticed it has something I miss from Gamma World that isn't in Mutant Epoch: Artifact tables.  In those other games, when PC's find ancient devices, they don't usually know what they are or what they were used for.  There's a system in place to represent the gradual figuring out (or not) what the ancient device is supposed to do.  That's not present in TME as far as I can see.

I'm NOT saying that's a bad thing... just something I miss from Gamma World days.

BTW, I'm right here with money in my eager paws waiting for those Expansion Rules!!!!

EDIT: By the way, I decided to come up with some ideas on how to do this in TME, and posted them here:

Please let me know what you think!
