From the introduction: This generator is designed to help jump-start your brain when you become weary of the garden-variety un-dead out there already staggering through the world, but can’t dig up anything from the mist-covered loam of your creative centers. Running through the charts will give you a set of stats and some ‘bare bones’. Then you’ll need to look at everything you’ve rolled and ‘electrify’ this thing into life (so to speak) — but you may well start to have strong ideas along the way, and that is exactly the point of the Extractor: to help you find fun ideas when your skull-candy falters.
