GFA18 - Alternate Mutants for MCC

My third 2018 Gongfarmer's Almanac article is an alternate list of cosmetic mutation for mutant characters (or whenever else you need one, like if your starting equipment includes an animal). I've previously discussed my concern with MCC's mutations, and this was an attempt to create a list that accomplished what I said I wanted. While I didn't want the list to be too long, I also didn't want anyone reading it to immediately say "but what about ... ?" as their first thought after reading it. I also tried to organize it so that the mutations get weirder the higher numbers you roll. Keith Garret edited this article, and Karim drew the art that accompanies the whole series in the GFA.
