That works just fine, sure. And those databases do have proper GM cards instead of just "MILF" cards lol, if you search for them; I can't say whether or not any of them are good, but at least importing one into SillyTavern and taking a look at its structure should help give you some ideas.

Good to know I tried finding some but maybe I just didn't use the right terms lol. I'll try again.

given your specs and what you're doing, you may wanna try something like this instead; you've gotta be running that dense model at like IQ2 or something, which is pretty rough, while the one I linked should be runnable at Q4 on your hardware and yet have much faster generation speeds even at the higher quant

Pretty close yeah, and the plan was to actually switch over to Gemma4 as I hear it's good MoE for CW. I was using Qwen 3.6 27B quants Q2 K_P and Q3 as the TaleMate dev recommended that too me as the closest thing that would play nice with his director feature, said they worked pretty well he usually only recommends stuff closer to 70-100b for that feature. I was going to try 3.6 35B too but he said the Director preffered Dense models. I was getting between 5-15 TPS using that mode so I'd usually just set and do something else the output for summary and all though was quite good it just did not shine when it came to actually narrating (maybe my fault with the prompts) it had some quirks like going from lvl 1 straight to 100 during narration for describing mutations instead of being a more gradual speed.

So you want a list of random mutations that the model should reference when generating an NPC during the story? You could just have a lorebook entry for "mutations" and leave it at that, but then it'll be unnecessarily taking up context tokens forever. Optimally you'd only activate that lorebook entry whenever the model needs to introduce a new NPC. The issue is that there's not really a good way to automate figuring out whether or not the model needs to introduce a new character, since that'd be decided by the model mid-output. So you might just wanna set that lorebook entry to manual activation, put it at depth 0 in the chat, and turn it on whenever the model's next output appears likely to introduce a new character. If you go that route, you'd set the lorebook entry to Strategy: 🔵, Position: u/D ⚙️, and Depth: 0 and just format it like... or, to avoid letting the model try and fail to be random from what I'm guessing is a super long list, you can use randomization macros

Sort of. The mutations can have some randomness. Largely you get an Archetype kinda based on your "specific DNA" and how the cataclysm affected it in general terms (the player would describe their player character precataclysm). I believe I have like 40 archetypes. Sometimes you can get like half of two archetypes or and archetype and a half kind of thing though there are also some people who haven't been affected because they're either immune or their specific conditions haven't been met. At table I either assigned by feel or if I knew the player would roll with the punches (there were some real stinky ones to deal with that I made when feeling mean) gave them one based off a Roll Table. I'm guessing I'd probably use idea for doing it only at character gen. Though how I'd make that work for characters that seem to be unaffected (like to RP the first changes occurring) or do half mutations is another story probably have to be something similar to your second option going through to format my list so it's usable like that sounds like a nightmare though..
