Gamma World Roleplaying Game

After cyberpunk 2077 last but not least arrives outside on December 10, it’s destined to become on the list of largest video games of this season. Perhaps not simply regarding earnings –that is just about inescapable. But in terms of dialog: notably, since that will be going on in December with significantly less rivalry, be expecting that the discourse to really go challenging and perhaps not let for weeks. But too, which is an equally important thing, regarding absolute extent. A couple of weeks before, that a QA tester imputed into your still-unfinished one hundred seventy-five-hour match, even though that is always about the top quality, practically nothing which people have discovered indicates this will soon be anything under the usual huge adventure. And matters to get critiques.

That said, a big grand PC RPG set in gamma world would be amazing. I don't believe there has ever been such, right?

Yes, that would be nice. I pulled out my 1e rules and toyed with the idea of running a short campaign with The Boy (he LOOOVES Fallout). But, his Fandom is Random, and now he's back to Doctor Who (the 8th, to be precise).

I have mixed feelings about this and will probably pass unless the reviews are stellar. 1st edition Gamma World was my entry point into tabletop role-playing. I was at a small comic book convention when I spotted Gamma World and there was something so compelling about that box cover. The sky tuned to static, the ravaged cityscape, the vivid radiation, and the orange-helmeted explorers with what looked like laser rifles, a flamethrower, and a tricorder. It was a grim and unforgiving setting, so our adventures tended to be one-shots with a high mortality rate.

But this upcoming computer game appears to be based on the Gamma World edition that was compatible with D&D 4.0, and that was an intentionally silly and chaotic setting that didn't interest me. The mutations seemed more powerful, like super-powers, and there was a barely a pretense of a backstory. A friend got it and ran a campaign for a while and had fun with it. I was favorably impressed with the quantity and quality of the contents of that boxed set, but didn't play in his campaign.

I can't decide if this was written by a robot or a sweatshop worker.

While I would expect AI writing to be more coherent than this, that sentence intrigues me.

8th as in Paul McGann? So, would that be Big Finish audio? Which, by the way, there are TONS on spotify.

I had a big Gamma World adventure scenario set to the south and west of Chicago. Probably got 100+ hours out of it. My buddies set their stuff in locations on the same map.

Oddly enough when I cleaned out a bunch of my D&D stuff I found it and my original Gamma World box with . . . the rulebook for Top Secret inside it. Not sure how that happened.

Back when I was young and vibrant we played Gamma World and Top Secret and Traveler as well. But we always ended up coming back to D&D because it was a much richer system and had a lot more source material to pull from. The other three were nice diversions, but D&D was the thing that pulled us together, at least from a Role Playing perspective.

Top Secret S. I. was a big fav of my childhood group. I could never get them much into Star Frontiers or GW, it was DnD or TSSI.

It got to the point where a pit stop for gas on the road turned into 20 minutes detailing just what weapons and hardware where being brought into the quik-stop so naturally there had to be a totally random 3 hour gun battle each time.... teenage boys.... amiright??

We did some Call of Cthulhu for a while but the insanity system was our constant undoing.
