Issue 92 if I'm not mistaken? Regards, Corporate Dog

Oooh! Oooh! Man, I TOTALLY dig Gamma World. I'm currently working on writing up a campaign setting based on my old home town in Maine. The cool thing about it is that Windham is around thirty miles inland from Portland. Take the various Gamma World maps of the United States, and with just a...

On the contrary, it's spot on. Let me draw you a real-world parallel to the situation... You walk into the neighborhood Quickie Mart and pull a gun on the hapless store clerk, because he has a package of Twinkies that you want, and which you can't afford. Which is the more likely scenario...

Your guess is as good as mine. Morrus? Are you reading this? Regards, Corporate Dog

My Rant (longish)... Alright... here's my comprehensive rant about all things involving the contest. I'll preface this by saying that I DID enter, and my entry was NOT in the first heat. First, when it comes to the issue of formatting and whether or not something met the criteria for the...

It was a joke. I commented that it was a pretty good field of competitors and that there were no encounters that were particularly worse than mine. Somebody else commented that I must either be really polite or just have written a real stinker, and I responded with my weak Mauve Slime Paladin in...

Re: Re: Comments on the First Batch of Entries Speaking as someone who voted for it, I liked it for it's twist on a standard D&D trope (heroes kill monsters because that's what heroes do) and for the moral dilemna at its chewy, nougatty center. Regards, Corporate Dog

That's seriously pathetic. Your writing skill can't speak for itself, Mystery Mini-Encounter Writer? If I may make some more suggestions (nags) about how to put out a contest like this one in the future, I might suggest... A.) Ferreting out the entries which clearly didn't meet the...

Front page, poll on the right hand side (under the 'hosted sites' listing) Regards, Corporate Dog

Up until I saw what I was running against, I thought a mauve slime NPC sitting in the middle of a field WAS original. See it's LIKE a green slime. But it's MAUVE. And it has a level of Paladin. Actually, I just haven't read all of the entries yet. :) Regards, Corporate Dog

I don't particularly want to interject any unpleasantness into a contest that was created in the spirit of fun, so I'll back off after this last point... I intend to vote for the entries which are the most creative, which contain the best writing, and which I would happily drop into my own...

Of course, while I was writing my encounter, I e-mailed Morrus to inquire about the "extra text on the map page" issue. He responded that it would be okay. My last post was an inquiry about the order of the pages more than anything else. So I might suggest sticking to a little less stringent...

Morrus, Not to bug you with guideline minutae, but for the following rule: ... is this just meant to illustrate what each page should CONTAIN, or is it also meant to illustrate the order that pages NEED to be in. For instance, if I have the encounter on page one, a description of the location...

So I take it that we, the voting public, are supposed to decide who did and didn't follow the guidelines? That could get messy. :) Regards, Corporate Dog

Yeah, size was DEFINITELY a concern. As it was, I had to edit out a lot of flavor text and unnecessary "neat stuff", and even then I ended up asking Morrus if I could bleed some of my encounter text onto my fourth map page (for the record, he said it would be okay). I notice lots of people...

He's a forum poster who constantly reposts messages I've already read over at rpg.net. She's a manipulative Buddhist mercenary from beyond the grave. They fight crime!

I'm also guessing that (as in my case) procrastination had a little something to do with it. Ever since the contest was announced, I had INTENDED to launch myself into writing an encounter, but it didn't really happen until the final week before the deadline. And just as a plea to all of you...

Gahd I love that setup. Can't wait to sink my teeth into this. Regards, Corporate Dog

Re: My Take Why is this the prevailing attitude of the people who like their Gamma World all dark and gritty? I think Fifth Edition proved quite nicely that if you take out some of the wackier pieces (plant & animal PCs) it's not so easy to just "add the wacky stuff" back in. On the...

Things I WANT to see... 1.) Wild and Wahoo tone - As has previously been stated, if I want dark/straight/serious post-apocalyptic roleplay, I can play something other than Gamma World. The reason that GW is so original, is because it's a wacky, sometimes whimsical game set against a...
