[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 9744279, member: 4937"] I have thought about doing GW based on 3e or D20 Modern/Future, but the problem with Gamma World is that I think I just can't accept the conception anymore. The universe of Gamma World isn't a post nuclear war setting. It's needs to be a post trans-dimensional rift war setting, something like Half-Life but more gonzo. It's really hard for me to get past the magic now the way it wasn't when I was twelve or thirteen. I don't like the unrestrained magic. As much as I enjoyed it as a kid, it would be sillier now than doing a Thundercats RPG. There is just too much kitchen sink going on. But I will say that if you can get past the setting vibes, 5e is entirely wrong for Gamma World. You need more granularity than 5e provides, something that handles scale better, something where there is a meaningful difference between two ranks of radiation resistance and five, something where an automatic rifle or an angry sequoia cactus feels really scary.
