SO when d20 Gamma World came out...Yeah, I bought it.And yeah, in my opinion, it wasn't Gamma World at all. I found myself asking myself several times if the person who wrote it had even read any of the old Gamma World stuff.I was looking forward to cool robots, the return of the all might Death Machine, andriods, maybe even updating the Legion of Gold module I have sitting on the shelf and running it for d20. Instead I bought it, read it once, and gave it to my nephew, and deleted the PDF. It wasn't Gamma World. When it became available as a free download, I didn't even bother, but stuck with Darwin's World 2 ruleset and the setting described in the old blue-books.I stand by what I said, my opinion of it.If it's any consolation, I'd say it to your face too. It's nothing personal, nothing to do with you, but I didn't like it. Actually, I hated it. Mainly because, I'd paid for Gamma World, and that's not what I got. It said Gamma World, but it sure didn't feel like it. Didn't read like it. And didn't even really remind me of it. I felt cheated, like I'd bought a chevette with a Lamborgini sticker on it.</blockquote>
