Coolness. Page is really slow right now.

Yay! now, if someone would do Dark Matter!

I seem to be behind everyone. Darn.

Wasn't Gamma World sort of already done as a mini-game in Dungeon/Polyhedron?? Omega World.

Yes it was, 2 issues ago - 93?

Of course, that was just a few pages, wasn't designed for a campaign per se (more as a one-shot), and was built (I think) with the D&D rules rather than the d20 Modern rules. Certainly room for expansion there, I'd say.

Gamma World, Gamma World, Gamma World!!!!!!!

Every time I think I am done buying major d2o products, something like this comes up.

This is really great news! Although, I'm not familiar with any of Bruce Baugh's previous work. Is GW in good hands?

Maybe it's radiation sickness...

...but my feelings are mixed.

Mainly because I think that Tweet's Omega World in Polyhedron did such a good job of capturing the "essence" of the original Gamma World (i.e., violent fun not to be taken too seriously), that I'm a little wary of Yet Another Version, particularly by the kind of company (WW, essentially) that would probably take it *too* seriously.

Or is it just me? Has anyone ever run a lasting, serious Gamma World campaign?

Also, does anyone want to take bets on whether this version will suffer the same horrible fate (i.e. destined for the discount bin) as all other versions of Gamma World?
