Mondo Mutant Mayhem! Looking for one more Omega World player!

[The Other Librarian]

Anyone interested in a zany Omega World game? It would be a casual type of game, not plot heavy, and I think Omega World's "looseness" would fit online play. I would do all the random rolling for mutations and stats. I'm thinking 4 players at a time, but alts would be welcome, as OW is bloody and death frequent, so new characters could be rotated in fairly frequently.

Omega World, for the uninitiated is a d20 minigame which appeared in Dungeon #92 ( or 94 if you go by the bar code!). I would prefer players who have access to the rules, if only to make character creation easier.

A bit more detail:

The characters would be part of a group engaged on an overarching "epic" quest that may or may not ever come to fruition, as an excuse for wandering the wastelands . OW is much more focused on Exploration, Combat and relic acquisition than detailed character bio's. Characters start at 4th level. Player will choose pure strain human or mutant stock.

just a bump.

Just found my copy.

Incidentally, the spine of this issue says #92, but above the barcode it says #94.

So it took me a little bit to dig it out.

I'd love to play a mutant. Are you going to roll everything, or do we get to choose off of table 1-1?

Well, I'll be damned, so it does. Thanks for the heads up.


I'll roll for mutant stock. I like the game's reliance on randomness. Plus, the game has a built in mechanism for dealing with sucky characters (ie the "kamikaze option".

I will ask what point value of mutation/defects you want to go with. Stop at 11 or more, or before that?

Welcome aboard!

OK Threshel, rolling for mutant stock, we get 69, everyones favorite, making you a Clicky! (ecl +2, starting level 2)

You can pick the aesthetics as to what type of bug.

Stock mutation is Heightened Int.

Your first mutation is Cryogenesis, worth 6 points. It's a psychic attack, so remember you can get Psychic Attack as a class skill.

Stats as follows:
Str: 6, Dex: 17, Con: 13, Int: 11, Wis: 16, Cha:12.
These are the raw rolls, no racial or mutation modifiers. Using the organic method you get to reroll one, then swap any two scores.

 

[threshel]

I'm a clicky!
yay....

Let's go all the way to 11, please, for those neato mutations and defects.
Reroll that 6, of course, and I'll pick the swap after that, k?

I'm mulling over the aesthetics.

[The Other Librarian]

As you will!

The Str: 6 becomes Str: 16.

Your next mutation is Heightened Constitution, bringing your totall to 12.

On to the defects.

Smaller- you are 1 size cat. smaller, 7 pts.
Frenzy, for 6 points.

Your random special gear is Trade Goods. I'll leave it up to you to determine the details.

So that should be all you need from me.

 

[threshel]

Excellent. Thanks a bunch, and I'll post the complete character once done.

If you will have me I would like to join. I own that issue of Polyhedron.

I would like to play a mutant. Go ahead and keep rolling mutations until you get to 11.
