Omega World? Puh-leeeze

With all due respect...

Hey, that's how people start if they disagree. I don't. I dislike the fact that some game companies are taking stuff that's basic to the setting and putting it in a separate book. Mutations should not have been skimped upon in the core book.

I'm a huge fan of the Poly games, and I when I say OW is stripped down to the essence of GW [at least, what some consider the essence], I mean it in a good way.

OW and GW are apples and oranges. OW was intended as a one-shot product, and lends itself nicely to one-shot games. GW is supposed to support a whole line of products, and was designed accordingly.

The irony here is that, based on what I gathered from the designers who posted in the Big Ugly (tm) thread about GW I started over at RPG.net, there *were no plans* to expand the mutations rules in any way until they saw that a lot of people were griping about it. Now they're apparently "thinking about it."

Assuming the line survives that long.

Then I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Here's hoping that the nbew Gamma World is very much like Omega World d20. I re-read OW recently. Wow. If the new GW borrows concepts from it, then it will be a very worthwhile game.

And here I thought that the 3.x version of Gamma World was called Darwin's World.
