The Ultimate d20 Gamma World Thread

[Knightfall]

It wasn't anything real inspiring: combat spec = fighter, free agent = rogue, and diplomat = noble (from SW). I had a second diplomat variant for Masque of the Red Death D&D 2nd in which I used his ability to choose a second class (soldier = warrior's THAC0 but no multiple attacks, adept/mystic = cast spells as bard but had full penalties of parent class, tradesman = extra NWPs).

Ahh, I see. The simplest of conversions. That works too.

Somebody has almost the whole thing (except for Jameson's renaming of the classes) at:

Gamma World d20

Okay, thanks for that link; it will make my work on the Alternity classes easier.

you already have threads related to Gamma World on EN World or a web site dedicated to Gamma World using d20 Modern then feel free to post a link here. If you have conversion guidelines for converting other game systems to d20 Gamma World (or vice versa) then feel free to post them (or link them) here as well. (Darwin's World, D&D 3.5, D&D 4e, Modern20, Mutants & Masterminds, True20, etc.)

I had written conversions for Empire of the Petal Throne (luckily when Dr. Barker saw it, he gave me his blessing even though I didn't ask him first), Gamma World, Dark Sun, Oriental Adventures, and Masque of the Red Death shortly after 3.0 came out. I also have a Ravenloft conversion which I never put out on the web. I never finished the GW conversion since the mutations were going to be a lot of work because I had at the time 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and Alternity. I have acquired 1st Edition and Metamorphosis Alpha since then.

Glad to help since I did the work about a decade ago (now I feel old) the work was fairly easy

You can download from my blog - Mutant Manual II (new mutants, naturally) and the Scavenger's Field Guide (equipment, robots) and a few other odds and ends as well for GW 1/2. It's all pretty low-maintenance, so conversion shouldn't be much trouble.

Yep, I already have those.

Nice work Knight. Only problem you may have is converting some of the mutants powers over(if you use them at all). I guess it all depends on which editon you base the powers on.

I haven't really thought to much about converting over mutations and other mechanics. I want to get a solid base for character classes and races first. The one thing I don't like about GW 6th Edition is that it didn't include any mutated plants a character race options.

I definitely want that option.

I just read where the Darwin's World books are going to be made available in print. I'm not a pdf kinda guy so for me this was great news. I heartily recommend DW for d20 P.A. goodness. Even if you don't use the DW Campaign setting there is a ton of cool stuff to use.

I've been seriously trying to get a print copy of the Survivor's Handbook for DW2. I hadn't heard that the rest of the books were going print, however. Did you read this on RPGObjects' website?
