Message: <blockquote data-quote="DammitVictor" data-source="post: 8380570" data-attributes="member: 6750908">Biggest for me is always-- I hope, bright gods I hope-- always going to be Gamma World 6e. I'm not interesting in rehashing any of the old arguments about it, but it contained absolutely none of what I was looking for in Gamma World (especially after Alternity Gamma World disappointed me)  and absolutely nothing that I could salvage and transplant into a better d20-based post-apocalyptic game. Maybe not as morally and aesthetically offensive as Book of Exalted Deeds and Book of Vile Darkness, but still takes the "most disappointing" spot by virtue of replacing what was once one my most beloved RPGs of all time.The only positive things I can say about it are that it's made of high-quality paper and doesn't contain toxic mold, so I can't honestly call it the worst post-apocalyptic survival game ever made.On a less vitriolic note, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangness and/or After the Bomb, for which I cannot fault Erick Wujcik; my failure to grasp the Palladium house system well enough to successfully run a campaign with it is solely my own, and I have hopefully found a willing instructor to correct this deficit. I really, really, really want to love this game but I just can't get far enough into to it to do so.Finally, I feel like this is the wrong place on the internet to be saying it, but I'm not the first in this thread: D&D 5e. I had basically fallen out of love with 3.5 before the release of 4e and the rise of Pathfinder, and never cottoned to 4e much at all, but I followed the D&D Next playtests with some enthusiasm and it looked like a promising new beginning. Seeing that they'd just reinstated the multiclassing mechanics from 3.0 whole cloth pissed me off something fierce, but I ran a game for almost eighteen months before giving up on it in disgust.I have never had a publisher or a fandom make it more clear that their products are not for me, and I'm content to restock my library of all of the TSR-era products I've missed or missed out on-- for old time's sake-- and otherwise consider it mutual.</blockquote>
