GW (the one with a resolution system similar to Marvel Superheroes), so from my perspective it was 5 modules in a year.No.  Each edition was only in print a relatively short time, so you can't really call it one a year.  Generally speaking, each edition was actually a different game from each previous edition - which was probably off putting to people who had played previous editions.  When they were in print though, they were supported by several modules a year.Five modules in a year was more than sufficient in terms of quanity.  Although to be honest the modules were far from perfect in terms of quality, they did have a compelling story arc, good maps, and they did present some idea of how the game should be played and what the Gamma World was like.  I suspect that GW's real problem was that its campy setting didn't tie in well with most peoples notions of what a post-apocalyptic world should be like, compounded by the fact that the fluff writers never could seem to actually decide what GW was about and changed it from edition to edition.  Anthromorphic bunnies and talking plants could be very off putting to people expecting a gritty Mad Max style world.  I suspect that if GW had been more in fluff like Fallout, that it would have been much more successful.</blockquote>
