Gamma Wild: “Gamma World” Game Day Report

October 26, 2010 by dixontrimline

I had a really good time, and became convinced that I needed to buy this Gamma World game immediately and inflict it on all my family and friends, assuming I have any family or friends. There is a kind of brash funness about it, an in-your-face good time, sort of like a game of Strip Twister, only with dice and hit points and without the awkward apologies afterwards. The loopy joy is built right into the rules of the game, which I can describe it with one simple word I just made up: randomosity.

Remember when DriveThruRPG put together that great bundle to benefit Haiti, and ended up donating $178,900 for humanitarian aid? Well, they’re doing it again, but this time, they’ve put together another great collection of RPG PDFs for a low price in order to raise money for flood victims in Pakistan.

October 4, 2010 by Dave
