I want to run a Caves of Qud campaign. I've been told Gamma World is basically that (or rather the other way around). Is it any good? What's the best edition? How is the game's own setting?
GW was perhaps the best game setting.
I rolled a mutated psychic dog that out DM mutated my character with a human arm growing out the back so I could shoot guns too. Lol.
There was one edition that was terrible with a rainbow chart for success and failure. It sucked.
I think it was 2nd e. If I remember right, the edition the pic in the post was 3rd.
1st edition took a lot of post apoc and melded it with Teslas broadcast power model.
Our group eventually took over an airbase, rebuilt a grav car and restored broadcast powrer to the area, then we graduated high school and the game stuck there with an army of enemies at the edge of the compound.
That was 30 years ago, hope it helps.

You are one old fuck, anon. What are you doing here?

1st edition was really really crunchy and was written just like original D&D with save vs death all over the place.
was extremely fun though. Blister Blaster armed, giant 1 eyed mutant chickens still send shivers down my spine. Famine in Far-Go was one of the best modules TSR ever released
2nd edition they tried to get away from how similar to D&D the game was. it failed
3rd edition was probley the best mechanically of any of the Gamma World editions. And they let you play intellegent plants!
There was a D20 version of Gamma World that came out. not bad.
the latest version is nice for quick 1 shots and a light fun game.

You think he is the only one youngling? tg/ has the oldest anon population of any board on 4chan. I'm 47. Been gaming since the early 80s.
Most recent game setting in the spirit of Gamma World would be Mutant Epoch imo.
