Title: [Gamma World] Look what I found.
Post by: J Arcane on May 11, 2008, 12:13:08 AM
I finally got my Gamma World 4th book back today, and so of course started poking about on the internet looking for stuff for it.

First, I found this site, http://www.gammaworld.us/ (http://www.gammaworld.us/), which among other things, has a character generator for DOS for Gamma World 4th.

Of course, I'm on OS X now, so I went seeking DOSbox and a frontend for it, and I find Boxer (http://boxer.washboardabs.net/), a rather nifty Mac OS X version, which allows such spiffy tricks like making DOS application folders for easy execution.

So I make myself a package for the Gamma World creator I found, and go looking for icons.  And while digging through Google image search for icon fodder, I find this page: http://gameworld.thesnakefarm.com/gamma/

Some nice GM somewhere has taken the liberty of converting Gamma World to the d6 system, and posted it online.  

I thought that was pretty damn cool.

I know this guy who is going to run GW 4th at an upcomming con. He is a HUGE D6 fan. I'll have to send this along! Thanks!

If you have never read them, check out " Mutant World" and " Son of Mutant World" by  Richard Corben. Amazing art and cool stories by one of the all time comic greats. I was heavily influenced by these comics when I use to run my own Gamma World campaign.

You can get a very complete Star Frontiers/Gamma World conversion here too:
