Gammaworld?

Any GMs out there up for running a Gammaworld game? I’d be up for whatever system. There are so many or could be a 5e hack as well.

There's an OGL product out there called "Delta World" that looks to be somewhat like 5e Gamma World, except also with elves and dwarves and tieflings and things. I've been thinking about buying it.

Yeah that sounds pretty much right on.

I was running an Alternity version, but it died from lack of interest.

Of all the versions of GW over the years, the Alternity version might have been the worst. Though I do recall the one that had no index or table of contents and a randomly scrambled rule book.

I think I only played 1st edition, but I always loved the cover art for this version:

Me too!

It was 4th edition that had the crazy unstructured layout.

Just here briefly to plug three post-apocalyptic games based on The Black Hack: The Rad Hack (the most Gamma World of these three), Wasted (a bit more infusion from Mad Max), and Barbarians of the Ruined Earth (full-on Thundarr the Barbarian). Good stuff!

That cover is fantastic and I would've bought the book just for it.

I thought this was the first edition?

That cover wasn't 1st edition. 3rd I believe. I owned that edition, but never played it (other than making 100 characters). But I wanted to post the cover because it is AWESOME.

The one that Tim posted was third edition. The one that witchdoctor posted was first edition (and my personal favorite). I've played every edition (including Amazing Engine), but you always remember your first.

Apparently there is also a pretty thorough, fan-made Savage Worlds conversion (Savage Gamma World - natch).

Of course, none of this gets us any closer to playing. I would volunteer, but I already flaked on one game as GM. I need to get my s$%t in order before I try running something again.

I played a D&D 5e fan version of Gamma World here on GP years ago, and it was gonzo fun.

Yeah, 3rd. I think I had it at one point as well as the second edition box:
