Review: “Gamma World” RPG While others have been looking forward to the Essentials books, I have been looking forward to getting my hands on the Gamma World RPG since January. What is the Gamma World RPG? In a nutshell, it’s a standalone post-apocalyptic RPG that uses, almost whole cloth, the 4e D&D rules, with the main differences being in the characters. Treasures of the Ancients The boxed set comes with a 160 page rulebook, some character sheets, 2 double-sided maps, a set of monster tokens of various Gamma World critters, two decks of cards (for Alpha Mutations and Omega Tech) and a booster pack of random cards to add to the base deck. The 160 page rulebook contains all the rules for the game, which includes all the basic rules from 4e D&D, everything from basic of roleplaying games, making saving throws, conditions, and so on. You’re a Mutated, Sentient Bug Characters are the biggest divergence from standard D&D. You Grow Enormous Clown Feet The Year is Six Monkey Slap-Slap “Sweet dreams, suckers!”
