[My Collection] Gamma World

I have a copy of Gamma World (1st edition) in my TV room bookcase. I picked it up on eBay a few years ago and haven't managed to stick it in my collection with my other copies of Gamma World and Metamorphosis Alpha. I like the look of the box set on the shelf, surrounded by my and my gfs other books.

I love Gamma World. It's a fun, wahoo game and I played it like mad in the early 80s. I had a mutant rat with radiation eyes named Ben and a mutant bear with electrical powers. There are a bunch of reviews on the variety of editions, from 1st to Alternity and even the Sword & Sorcery Studios version (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), but you can find more if you're interested.

Mutant Future is a recent old school homage to the game. And WotC is going to publish a D&D4e compatible Gamma World box set version in October 2010. I'm set to run another session of Savage Worlds Gamma World in the next week. I'll let you know how it works out.

  2. Bill? I'm not familiar with anything called Bill in Gamma World.

    Is Bill in 2nd edition?
