Gamma World: The Prize Inside
I ran a Gamma World 4E adventure this last weekend. It was using a custom campaign with a couple of minor tweaks to the system, the players started with two Bennies and could earn an extra one if they opted in and took a Bad Mutation when they suffered their morning alpha flux. A Benny …

It’s Not The Mechanics Perhaps
Yesterday I heard two very interesting comments made in podcasts. One of them is from the the Necessary Evil podcast from the Wharton Hall Gamers.

Interlude – Undead Army
Even the burning rains couldn’t conceal the odor of death as Stak moved up the last rise before reaching the cleared ground around the city. If anything the rains added another layer of stench, one of sulfur and brimstone. As he crested the hillock the scene he pulled up, momentarily shocked at the grisly scene …
