It's been over a year since my gaming group stepped into a post-apocalyptic landscape.
Late last year the newest iteration of Gamma World was released. This is the 7th edition of the game since it's initial release in 1978. The RPG has been around almost as long as D&D.
Last night we sat down for a session of the new game, and it was a blast. It's post-apoc, but with a tongue firmly planted in the cheek. Everyone played as a randomly-created strange mutation, be it a vampiric plant, or a reanimated doppelganger. Oh, and a pony that road shotgun in the pickup truck.
They battled sentient, walking potatoes with a grudge against humanity, zombie rednecks who wanted beer more than brains, and biker pigs on motorcycles. They met the mayor of the town who was a ficus tree from Walmart, who couldn't speak, but rustled his leaves at them. You get the picture.
It was a good time.

OH YEAH it definitely was a blast, only reminding me of the same excitement we had at PAX just making the cut to play GW.
Furthermore, killing myself with a 5d8 was pretty righteous, dude.
I'll admit, it sounds pretty neat
