In the near future, the CERN Large Hadron Collider experiments in high energy collisions result in an event referred to in myths and fables as the Big Mistake. Every possible alternate reality crashed into our version of Earth, resulting in a bizarre apocalypse as multiple timelines and environments became enmeshed with ours. (In 85 percent of the alternate Earths, the Cold War resulted in nuclear war)
Suffice it to say, Gamma World is a very strange place to live. Animalistic mutant tribes battle against psionic yetis and humanoid badgers with anti-gravity guns. One of the most feared creatures in the wild is a manticore like creature called the Yexil, which has a particular taste for clothing.
It's weird, it's awesome, and it's one of the oldest RPGs, originally produced by TSR alongside D&D in the 80's. Wizards of the Coast recently released a box set to serve as a starter for a 4th edition D&D take on the classic game.
And I want to run it! I've heard some interest after talking about it in the store, and would like to use this thread to gauge interest.
