Gamma World

Two years later, in 1978, that game evolved into Gamma World.

Players could choose to play a Pure-Strain (ie., unmutated) Human, a Humanoid (mutant), or a Mutated Animal. Gameplay was nearly identical to D&D, though with mutations instead of spells and scavenged technology instead of magic items.

Gamma World has been released in several editions:

• Metamorphosis Alpha in 1976
• 1st Edition in 1978
• 2nd Edition in 1981
• 3rd Edition in 1986
• 4th Edition in 1992
• 5th Edition in 2000

With it being discontinued sometime around 1994, we have finally gotten yet another edition released six years later with GAMMAWORLD Campaign Setting using Alternity's game system!

Product Descriptions:

Gamma World (1st Ed.) Got It!
Author(s):	James M. Ward, Gary Jaquet
Date:	1978
Contents:	Rulebook (56pp.) Map Dice
The original boxed set. The front cover of the rulebook was a black-and-white version of the box art, while the back cover was a hex pattern. The two-color map showed North America as it might appear in the far future. Oddly, though city locations were marked on the map, the city names were not. I hear that this was an editing mistake, corrected in an issue of Dragon magazine.
