Oh whoops... been lazy and haven't gotten out the book

Let me give it a try

"The map scale of a hex in TSR's Gamma World is given as 'roughly 43.7 kilometers'... this unusual value converts neatly to the useful amount of about 27.3 miles..."

"Zap! Your Dead...
The 'Blaash', a carnivorous radioactive moth found in TSR's Gamma World, has only to swoop within 5 meters of someone to kill him instantly..."

"In TSR's Gamma World, an Energy Grenade does half damage if you use a shield or wear armor, but does full damage if you wear both..."

I like these best though... not from Gamma World

"Sizzling Simulations
NATO includes the following: 'To simulate the use of strategic nuclear weapons simply soak the map with lighter fluid and apply a flame"

"First you take off the lens cap...
Tri-Tac's FTL:2448 revelas that a ship's sensors have a 1 per cent change of failing to detect a giant gas planet 300 feet away. The chance rises to 11 percent if you don't know what you're looking for..."

"It takes concentration...
In Guadalcanal Campaign (Strategic Simulations), an airplane looking for submarines will ignore enemy carrier fleets it may encounter..."
