| | | Those are REALLY funny!
I really like Pyramid magazine too.. I used to have a few copies of paper issues before they went all electronic. I wish I still had them. Notice how SJ Games doesn't mind poking fun at itself.

| | Ha! That Murphy's stuff is grouse. Very funny. I always liked how S J Games is happy to poke fun at itself.
@Ekental
Any change you'll post a more detailed discussion on the problems with the Gamma World rules? I'm interested in your thoughts! 
Cheers,
TGHO

| | | 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..."

| | No worries mate, thanks for posting them. I'll just point out that none of those issues exist in the current edition. 
I do like the NATO one. Very funny.
Cheers

I'll read up on it straight away, thanks. | Then you may be interested to know that an unofficial attempt was made to include Fallout in Alternity (TSR's sci-fi system which was cut off). That was also for Gamma World (which came as an Alternity setting). Hmm.. I think that may actually have been in one of the fan magazines, but I think you'd best ask around the forums there if you can't find it otherwise.
The fan site keeping the system alive is here: AlternityRPG.Net - the official Alternity RPG website!

Thanks! | Yeah they changed the layout (I'm not much of a fan of the new layout, as well). I generally only look there when I look for something to download. For other things it usually better to head to the forums.
