Cool Stuff for Gamma World!

Now that Gamma World has been released to the premiere stores, I can share some cool add-ons that one of our local RPGA/LFR DMs (mvincent) created for PAX. You can thank mvincent on his page. We used these at PAX when we ran the global premiere event for a lot of really happy players.

 

Junk Tables

This is my favorite of the bunch. The two files contain full color images of every bit of junk in the game! You can use these as a random deck and have players pick cards instead of rolling on the table. The cards are really useful for stimulating RP and for helping PCs come up with creative uses. At PAX we had a lot of fun with the random junk. As a DM I was very liberal with allowing their use, because that in turn was a lot of fun for everyone!

I ran the Dark Sun Arena, judging continuously from 11Am to 11PM two days in a row with just one break (to play Ravenloft) and one slot where I judged Gamma World. It was as fun as it was exhausting. My thanks to the players at my tables and the great camaraderie from fellow judges. The D&D area was very well-run.

So,

My DDXP highlights:

Meeting People
It was a blast to meet so many of the people I have traded posts and e-mails with over the past months. It felt like a big family was gathering to play. Getting to know people in real life that I had met online was one of the highlights. The LFR community is a really good one.


Dark Sun
I'm a huge DS geek, having run a very long campaign in college, owning just about every product, and having been the Dark Sun list moderator during college. It would be easy for me to not like any changes, but I played the DS preview and enjoyed it tremendously. They have done a really great job of converting DS over to 4E and capturing all of the flavor. The adventure was really cool and fit the setting in all ways. (I think it can be played at PAX Boston, PAX Prime, Origins,
