This time around, Gamma World /is/ a D&D product...
...I also have to wonder what constitutes a convention? Do you have to have a booked-up hotel and a bad attitude, or does a one-day event with a couple dozen games count?

Tony, that is a very good question, and might be worth asking WotC about, if you're interested. If you choose to do so, please definitely let us know what you discover!
Here are the PHB essentia, in my opinion: - Three Basic Rules (p 11)
- Power Types and Usage (p 54)
- Skills (p178-179)
- Feats (p 192)
- Rest and Recovery (p 263)
- All of Chapter 9 [Combat] (p 264-295)
A player needs to read the sections for building his or her character -- race, class, powers, feats, equipment, etc. But those are PC-specific. The above list is for everyone, regardless of the race or class or build or concept they are playing.

Just FYI, it's also possible to schedule the convention to download the packet and then cancel the event.
Not that I would know anything about that...

I was at PAX and got to play the thing and can give a quick run-down of what I remember of it as a substitue for the real deal if people want?

It would sure be terrible if someone with the proper credentials would do such a thing, then put said materials up for grabs somewhere on the internet. I really hope nobody does that.

Speaking of the Pax Extraterrestria adventure:
I just now viewed an AT&T commericial depicting...
*spoiler*
... little red flowers blossoming all at once from green vines that were wrapped around the Seattle Space Needle.
Gamma World... rethink possible.

Nice! And the tagline makes the perfect vegepygmy or swamp thing (plant yeti?) adventure intro:
"AT&T covers 97% of all Americans."

I wish they would make this available on D&D Insider. It sounds like a great adventure.
Me want.
