Wow, amazing! Looks like it could have come from WotC. I had a lot of fun playing this game and look forward to finishing our current campaign in the setting. I've wondered if it was worth owning my own box set but I made the decision to buy it and create my own content. I probably still will but I'm glad to see community support for this setting!

Thanks! Looking forward to using these resources!

Awesome, do you think its even possible to beat?

Probably not, but you shouldn't underestimate players with a plan.

Good point.

I ran A1 of "Scales and Scalpels" with some brand new players (never played an RPG before) on Friday. We started at 10:30 p.m. By the end of character generation, my friend's wife was vocal about how bored she was.

I went with option A) for getting them into the university, the MK300 Robot attack. They actually tried to tackle it on their own, and I let them, although I went a lot easier on them than I could have. Within a few "plays" they figured out that it was futile.

The biggest challenge I had with running this campaign was trying to piece the different sections together. I on-the-fly added a piece of paper to the pocket of the researcher in the first encounter that they could barely translate to the main points (looking for technology, computers, etc.).

Overall, great use of the existing assets. My wife and my friend's wife felt under-powered so I'll be using the Weapons Shoppe pdf to design them some ranged/reach attacks based on their powers.

Addendum: Everone had a great time and we didn't stop until 2:00 a.m. I think I've decided that I prefer Gamma World over the Red Box for introducing players to 4th ed. and RPGs in general.
