 | Game Summary | [ Edit Main Info ] |
White Wolf's iteration of the Gamma World game, using the D20 Modern system, with an appendix on D&D 3.5 conversion. This version does not allow mutated plants as a player character option, but expands the options to include "synthetics" (artificial life), and "stock human", a primitive version of the "pure strain human" (PSH). The PSHs are now those humans who have retained their past knowledge and skills from the ancient times.
This version also includes rules for handling communities, using the standard six attributes previously used for individuals.

| 2 / 10 | C.W.Richeson | I found the game to be almost unplayable (and I ran it). Inconsistent and missing rules combined with a poor editing job destroyed the potential of this title. |
| 7 / 10 | Jim DelRosso | Truly underrated. Takes something that was, frankly, too goofy for me to take seriously, and makes me want to play it. |
