Nuclear wasteland and Weird Wackyness

[Ranorak]

I bet you thought this was going to be a Fallout New Vegas topic, right?
Wrong.

I just picked up the Gamma World 7th edition. And I was wondering who else here places this hilarious pen and paper game?

For those of you who don't know the game, it's a 4th edition based DnD game, set in a alternate universe.

In this universe, the Large Hadron Collider causes a event known only as The Big Mistake.
In a single moment all possible alternate dimensions are rolled into this world and entangle.

The game takes place 150 years after the Big Mistake in 2012.

The "races" of this RPG are not your average elf, human dwarf. But you roll a d20 twice to get a primary and secondary origin.
1)android
2)cockroach
3)dobbelganger
4)electrokinetic
5)Empath
6)Felinoid
7)Giant
8)Gravity Controller
9)Hawkoid
10)hypercognitive
11)Mind breaker
12)Mind Coercer
13)Plant
14)Pyrokinetic
15)Radioactive
16)Rat Swarm
17)Seismic
18)Speedster
19)Telekinetic
20)Yeti
(if you roll the same number twice, you second origin is a engineered Human)

So you randomly get 2 options, and you have to try to make a character out of it.
I.e. A Plant and pyrokinetic could result in a fire breathing sentiant plant.
Hawkoid and Rat swarm: could be a swarm of small bats.

While I've yet to make a character myself, I was wondering who plays this, and what character did you end up with?

Shouldn't this be in forum games?

This isn't a forum game, it's a table top pen and paper RPG, I'm asking who else plays it, and if so, what character they came up with.

right-o, my bad. I missed part of what you wrote. I don't have this game, so I guess I have nothing more to add.

My favorite part is where you fight the NCR.

Yes Man was the Claptrap of this game and I loved him.

I've never heard of it before now, but it sounds interesting. For giggles, allow me to retrieve my dice box.


18 / 19

So a speedster telekinetic. That's boring, lemme reroll...

1 / 4 Android Electrokinetic? ...Too fitting.

14 / 8 Pyrokinetic gravity controller?

Man, all of these kind of suck. Sadface.

Thanks for the name though, I'm gonna see if my GM knows anything about it.

Imagine the awesomeness of a Rat Swarm and cockroach combo

A swarm of small cockroaches in the shape of a man.
