Join us for a quick introduction to the Gamma World universe, also known as the post-apocalyptic wasteland of good ol' Earth. After the 'Big Mistake' at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, the fabric of our world was scrambled. When reality stabilized an instant later, the familiar Earth of the 21st century was replaced by one formed from many different realities. The ruins of the Ancients (that's you and me) litter a landscape of radioactive deserts, mutated jungles and vast unexplored wilderness. Strange new creatures and hideous crazed mutants roam the world. After years of exposure to radiation, mutagens, and the warped fabric of a thousand realities, humans have transformed into a race of mutants who have major physical alterations and potent mental abilities.
This event will feature the following:
- Quick introduction to the world of Gamma Terra
- Covering the rules (very quickly; we will mostly learn by playing and if you've played D&D4e you already know most of it)
- Building a quick character: building a character for Gamma World takes less than 20 minutes and is a fun blend of randomizing and player customization and personalization
- Playing a short adventure set in the wild, overgrown jungle that is Research Triangle Park on Gamma Terra. What are the chances there will be vicious mutants and coveted high-tech equipment caches within the ruins of our local biotech companies? You'll just have to come and find out!
This event will be held on March 29th, at 6PM.
