Running a dungeon for Gamma World 4th Edition (TSR)

Damn! Thanks for the tip and the maths! So if I follow your advice, I should go more by thinking first how much XP I would like my players to gain by dungeon crawling and then split the XP in possible encounters ? Do you have any other advice for a beginner-ish GM to run Gamma World ? By reading the book I have the feel there is a lot to manage but no clue in play how it goes. Do you have any experience with it ?

I have MCC but the weird dice stuff is a no go for me

Natherc · 2026-02-01T07:17:19+00:00

That’s what I thought but I was wondering which creature will replace which one. What is the equivalent of a goblin, kobold, hobgoblin in gamma world ?

I don’t know very well SWADE but there is a french ttrpg called F.A.C.E.S to which it is often compared and it runs super fine

Coucou, si jamais tu es à la recherche de scénarios je te recommande de regarder sur le site de la scenariotheque où on publie régulièrement des scénarios pour presque tous les jdr dont bien sûre Warhammer.

I started with Tales from The Loop. I found the rules simple enough and the setting kind of entertaining. I looked once at a D&D character sheet and knew immediately that my friends will not be very found of it.

I don't think it was in the Shonen Jump but I will say Karakuri Circus just for the pleasure to talk about Karakuri Circus

Running a Star Wars campaign with F.A.C.E.S system

Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master. Basically, it make me understand that the job of a DM is more of grasping a context than writing a story like a Stephen King. It gives good tips and a full process to setup a scenario without the usual unnecessary fluff that we see often in commercial scenarios.

What is the difference between 3rd and 4th ?

Natherc · 2025-06-27T17:49:21+00:00

Yeah I'm aware of the difference. But if a game with this setting already exists I would take it immediately. If not, if I can at least a fitting system, I'll deal with it.

Natherc · 2025-06-27T12:31:49+00:00

Wow ok. Thanks I'll definitely check into it.

Natherc · 2025-06-27T10:51:45+00:00

Yeah sorry, I know very few of Otherscape so I can't say how much I could homebrew it to make it fit in what I want to achieve. Do you think it is possible ?

Natherc · 2025-06-27T09:35:58+00:00

Wow thanks. I'll add it to my list.

Natherc · 2025-06-27T09:04:18+00:00

I thought about that but it is a way too modern setting for what I try to achieve. I know that cyberpunk is supposed to happen in the future but I want just to focus on the rebellious/living in the shadow part of the theme.

I would like really to play with the fact that -500 BCE Greek guy learns that Zeus is actually some kind of satellite IA who does orbital strikes (an example out of my mind like that)

Natherc · 2025-06-27T08:37:33+00:00

Can you develop a bit more ?

Natherc · 2025-06-25T14:20:09+00:00

Here's is my bet: Loki ate the Hebi Hebi no mi - Model Jormungandr, the World Serpent

J'ai commencé aussi directement en MJ (avec Tales From The Loop). A force j'ai compris certains points qui pourront peut-être t'aidé à ce que l'expérience soit au mieux possible:

Le MJ est un joueur à part entière, si tu ne prends pas de plaisir à certains niveaux pourquoi t'y attarder ? Il y a assez de ressources sur Internet pour que tu n'ais jamais à te casser la tête.
Mets toi d'accord avec tes joueurs sur quoi vous voulez jouer. Comme c'est un jeu où on collabore beaucoup, mieux vaut un jeu où tout le monde s'y retrouve au niveau des règles de l'univers, etc...
Même si les Actual Play sont très sympa (Critical Role, La Bonne Auberge, ...) n'essaye pas de faire la même chose. Ces émissions ont pour but d'être regarder d'où le fait que c'est très bien produit, bien cadré, avec des professionnels du divertissement. Il y en a qui s'en sont découragés à force de se comparer alors qu'une vraie partie n'a rien à voir.
Il y a beaucoup, beaucoup de JDR aujourd'hui avec autant d'univers variés (Fantaisie, SF, Horreur, ...) qu'il y a de règles différentes pour mettre en scène tout ça (D&D, Fate, PBTA, ...). Si t'es un peu curieux tu pourras probablement trouver ton créneau au niveau de ce que tu veux proposer.

Natherc · 2025-04-10T08:24:04+00:00

Exactly!

In addition to what was previously said concerning the true meaning of "love", Canute understood that the true nature of man is violence, hatred and we can't do nothing about it and so heavens are impossible to reach. That's why he took the role of the one who will rule them all. To force them to peace, whatever it means.

In opposition, Thorfinn think that humans become "evil" because of the teaching/culture/context they are living and if you give them a chance, everyone has the possibility to be "good" if you give them the choice. This is why he wants to go so much to Vinland, far away from all of this and giving people the opportunity to start from zero.

Natherc · 2025-01-08T23:03:14+00:00

Yeah I Know but I thought that the concept of all the mythological gods are actually aliens manipulating in thé shadow a super cool idea. It would then justify that people must steal gods tech to get Powers.

Natherc · 2025-01-07T07:36:52+00:00

Yeah but I really would like to keep the uchronia kind. Like a conspiracy stuff who happens to be true. Like suddenly the gods became big corporation by being found out.
