What do you think? A post-apocalyptic heartbreaker?

I'm always up for gonzo post-apocalypse, and while I love Gamma World, I can't abide D&D 4e. I wonder if this will be any good... The poor editing of the promo materials has me leery.

Who? What? Where? When?

Links?

Whoops! Forgot the link.

My copy shipped today. I have a hard time imagining that it will unseat my favorite mutant system, the 1992 version of Gamma World but I will give it a read.

Looks interesting but im not 100% sure how i'd go about getting a copy as the site refused to load half the pages i clicked on so i gave up.

Is this a JOKE?

If it is, I'm missing the punchline. Why do you think it's a joke?

Don't get me wrong, I very much like the artwork of William McAusland, I always did. By being able to illustrate his own RPG from the first to the last page this game will be 100% his vision and style.
For that alone I am interested in having a look at it.

No, I don't think it is a joke. It's a real coloring book.

But I find the content theme ... weird.
The link to the coloring book can be found at the end of the gallery. There are 8 pages full of gory artwork, and at the end you get to a download link for a coloring book aimed at children (full of art that does not contain gore, of course).

My son is 5. He is in that age when children use coloring books. He has no idea of post holocaust monsters and scenery. There are creatures, weapons, and vehicles that he couldn't make head nor tails of.

By the time he could he won't be interested in coloring books anymore. I am just puzzled who is supposed to color these pieces of art. That's all.

Looks like one to me.

You people seriously need to chill.

Perfect for my girlfriend.

But not my 3 year old.

I guess I'll download it.

"The idea of a kids area of the site was at first a joke among the staff, but over time we thought about it and decided to have some fun with this. We figured that many grown ups play RPGs and those members with kids might want to print off some stuff for their kids to do while they are playing a session with friends."

Makes sense to me. My son is 7 and likes to color SOMETIMES...but there's way too much detail in some of those pictures for him...he would get bored and just start slathering crayon all over them.

Got a review copy, so let me know if you all have any specific questions.

yeah, stop mincing around like Sunday school teachers and somebody give us a synopsis of the rules.

Well, so far I can tell you that character creation is wildly random, right down to gender and swimming ability.

Also, it appears to be a percentile system. Although the instructions on dice use includes the methodology behind a d1000, which is somewhat alarming...

Yikes!  Thanks Dan...after checking out this link, and based on what you've said, I'm getting a bit of a RIFTS-vibe from it.  Is that far from the mark?

Does the core system seems needlessly complicated, or is it pretty easy to grasp?  Is there an emphasis on tactical placement in combat? (ie; do you need miniatures and a game board)

Thanks!
