Good evening.
I've been lurking (and appreciating) this forum for quite some time now.
Knowing that many user here share a fondness for Gamma World and having just randomly found a homebrew conversion for the rules of 5th edition, I've decided to seize the opportunity to write my first post here.

I just started reading the conversion, which seem to focus on the gonzo side of Gamma World, and I must say I appreciated what I've seen thus far.

Here's the link.

I wish It can be of some interest.

I get a big fat "warning dangerous website" message when I hit the link. Whazzup with that?

(not WotC - the source)

I'll check it out as I was gonna work on one myself when the DMG came out. Probably still will just to have something to do.

Plan to do my conversion from 4th edition GW.

The source it's mediafire. The site do tend to open annying a lot of pop up. I use it quite frequently and it never gave me problem but I can't garuantee it's 100% safe.

Yeah thats the one up on the WOTC site. It uses Tweets garbage "Omega World" setting as a base and is alot more goofball again than we prefer, especially after the epic failure of 4e D&D GW. aka Random World or Wacky World.

Was omega world so bad? I usually doesn't mind a little silliness (or even a lot, admittedly) and I remember having read some positive impression about it.

It looks OK I think (but then I like gonzo). 5E mechanics are pretty smooth, it just could use a few things:
-more mutations (its especially missing detrimental mutations. So there's a point to playing a PSH. It suffers especially badly compared to Mutant Epoch).
-more classes and feats
-cryptic alliances (that I noticed).
I don't like the random-roll of race 7E style given that there's only a single roll and 8 options (instead of combining two d20 rolls), but you could probably pick instead. Bestiary seems fairly nice. Overall a good start, just a bit incomplete.

Omega World was absolute genius!
