Let's Make A Gamma World 4th Edition Character 

He really went "Unbird's your fish" and then proceeded to go "Unmans your fish, too." Bro did that fish dirty.

said was making a duck character, clearly makes a goose character. the injustices to geese only continue

THE FLUMP, IT MOVES NOW, IT'S ALIVE

I love these "Lets make a [xxx] character" videos

Is it really a surprise this edition is the most appreciated among the fans? All the rules, in order of use, relatively easily searchable?!? Unpossible!! Loving the duck -

This really seems like a "Right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing" moment in terms of game development at TSR. Was it a matter of different writers on different projects, of demands from higher ups to keep the old Thac0 around, of some folks conflating this unintuitive chart business to brand and game identity? I am curious where it all lands.

The secret origins of psyduck revealed!

4:50: You can play a mutant octopus? Awesome. I wonder if I can convince someone in my gaming group to run Gamma World...

Having both the Roleplay and roll identification kinda makes sense. In a way, my character could identify partial use of an artifact, but still need to thinker with it in order to fully understand it. Or, my character could have no idea of what it is and thinker his way into understanding.

It's really cool to see the evolution of game design

My only experience with Gamma World is Omega World, which is a D20 conversion that was in Dungeon magazine. It was easy for my group to play, and I have good memories of my players encountering an "active radio" that lead to even more mutations.

In our party, we had a flying mutant octopus Examiner with a rocket launcher and kept the rockets in his body, while i played a Bear scout! Our characters woke in our new forms from cryo chambers in the basement of a research building! Turns out that my bear loved blueberry pie! Thac0 was just the chart boiled down to a number!

Oh yes, leather armor is the sexiest of armors. That's really important to me when I'm playing as...a mutated, humanoid duck. DuckTales always was the height of sex appeal, I guess.

After you’re done the Gamma World series, make a character for The Robotic Age!

I was a cheetah man with a lance and a motorcycle.

Your channel is fantastic and severely underrated. I appreciate the hard work you put into your videos, always a joy to learn about TTRPGs and Character Creation.

Something interesting to look at in terms of D&D rules evolution is Dragon Fist, 1999 web published game from wizards.

I'm really enjoying this wander through Gamma World!

Ducks are already Horny Tentacle Monsters in Real Life, so the random mutation being tentacles is just the Universe imposing itself on the dice rolls.

I know everyone is going to by hype for the "disaster" that is 4e and random character creation in 7th, or 6th's d20 system, but I genuinely can not wait to see your takes on Omega World. It seems to fix almost every problem with the series you have already described, and I'm excited to see your take on it :)

The future editions (Alternity, D20 Modern, 4e) will be interesting ones.

Love when this guy posts

36:59 well when you need to exceed a target, adding to your roll is equivalent to subtracting from the target in terms of results. So really THAC and THAC0 do the same thing, THAC just does it in a way that is less complicated.

I'm extremely disappointed that you only have 11.5K subs, I've absorbed your content and spread it to most of my friends. Keep it up buddy, I'm sure you'll go viral soon!

A video for the lancer rpg would be fun.

The funny thing is the revised 2nd edition AD&D (The black book at the end) Kind of has to state that it's not 3rd edition, because that is still in the works, and that hopefully you will be seeing it soon. This is the version that you get when you deal with the PDFs these days. The reasons why it wasn't in the cards in 1995 was due to the sheer stupidity as to what TSR was going thru as a company. At that point, the past 2 years saw them having to after dealing with the mandated fiasco that is Buck Rogers XXVc chasing after some strange new fad called Tradable Card Games with any D&D skin that could stick. From Spellfire's mess of a ruleset, through the use of Planescape's Hell for Blood Wars, to Dragon Dice's pure chaos of being just use dice and make them come in randomized boxes.

I love these vids man good job!

I was just reading the rulebook today! Thanks for covering this!

THAC0 wiorks pretty much identically to BAB in 3.5, just inverted so that AC works the same as it did in previous editions. The actual simplest way to use it is THAC0-(1d20+modifiers)=AC hit, and it becomes even easier if you flip your modifiers and write down an Adjusted THAC0. It's just slightly unintuitive.

The duck!! Such a cool series; I really enjoy these videos!

Can we make a *Panic at the Dojo* character next? Been looking for help with character creation in that one but cant find any videos on it. Please and thank you

This series has been really fascinating so far. I'd be interested in trying a game in this system but with the old Metamorphosis Alpha setting, which seems a lot more interesting.

4th is an excellent version of GW, deservedly one of the higher regarded, but it bears at lest one criticism: character-creation in it has become complex enough that it conflicts with the "go hard, die fast" nature of the setting. Crunching through several goofy mutant PCs over he course of a campaign, happy to see what ridiculous ways they'll die and what unexpected weirdo you'll roll up next, has always been part of the fun, but taking more than ten minutes to throw a PC together impedes that.

Gosh, starting as a smart average sized animal that you have to buy human traits. What a novel idea I've never seen before in a game

Not sure where it fits in but there was also a very fun board game, gammarauders.

They’re all many other games that are like this I hope you will covered them they a chronicle of darkness version. And I can’t remember it name but if I find it I post it up

Really off topic but that outro sax music is pretty sweet

Gammaworld fourth edition, not to be confused with D&D 4th edition's Gammaworld.

It is a wonderful day in Gamma World, it's time to make a horrible goose.

Can you make a Hunther the reckonig 5e video ? i try to use your video for Hunter 5e but they made a lot of changes

cool bird

Wait, is that Captain Power on the cover? That totally looks like Captain Power… i just checked the internet, that is totally Captain Power.

Also, nice to explain mechanics by referring to mechanics in another game system. I guess the writers thought any nerd who'd pick up this would have taken D&D as a en entry drug, huh?

Honestly, these videos are pretty damn interesting, although I do wonder what you’d think of Eclipse Phase and Eclipse Phase 2e. Perhaps you could cover them ag some point (although, maybe you already did, and I just didn’t see it)

.... is it me or is duality like stupidly strong?

I like the duck's leather choker.

Why is the Use Artifacts Diagram the Tree of Life?

Howard the Duck!

wonder if your going to do travaller or cyberpunk next? mostly traveler as you can die during character creation

Call me boring, but a pure-strained human what are actually been a nice subversion of expectations, if only to establish a baseline. After all, if everyone's a tiefling paladin, no one is.

I really don’t get why the rule book insists on referencing D&D.

Aren't ducks already bipedal? They walk on 2 legs

After doing gamma world. One should check out The Mutant Epoch from Outland Arts.
