In this one hosts Lowell Francis and Marc Majcher cover the extended history of Gamma World, with a focus on the first two editions (of many). We talk about what Gamma World is, where it fits in gaming history, what the media context is like, and our general thoughts about the game. Roll for Mutation won't be covering things chronologically, but we do hope to hit the \"tentpole\" games in the genre early.\nReferences\nGamma World on Wikipedia\nGamma World on RPG Geek\nGrognardia on Gamma World \nGrognardia on Gamma World 2e\nDesigners & Dragons Volume 1 The 1970s\nGame Wizards\nFor other shows like this, check out Roll for Origin: Supers TTRPG History.\nMarc Majcher is an award-winning game designer, performer, educator, director, woodworker, writer, and all-around goblin-man recently relocated from Austin, Texas to East Lansing, Michigan.
