Campaign of the Month: October 2011
Gamma World: Oasis

The world hasn’t been the same since The Big Mistake. We all know that. Some folks have it worse than others, of course. We got people living anarchy, where gun-kings rule the land by putting a bullet in anyone that says otherwise. We got folks that live in the remnants of France, which I think is bein’ run by some kind of cybernetic pope, now. We got folks living in Florida, the poor souls.
But, it ain’t all bad. Some folks scraped away, and managed to find themselves a cozy little room on this big old floatin’ burg called The Oasis. Back in the day, seems the Ancients took these fancy big boats out for joyrides all the time, but, nowadays, it’s not a vacation, it’s home, and with every home, everyone’s gotta do their part for the place.
We have our captain, of course, and our cooks, our farmers and fishermen. The usual dregs. But this story? This is about our little neighborhood’s troubleshooters.

Gamma World: Oasis Comments
As a fellow lover of “snarky humor” I have to say this takes the cake in both terms of clever wit and heavy cool factor. I am sure the game sessions are intense too.
Imagination = the greatest nation on earth!
I love this campaign and words cannot do it justice. I need to go wipe the tears out of my eyes. I am laughing so much it hurts.
Thank you much, though the credit for the actual chaos that forms the story is entirely the player’s doing – I just put it down on the proverbial paper.
I have to say, this is the most entertaining thing I’ve had the pleasure of reading in a long while. Fivegears, congratulations on an absolutely spectacular and mindblowing story! If you all had as much fun playing it as I did reading it, cudos!
Still reading, still laughing… I love this campaign…
Thank you all very much. I’m probably going to write a short novel during NaNoWriMo in the Gamma World universe, just because I’m familiar with it now. And, in the process it might give me more adventure ideas.
So damn funny. I lol’ed a couple times reading through. Wonderful, inventive campaign!
The stick of pain should be in your item section!
Congrats guys! Love the apartment rules. Be Excellent to Each Other—Wyld Stallyns!!!!!!
WTF?? This is insanely awesome. Dr. Matango is the bees knees.
hehe this campaign looks absurdly fun to play =]]
Thank you very much, Twiggyleaf – doing everything I can to get everyone involved in this horrible little world that’s unfolding.
Excellent work! Congratulations on winning Game of the Month! The whole feel of the text is very welcoming and the artwork and aesthics of the site are cool! The DRAMA CARDS are amazing!

this one’s funny.
Thanks! And loot and pillage any idea you can pry from this campaign – I’d be happy to see anything used elsewhere. Just let me know if you happen to put them up on your OP page!
Simply mutarific. I will have to incorporate some of your great ideas into my campaign.
Grats on the COTM, I had missed this one and now that I see it I am truly impressed. Great story, funny material, and it just draws ya in. Keep up the good work and have fun.
Congrats to all on the COTM!!!
Congratulations to Fivegears and all his magnificent survivors in attaining the richly deserved Campaign of the Month award!

@killervp – Thank you, that means a lot more to me than you might think.
Wow, ok, this has become must read material. Serious laughter and insanity!
Game on…
In most cases, these cards can be used as a free action on your turn, unless the card implies otherwise. We’re using the versions of the cards that aren’t system-specific, so, we’ll work with them on a case-by-case basis.
So, how does this drama card thing work?
Gak, checking in! Sales are up, profits are up, enemies are down!
How the hell do I join this campaign?
well, i find the old guy’s response somewhat reasonable that he skipped the negotiation check and went straight to toe crunching. if quorzom had the toes to feel empathy, he would have said something condescending about it. called kudzu a hippy again, or something.
all together a great night. i enjoy the way its been simplified ad nausium without trying to make it D&D:A the way they tried with the essentials game. /gag.
A successful dry-run, considering it’s been a year and a half since I’ve run anything. I feel bad for not expanding upon the interaction between the villages leader and David’s character, kudzu, but, I think having him limp forward with a bazooka set the group in the right direction, as they had gathered enough information at the time, and were just fishing a bit.
