🎲☢️D&D's Post-Apocalyptic Cousin: GAMMA WORLD! 🐉🔫

TSR began working on a Science-Fiction version of Dungeon & Dragons almost immediately after D&D's release. The result published in 1976 was Metamorphosis Alpha, a Science-Fantasy Game that takes place aboard a generation ship full of mutants. Two years later, they released Gamma World, a post-apocalyptic game of survival in a radiated wasteland. I talk about both games, their inspirations, and their legacy.

MAKER'S MARK & 7-UP
Just a simple highball drink that was my mom's favorite. Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky in a glass over ice, topped with 7-Up. I added a squeeze of lemon to mine, as I find the soda too sweet.
